Windows 7

AndrewWindows 7 is finally debuting at the end of the month and users for the first time in a long while finally have a real reason to consider upgrading. Microsoft has learned its lesson from the problematic launch that plagued Vista's debut and has brought forth their most elegant and stable operating system yet. Since Windows 7 is built on a modified core of Vista, any program that currently works in Vista is pretty much guaranteed to work with Windows 7. Microsoft has also been able to streamline much of the fat out of Vista, allowing for a faster environment. They have been able to supply a number of "WOW" factors to the new operating system, with features that enhance a number of ideas started in Vista. 
 
Microsoft has setup a slider for the User Account Control allowing users to decide exactly how often they want Windows to notify them of alerts. The Aero interface has also been fine tuned featuring new tweaks that will help productivity in the long run. Want to focus on one window while minimizing the rest? Simply grab the title bar and shake the mouse. Need to review two documents side by side? Grab the title bar of the one document and drag it all the way to the right end of the screen, it will then fill only half the screen while dragging the other document to the other end will fill its side of the screen.

Best of all many users who purchased a new computer after June 26th, 2009 you are eligible for a free upgrade. Contact your computer manufacturer to find out if you are among the groups of people eligible for this upgrade.
 
Microsoft has worked hard on making Windows 7 the next true operating system that Vista was supposed to be. We at MXOtech have had the chance to play with a pre-release build for a few months now and found that Microsoft's efforts have paid off. Windows 7 is finally the upgrade Windows users have been looking for.

Finally as always if you require any assistance choosing whether to upgrade or help upgrading to Windows 7 feel free to contact me at andrew@Mxotech.com.
