Windows 7 Product Guide

Windows 7 is Here - Microsoft India

The Windows 7 Product Guide provides a detailed look at the many new and improved features in Windows 7. The guide is also designed to provide IT Professionals with information about how to Make People Productive Anywhere, Manage Risk Through Enhanced Security and Control, and Reduce Costs by Streamlining PC Management.

This is not a help and how to guide. Rather, it provides an overview of the many exciting features in Windows 7 and pointers to more information.

7 Ways to Change the World

7ways

To celebrate the launch of Windows 7, Microsoft is  launching an exciting new online competition today called 7 Ways to Change the World.

All you need to do is to create a two minute video explaining how they believe a Windows PC could help a non-profit make a greater impact.  It could be helping a food bank manage their inventory or helping to deliver after school care for kids, the possibilities are endless!

There will be 7 winners, and each person who submits a winning entry will receive a new PC with Windows 7 and a $7,000 grant for their chosen NGO. All the submitted entries would be kept online, providing NGOs with a great resource of ideas on how they can use technology.

This competition provides a nice alternative community-focused angle on the release of Windows 7 and I’ll urge you to promote it to as many people as possible.

  • November 11th 2009 – Closing date for entries
  • November 16th – 24th 2009 – 7 winners announced (1 winner x 7 working days!)
