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

We’ve decided to run a Windows 7 launch party on October 22nd at Langstone Business Park in Newport.

You might ask why we are doing this. After all why note the launch of another version of Windows? Its a good question. However we have been using Windows 7 for some time now and are utterly convinced that this is an important version of Windows, and one that has great implications for business – especially small businesses. I don’t want to sound like an advert for Microsoft, after all we pride ourselves for considered and impartial but this new version of Windows really does improve the way you interact with a PC in a most efficient and effective way.

Ok so that’s the technical pitch, but lets be honest for most people in business being told about Windows is not the most exciting way to spend some time. That is why we are running in the party format. We invite you to come along, have some lunch, mingle and network with other business people and take a look at why we think this is important.

That is why you should be there. It is a way meet other business people, maybe strike a deal and also learn about something that could help you out in the future.
