Alpha Technical Solutions

Today is October 22nd, the day that Microsoft lets the world see its new operation system. By the world I’m talking about mainstream business and users; as a good many technically minded people have been trailing it some time. In fact it seems to me that the technical press are generally applauding the work done on Windows 7, whilst the mainstream press (this is view is based on some BBC reporting – which is very mainstream) are more cautious and are doing a good job of reminding people of the nightmare days of the Vista launch. One side see the product, the other see change (which is often bad).

Here’s my take on the two sides. Conservatism is an essential part of computing. A bad change to a computer system can be very costly indeed, but I also feel that it is also best to take each product on its merits and apply it to your own needs. As a product I still feel that Windows 7 exceeds previous versions of Windows. Does it meet your needs – well only careful consideration can tell you that. In fact this is why we are putting a number of businesses in a room with Windows 7. We are hoping for an open and frank examination of the system against business needs. Its all about putting information in the hands of the people who need it.

Talking about information here is today’s Windows 7 video, have a look at Latika talking about responsiveness and safety in Windows 7
