Windows 7 Release

2009 October 22 – 4:41 pm

windows-7-logoAs you may have already heard  Microsoft launched their brand new client OS (oprerating system)  today, indeed Windows 7 is now officialy on sale to both businesses and the general public.

As Glo Networks were lucky enough to take part in the Beta testing of the product we have had  loads of experience with it. Throughout the Beta and RC stages we have been very impressed with the OS and are very pleased with the final product.  We feel the pricing of the product is a great deal and would higly reccomend this OS to anyone.

For anyone upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows Vista the process should be very smooth as Windows 7 has been designed with this compatability in mind, however for Windows XP users wishing to upgrade a sytem rebuild will be required.

We would be more than happy to offer our advice on the new product, please do not hesitate to contact us for more info!
