Microsoft Windows7 to Hit Market End October 2009
Microsoft Corp said on Tuesday its new Windows 7 operating system will be generally available on Oct. 22, well ahead of its original schedule and in time for the holiday shopping season. The new operating system, which will replace the unpopular Vista, was originally planned for roll-out at the beginning of next year, but Microsoft confirmed last month that it would hit the market in time for the year’s busiest shopping period. The world’s largest software company said it will send Windows 7 code to PC makers to load onto new machines – known in the industry as “‘release to manufacturing”‘ – around the end of July.
By Oct. 22 2009, people will be able to buy new computers with Windows 7 installed, or pick up the software off the shelf to install on their old computers. Microsoft confirmed that it will run a program whereby people who buy a PC before Oct. 22 can upgrade to Windows 7, but it has not yet released details.
Microsoft Windows 7 Innovations Make It Easier and Quicker
It’s the simple things in life that are often the best. Perhaps with this in mind, Microsoft’s developers have crafted the Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system (OS).
Microsoft Windows 7 will be available in HP notebooks and desktop PCs from 22 October 2009. Including a whole heap of special little refinements, and a few big ones, it can help simplify the operation of your hard-working companion.
Make new things possible
Windows 7 innovations make it easier and quicker to share music, documents, printers, and more, on your home or office networks. The system supports latest advances in PC hardware, like 64-bit computing and multi-core processors, while improved memory capability will lift the overall performance of your computer.
An improved toolbar gives you a better view of the files and applications you have open. And you can even turn your computer into a touchscreen device, thanks to Windows Touch. With the right hardware you can use your fingers to find folders and files, touch-edit pictures, and even “paint” items on screen.
Clever collaboration
HP collaborated closely with Microsoft during the creation of the new OS to ensure that it performs optimally with HP models. Now, to make it easy for you to access the advantages of Windows 7, HP has joined the Windows Upgrade Option Programme, providing selected users with a free upgrade to the new OS.
