- #3 Microsoft listened to business customers just like you to find out what you were looking for in your PCs. They heard loud and clear: performance, ease of use, and security.
- #4 Designed with these needs in mind, the Windows 7 Professional operating systemdelivers a powerful combination of innovation, improved performance, and productivity.Windows 7 Professional:Works the way you want. With a focus on the fundamentals, Windows 7 Professional delivers on what matters to running a business: speed, reliability, compatibility, and connectivity.Helps you get more done. Find what you need quickly, easily connect to your networks, and be more productive—whether you’re at work, at home, or on the road.Safeguards your work. Keep your business up and running with new security and recovery enhancements that help prevent security threats and data loss. Now let’s look at each of these sections in detail.
- #5 “Works the way you want” means Windows 7 delivers on the fundamentals: Responsive and ready—you can start using your PC quickly with fast startup, shutdown, sleep, and resume from Standby. Performance improvements include improved memory utilization and 64-bit computing support. Works with the majority of software or devices that work with the Windows Vista operating system. Windows XP Mode* provides you with the flexibility to run many older Windows XP productivity applications right from the Windows 7 desktop.Powerful diagnostics and troubleshooting tools found in Windows Action Center make it easy to quickly fix problems.*Windows XP Mode requires either original equipment manufacturer (OEM) preinstallation or postpurchase installation of Windows XP Mode (which runs on Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate) or a virtualization technology such as Windows Virtual PC. Windows XP Mode requires a PC with 2 gigabytes (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 3 GB RAM (64-bit), 15 GB available disk space, and a processor capable of hardware virtualization, with Intel VT or AMD-V turned on. Both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc. For more information on system requirements, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc.
- #6 Find what you need quickly, easily connect to your networks, and be more productive—whether you’re at work, at home, or on the road. Find what you need fast with instant search, Jump Lists, and a larger, customizable taskbar with pop-up previews. Type a few letters in the search box, and files, applications, or even menus appear in seconds. Similar types of documents (such as financial records or customer lists) can be grouped into Libraries—making it easy to find them even if they are stored in different folders or on different PCs. Everyday tasks are streamlined and simplified—with commonly used resources put within easy access and clutter minimized on the desktop. Enhancements to the Windows Aero user experience (such as AeroSnap, AeroPeek, and AeroShake) help you intuitively navigate, arrange, and work with multiple open windows on the desktop. Mobile computing is easier with access to all your mobile settings in one place and greater connection and networking options. Now you can access and share all your work computer programs, files, and network resources—whether you’re at home or on the road. You can even disconnect from the network, work offline, and then have your network files automatically and seamlessly updated with any new changes. And with Location-Aware Printing, your documents automatically get sent to the right printer.For small businesses without a server, HomeGroup lets users easily share documents, printers, and devices across multiple PCs running Windows 7. For businesses with a server, Windows 7 Professional lets users connect PCs quickly and more securely to both wired and wireless domain networks. This can help IT personnel better manage security and the costs of running multiple PCs.
- #7 Windows 7 Professional helps keep PCs backed up, protected, and highly secure:Advanced Backup lets you schedule a periodic backup to save your data or an entire system image to a network location or a local drive. This helps you quickly restore individual files or folders that get accidentally deleted. Help protect your business’s confidential information, such as credit card numbers or employee information, with powerful encryption technologies that encrypt your files and folders. Help keep your business up and running with Windows Defender offering enhanced protection from Internet threats, spyware, and other forms of malicious software. The Windows Internet Explorer 8 Internet browser helps protect your data and business information by delivering improved protection against security and privacy threats. Improved Windows 7 user account controls and security enhancements help keep you safe with fewer interruptions.
- #8 These benefits sound great, but why should you choose Windows 7 Professional over other options, including what you might already have?
- #9 Windows 7 Professional is easy to use, fast, reliable, and highly secure. Windows XP is nearly a decade old, with limited support for new hardware and software. On the other hand, Windows 7 Professional has been specifically designed to meet the growing demands of modern technology users by offering the latest innovations in networking, mobility, entertainment, data protection, and compatibility. And with Windows XP Mode, you get the compatibility of Windows XP in Windows 7 Professional.
- #10 With Windows 7 Professional, we listened to our business customers. First and foremost, we strengthened fundamentals around performance, reliability, and security. We made it easy to use and provided wireless networking enhancements as well as more comprehensive (and comprehensible) troubleshooting. We also added Windows XP Mode,a valuable transition tool that lets you run many existing older Windows XP applications right from the Windows 7 desktop.
- #11 The simplified product lineup of Windows 7 is easy to understand. With no more complex choices between editions, all Windows 7 editions simply offer a more complete set of features than the edition before. *Additional hardware may be required. Not available in all countries.**Requires download of Windows XP Mode (which runs on Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate) and virtualization technology such as Windows Virtual PC. Both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC can be downloaded from http://microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc.
- #12 If you start with Windows 7 Professional and realize you want the extended business features of Windows 7 Ultimate, it’s a quick and easy process. All you have to do is purchase an upgrade key to unlock the additional features. In just 10 minutes, the whole process is complete. Simply go to the Start menu, under ExtrasandUpgrades, to begin.
- #13 What are the purchase options? Windows 7 Professional is available preinstalled on a new PC, via full-package product (FPP). Upgrading customers from Windows XP requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7 Professional, and then reinstallation of programs, drivers, and data. An upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional preserves current files, settings, and programs.
- #15 Product functionality and graphics may vary based on your system configuration. Some features may require advanced or additional hardware; visit http://www.windows.com/business for more information.
