Microsoft Windows 7 – Operating System

Microsoft has been haunted for years by the ghost of Windows XP the system that many  still view as good enough for their purposes and far less painful than upgrading to its successor, Windows Vista.

Now, with the new Microsoft Windows 7 becoming available the message that Microsoft is trying to put out is that there is something better out there for you!

Well that’s the message Microsoft is trying to deliver by releasing a big batch of case studies and research aimed at persuading users to move to the new version of its operating system, Microsoft Windows 7.

It’s not an easy sell, given Windows Vista’s repeated delays and disappointing performance. but Microsoft is trying to make the arguments persuasive.

For example the Family Pack, which will let PC users upgrade to Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium on up to three existing Windows Vista or XP computers, will come at a discount of more than $200 from buying the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrades individually. It’s one of a series of steps Microsoft is taking to make the new operating system more affordable.

“Our goal is to make sure customers can easily move up to Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium on a bunch of different PCs,” said Microsoft’s Michelle Haven, a product manager in the Windows business group.

“After 3 months of trial with over 300 users, 97% of our test users would recommend the new OS to peers and Intel IT sees the potential to save $11M over the next three years,” the abstract reads. “Because of improved employee productivity, reduced costs, ease of deployment and enhanced security, Intel IT is rolling out Windows 7 to early adopters this year and enterprise deployments starting early 2010.”
