Microsoft - Windows 8

Home, Professional and Enterprise Operating Systems

Is it Time for you to have a New Operating System?

At WSI we think it is, but we work for you our client and can help you get additional life out of Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 or move to Windows 8 now or plan a transition from XP or Vista to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

There are benefits for going to Windows 8 now including:

• Windows 7 is the first version of Windows to actually run better on the same hardware than its predecessor and to have lower real-world hardware requirements and recommendations. Surprise: Windows 8 has done it again. Windows 8 actually runs better on the same hardware than its predecessor and has lower real-world hardware requirements than its predecessor.
• Windows 8 includes both anti-virus and anti-malware software out of the box!
• Windows 8 Gets you from powering on or resuming to the desktop faster than Windows 7.
• Cloud connected. With Windows 8, you can sign-in with your Microsoft account, creating a seamless way to sync your desktop (and Metro) settings from PC to PC. Yes, folks, Windows 8 syncs desktop settings too. This includes browser settings (Favorites, typed URLs, home page, and much more), accessibility settings, web credentials, File Explorer settings, HomeGroup settings, mouse settings, Open With settings, taskbar settings, and desktop theme settings. And if you grab the optional SkyDrive application, you can integrate File Explorer with your online storage. Awesome stuff.

How will WSI help you select and deploy the right operating system?

WSI will carefully review your operating system usage and current computing environment. We understand Microsoft's complicated licensing rules. We understand how to get the most out of Microsoft whether you are business, government or non-profit. We will work with you to come up with the best operating system deployment and support plan for your business.

WSI also understands alternative computing models such as terminal services (now called Windows Remote Desktop Services by Microsoft) and virtual desktops (VDI). These models allow you to run Windows from an inexpensive secure terminal. This model is great for protecting your data, enabling users to work with their desktop from anywhere, save electricity and much more.
