2SS.Com
has
recently
had our
'HANDS
ON'
Windows
7
and we
like
what we
see!.
Compared
to 'Windows
Vista'
its MUCH
MORE
intuitive
and
forgiving
when
executing
the
common
tasks
that
most
users
will
want to
use it
for.
And so
far it
seems to
allow
'normal'
Windows
XP style
programs
to run
fast and
well!
We like
the 'classic'
options
to help
make the
new OS
feel
familiar,
and the
handling
of items
in the
system
tray is
significantly
improved.
We don't
prefer
what
appear
to be
dedicated
menu
items
for
little-used
entries
like 'XFS
Viewer'
and 'Connect
to
Projector'
but we
suspect
those
can be
customized
away.

The
critical
issue is
that we
don't
yet know
the
compelling
reason
to
upgrade.
It's the
answer
to the
question...
"What
thing
does
Windows
7 will
do so
well,
that the
investment
in
upgrading
is
Worth
it!".
As we
continue
to look
and
evaluate,
here's
the best
summary
of
benefits
we've
found
among
recent
analysis

By "...replacing ... desktops, notebooks, workstations, and even servers with brand new hardware running the brand new Windows 7 operating system (OS), your company could save as much as $170 or more per system over a one year period through lower support and maintenance. Plus, in addition to saving time and money, you'll also improve the performance and security of your existing information, applications, and services." |
While $170 a year is not enough of the motivation we're looking for, we're optimistic in preparing for what's next!
AND, if thinking about Windows 7 puts you into a 'FUTURE FRAME OF MIND', you're in a good place to think about what's coming a little further out. A recent presenter to the TED organization (Technology, Entertainment, Design is a small nonprofit devoted to ideas worth spreading) knocked our socks off with their idea of technology as a "Sixth Sense".
Encouraging you to Click here may be the best thing we've ever done at 2SS.Com to help you get a glimpse of what's ahead! It's a powerful idea for mobile computing that we believe is very likely to come together in tools that enhance our abilities all the time, everywhere we go!
