Is Windows 7 a corporate tonic or a gorgeous bomb?

Lead: Since the launch of Microsoft's Windows 7 system, it has injected a new vitality into the PC industry. But it is such a tonic to the enterprise, what kind of benefits will Windows7 bring? Microsoft recently upgraded its Windows 7 operating system platform, and although there are still different reactions in the market, Lido is more than negative.

With the launch of the Windows 7 system, there are more than 8 million beta downloads; 40,000 hours of customer experience; these are undoubtedly a good start for Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows 7 is more than XP Competitive, and Microsoft is improving by improving customer focus: security, reliability, compatibility and speed, especially for business users, small business owners, mobile and need to have high security and fast response System, and can perform multiple tasks at the same time.

After the impact of the global financial crisis on the global market, the global rate of transition to the 'next Windows' version has slowed significantly. Many XP system users who have been supporting for 8 years still refuse to upgrade to Vista, which shows that Microsoft's next-generation system is difficult to promote. As Microsoft is about to stop extending support for XP in phases by 2014, the launch of the new platform is imminent.

However, for some partners, the extra features included in Windows 7 may have a negative impact on their potential revenue. Windows 7's direct access technology allows remote office employees to access the corporate network without having to go through a VPN, which will affect some of Microsoft's partners. What is most concerned is that the impact of Windows 7 on existing customers' business applications is still unknown. However, although there are some temporary problems for some applications that are developed for the company and have invested heavily, many functions will be retained in the Windows 7 system.

As a result, Windows 7 is still relatively optimistic, especially in the enterprise market. In the next 12 months, the use of this system to build an application environment is quite strong. However, this does not mean that upgrades are allowed before strict costing and planning have been carried out. On the other hand, Windows 7 also offers the opportunity to "clean up" the system and make enterprise applications run more smoothly.

There is no doubt that the two issues that companies are most concerned about will be price and compatibility. However, the benefits of the new system to improve overall performance, reliability and efficiency are far greater than the negative impact. For enterprises, with the pressure to increase IT budgets after 2010 and start to build infrastructure, coupled with the introduction of Windows7 is the stage for enterprises to adjust IT systems and update hardware cycles, which is beneficial to this Windows7. Market period.

In addition, Microsoft has begun to reach a wide range of major users, and works closely with OEM partners across the industry to promote Windows 7 products faster.
