Microsoft Hits a Home Run with Windows 7
Trust me, the last thing I want to do is provide free advertising for anyone here, and rarely do I get wobbly legged over OS changes, but I have to admit, Windows 7 is the real deal, and Microsoft has regained my confidence. As a matter of fact, Microsoft has sold a staggering 90 million copies of Windows 7 to date, making it the fasted selling operating system in history.
What really makes this matter is that there are finally compelling reasons upgrade, and not just because you don’t like Vista. In fact, Windows 7 is giving all the XP hold-outs a great reason to upgrade also. With the prevalence of viruses (our experience is that virus activity has been up strongly, especially as measured by the tenacity of the viruses in terms of difficulty of detecting and removing), including those that seem to target XP specifically, there are certainly some compelling reasons to upgrade to a more secure OS, which Windows 7 appears to be, offering more ways to control your environment and limit exposure to many types of trojans and malware.
It sounds like the time to move on is here, and Windows 7 is giving us compelling reasons to do so. The functionality sells itself, and the interface has taken some real steps forward. Do some research and take some time thinking about how ready you may be to upgrade your OS from XP or Vista, and possibly even your hardware. Time is money, and a frustrating user experience due to slow hardware, outdated OS, or constant viruses may lead you to a decision to upgrade and make sure your users are happy with their computers again.
Happy computing!
