Works the way you want.

1.        Experience a faster and more reliable operating system.

·       Windows® 7 is responsive and ready—you can start using your computer quickly with fast startup, shutdown, sleep, and resume from standby.

·       Windows 7 is designed to be more reliable than Windows Vista® Service Pack 1.

2.        Use a variety of applications and devices.

·       Windows 7 Professional is highly compatible with a wide range of devices and software. And to provide you even more flexibility, Windows 7 Professional offers Windows XP Mode,* giving you the flexibility to run many older Windows XP productivity applications directly from your Windows 7 desktop, thus helping you realize cost savings and reduce possible operational downtime by extending the life of existing software.

·       Microsoft® Office 2007 is the most widely used productivity system in the world. With it, you can be confident that the documents and presentations you create can be easily shared with more than 500 million people worldwide. It’s also likely that your existing and potential employees are already familiar with how to use it, so they’ll spend less time training and more time getting business done.

3.        Control costs.

·       Spend less time and money resolving computer issues. The powerful diagnostics and troubleshooters built into Action Center in Windows 7 Professional makes it easier to resolve many IT issues yourself.

Then take your marketing one step further and track marketing campaigns to targeted lists, using the combined capabilities of Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 and Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007 with Business Contact Manager.

4.        Share files and devices easily—whether you have a server or not.

·       Even if your organization does not have a server, you can take advantage of HomeGroup to easily share documents, printers, and more across multiple Windows 7–based computers.

·       If your organization does have a server, Windows 7 Professional lets you connect computers quickly and more securely to your wired or wireless domain network (with Domain Join).* Combined with Group Policy Control,* you can even better manage security and costs of multiple computers.

so you can quickly see who’s available, away, or busy whether you’re in e-mail, instant messaging, or Microsoft Office Groove® 2007.

Gets more done.

5.        Find what you need quickly.

·       Find the customer and constituent record, e-mail, or application you need from your computer or network almost instantly with Windows Desktop Search.
