Technology I See Happening

Windows 7 will drop like an atom bomb in the next two days and I can’t say enough about it. I have been beta testing Windows 7 for about a year now and have found it to be light years ahead of any other version of Windows. Microsoft has not hit a home run like this since the advent of Windows 95. One interesting thing about Windows 7, for all of those who are interested, is it is much lighter than its predecessor Windows Vista. Windows 7 can bring computers that are teetering on replacement back to life. Only Linux could make that claim until now. For schools, the advent of Windows 7 should be looked as more than a new added expense, it should be embraced and put into action sooner than later. School systems can now reevaluate their existing computers potential and may actually save money with the use of Windows 7. The three words that I would use to describe the OS are stable, secure and light. Microsoft is also making Windows 7 available to educators and students at great discounts. I am not a pitch man for Microsoft, in fact, I have been a big fan of Linux for quite a while, but this version of Windows has brought me back to Microsoft. It is about time!
