At the ongoing Worldwide Partner Conference held in New Orleans, USA by Microsoft, the company announced that its upcoming client operating system, Windows 7 will be made available to its business customers through volume licensing starting September 1, over a month ahead of its worldwide commercial launch on October 22. Starting September 1, business customers will be able to order the Windows 7 Enterprise variant through Microsoft Software Assurance licensing.
Hi loathe,
Thanks for sharing this interesting announcement from the Worldwide Partner Conference. It’s intriguing to see that Microsoft decided to give its business customers a bit of a head-start with Windows 7 Enterprise being available via volume licensing as early as September 1—well ahead of the worldwide commercial launch on October 22.
This early access strategy for business users via Microsoft Software Assurance licensing could be seen as Microsoft’s way of allowing companies to prepare, test, and roll out the new operating system in a more controlled manner before it hits the general public market. It’s a smart move, especially for larger enterprises that require a more seamless integration and customized deployment schedules.
If you have any thoughts or questions on how this might impact enterprise IT strategies or require further details about licensing specifics, feel free to ask! http://www.techpowerup.com/99160/Windows_7_to_be_Available_to_Businesses_Early.html
