- 37. Windows 7 – Projected Adoption
- 38. Projected Adoption Over 80 percent of information technology professionals plan to upgrade to Windows 7 within 30 months of it Enterprise release in September 2009. About 50% of enterprise Information Technology Decision Makers plan to upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as available. That means by February of 2012, only about 17% - 21% of large enterprise businesses will be holding onto other versions of Windows client operating systems. Microsoft will discontinue all support for Windows XP between 2010 - 2014.
- 39. Projected Adoption Over 80 percent of information technology professionals plan to upgrade to Windows 7 within 30 months of it Enterprise release in September 2009. In the next 30 months, Windows 7 license sales should reach around 80 million units in the business market, making it’s adoption pace much greater than Windows XP, which had a good adoption rate in early 2001 - 2004.
- 41. Windows 7 Installation Information
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Notes: Windows Vista's biggest issues were in the User Access Control, which were set to interact with the user when software changes were made. It was not transparent and was annoying, plus the lack of drivers for hardware coming out in the first year of the Vista OS release. Vista also had hefty hardware requirements in terms of RAM and processor power. Intel's Duo and Quad Core processors were not in place i businesses yet.
- This first timeline shows Windows 2000, XP and Server 2000 and 2003. Most people using in their business networks.
- This second timeline shows the last 3 years. Vista in Jan. 2007 and Windows 7 in Oct. 2009. Client operating systems are highlighted.
- The pie chart shows the corporate use of operating systems in July 2009. This data is from Forrester Research. Windows 2000 was 1.2% of operating systems in March 2009 and declining. Linux on the corporate desktop was < 0.1%.
- Browser distribution chart from Internet data source. IE 6 in use because of Windows XP usage; there is a direct relationship between IE 6 and Windows XP. IE 8 has compatibility mode to work with older website.
- ArrowQuick testing from early 2009 betas, RC version and now the final version of Windows 7.
- This section is to introduce the improvement of Windows 7 and the new features. Speed, productivity and cost savings are usually key. So use examples that speak to this case for Windows 7.
- Vista had UAC problems; steep system requirements, and initial drivers not available. Installation copies an image and not thousands of files. This equates to speedier installs. Where XP typically took 40+ minutes, Windows 7 is closer to 20 minutes. Windows 7 is from 5% to 15% faster in most measurements. Windows 7 is almost 50% smaller in hard drive space consumption. Consumer applications are left out of Windows 7 Professional - can be added with Live Essentials if needed.
- Business computers that have Microsoft Office and other business applications need to be reinstalled in a Custom or Clean Install process. Most users are medium to heavy users and will require about 3 - 4 hours work. Complete hard drive image backups will require an additional hour of time.
- These number are for older hardware!! Encourage modern hardware. Modern hardware would include multiple core processors like Intel's Core2 Duo or Core2 Quad processor families. Even those newer dual core Pentium processors can work fine. Older Pentium 4 processors with hyperthreading work acceptably in most cases. The most likely weak places will be in memory and graphics. The Windows Experience Index can help determine the weak spots.
- Security and Stablitiy are equal to and better than Vista. Drivers developed from Vista make availability good. Business life cycle of PCs is 3 - 4 years by most standards. 3 years based on depreciation.
- In particular, Windows 7 saves vast amounts of hard drive space. This is accomplished by not installing additional files that are not used for most people. Also, many consumer level applications are left uninstalled, but can be found at Microsoft's website under Windows Live Essentials. Win7 services will only run as long as they are needed, so there is no need to tweak with &quot;msconfig&quot;.
- This section is to introduce the new features.
- Image shows progression of designers as they worked from Vista to Windows 7. Action Center is now on the far right. And the stackable view of icons makes the taskbar less cluttered. For the demonstration later, show how to pin an application or folder to the taskbar and also the Start Menu. For the demonstration later, show the ability to search for photos in Flickr and also a term in Google.
- Jump Lists are context sensitive. Try them with various applications and folders to see the differences. What does a jump list look like on a hard drive or network icon?
- Used in conjunction with Aero Peek, the taskbar is much better now. For the demonstration later, show the Aero Peek as it pertains to the taskbar. Aero Peek makes current windows transparent while viewing other information. In this case, we see the mouse moving over SongBird application which has one window open. Hovering over that preview will provide an enlarged view while making the other windows on the desktop transparent. (Demo this to make effective point later.)
- This example of Aero Snap show that when a window is dragged to the top edge of screen, it will expand to fill the screen once mouse button is released. May also show AeroShake. Ask the participant if they can see the outline of potential windows maximized.
- For the demo later, create a folder of project files on the hard drive. Then add that folder to the Libraries and show how this aids in keeping files easily accessible and searchable.
- IE8 supports web standards better and has new features ( http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/features/faster.aspx ). It has an IE7 &quot;compatibility mode&quot; in case a site has problems with IE8.
- Notes: XP Mode does NOT require an XP Pro license. Downloadable as an add-on to Windows 7 from Microsoft website. Requirements: PC hardware must support virtualization. ArrowQuick can determine this with a software utility.
- These features are ADVANCED and thus require either Windows 7 Ultimate or a business network domain that has a Windows Server 2008 R2 installation.
- If you can't do an in-place upgrade, a clean install will at least give you a fresh OS (without the grunge that builds up over time).
- Home Premium – Retails for $259; Upgrade for $99; Home Package (5 PCs) Upgrade for $149. Professional – Retails for $299; Upgrade for $199 Enterprise - Volume licensing only (most of Ultimate features) Ultimate – Retails for $319; Upgrade for $219.
- By October 2010, Windows 7 will account for nearly half of all client operating systems shipped to corporate users at 49.5%. Vista’s adoption rate in the same timeframe will be 15%. By October 2011, Windows 7 will jump to nearly 75% of units shipped; Vista will slip to under 1%. To characterize how fast Vista will fade, Windows XP will account for nearly 35% or nearly 41 million units in 2010 even though it started life in late 2001 and will be 1 year into its extended support.
- Notes - you must download Windows Live software pack - free for mail, photo gallery. Live can be downloaded.

- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635 For large deployments of PCs, consider using the User State Migration Tool for Windows 7. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lib rary/dd560801(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/li brary/dd723609.aspx
- So should you upgrade? If you are using Vista, definitely -- it is basically &quot;Win Vista SP3&quot;. If you are using XP and are happy with it, you don't need to upgrade, but you shouldn't be afraid to.
