Investing in the Windows® 7 Professional operating system can bring long-term value to your business, while helping your workers be more productive-at home, at work, and on the road. New PCs with Windows 7 Professional are designed to be faster, more reliable, more secure, and easier to use than older PCs running Windows XP or the Windows Vista® operating system. More sophisticated networking and mobility features help mobile workers access their computer programs, files, and network resources away from the office. PCs with Windows 7 Professional can do more to protect your valuable business and customer data. At the same time, compatibility features let you run many of the applications and devices you use today-including applications for Windows XP.
“Why Windows 7 Professional?”

Windows XP — Windows 7 Professional has been specifically designed to meet the growing demands of modern technology users with more sophisticated networking, mobility, entertainment, data protection, and compatibility features. And with Windows XP Mode,* you get the compatibility of Windows XP in Windows 7 Professional.
Vs. Windows Vista — With Windows 7 Professional, we listened to our business customers. First and foremost, we strengthened fundamentals around performance, reliability, and security. We improved ease of use through user interface (UI) improvements, better wireless networking, and more comprehensive (and comprehensible) troubleshooting. We added Windows XP Mode,* giving businesses the option to extend the life of older productivity applications by running them in a virtual Windows XP environment. And we made it easier to make the transition between work and home with features like Location-Aware Printing.
Vs. Windows 7 Home Premium — With Windows 7 Professional, you get all of the home and entertainment features of Windows 7 Home Premium, as well as key business features. This gives users the experience that they are looking for in a PC.

This helps you quickly restore individual files or folders that get accidentally deleted. The Encrypting File System feature helps you protect your confidential information with powerful technologies that encrypt your files and folders. And Location-Aware Printing detects whether you’re at work or at home-automatically sending your documents to the right printer.
“Will my legacy applications work with Windows 7 Professional?”
Windows 7 Professional has an option to run some applications in compatibility mode. There is also Windows XP Mode,* a valuable transition tool that lets you run many existing older Windows XP applications. Windows XP Mode is easy to find and access from either the Start menu or the Windows 7 taskbar.
Do I need a new PC?

And with the improved battery life, you can keep going longer without having to stop and connect.
