icrosoft has announced that support for Windows XP will end in 2014. If your organization hasn’t already made the jump to Windows 7, it’s crucial you start
planning your migration now. An unsupported OS such as Windows XP exposes you to security and regulatory risks, performance issues, and costly management requirements. The productivity benefi ts of Windows 7 and the liabilities of staying with Windows XP mean there’s never been a better time to upgrade.
Support Next-Generation Mobility While Windows XP has been the standard OS for over a decade, today’s users expect a feature-rich, personalized computing experience across a wide variety of devices. Windows 7 is designed with a mobile workforce in mind, giving your users the productivity-boosting features they need to work wherever their day takes them.
