PCS Win7 Upgrade Option
Posted by Brian Gallutia on Jul 28, 2009
Lately we at PCS have been tooting the Win7 horn loud and often, but you’ve got to understand: it’s been a loooong time since we’ve been excited about a Microsoft operating system that doesn’t make end-users feel like they have an upgrade-gun pointed at their head.
We are also well aware that sometimes a new system purchase has to happen sooner rather than later. If you are in need of a PC and you can’t wait for Win7, then we’ve got a solution for our customers.
PCS is proud to offer the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. Here’s how it works…
- Purchase a qualifying Windows Vista Upgrade Option from PCS (Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate) along with a new PC during the eligibility period.
- You (the customer) can then visit a fulfillment Web site to order the Windows7 upgrade at no additional cost.
- After Windows 7 is released, the customers will receive from Microsoft a comparable version of Windows 7 for installation on their PCs.
Please contact us today if this is of interest to you or your office between now and October 22nd!
Which Win7 For You?
Posted by Brian Gallutia on Jul 28, 2009
During all major Windows operating system releases (which we’ve been involved in at least 8 of them), we at PCS invariably get asked the question: which version is right for me?
The right choice in selecting operating systems always come back answering a question with a question:
What are you going to do with your PC?
To simplify the whole decision-making process, we thought it would be a good idea to cut to the chase by offering the following if/then statements to help bring things into focus:
- IF you are a home user THEN Windows 7 Home Premium is your cup of tea. This Win7 version includes Aero UI tweaks, multi-touch capabilites (that you may never use but nice to have), media capabilities (Media Center, DVD playback, DVD creation, etc.) and you can create home network groups for homes with more than one PC.
- IF you use your PC for business, both at home and at the office, THEN Windows 7 Professional is for you. All of the features outlined above in the Premium package area available plus Remote Desktop functionality, domain support, and offline folders. Other perks such as Mobility Center and Presentation Mode make this version of Win7 perfect for the business laptop crowd.
- IF money is no limit and you don’t like not having everything available to you, THEN Windows 7 Ultimate is happy to reach into your pocket. At $320 retail, you get all of the nuts and bolts of the aforementioned versions plus BranchCache, DirectAccess and BitLocker technology. Are you surprised that you’ve been living your life without these features? Yea, we can’t believe it either (hehe).
