Windows 7 for IT Pros:
Reduce Costs by Streamlining PC Management
The PC life cycle has a direct impact on costs, service levels, user productivity, and the ability to deliver business value. Organizations are constantly struggling to streamline all stages of the PC life cycle, including operating system and application deployment, ongoing management, and troubleshooting. In Windows 7, we’ve created desktop and application deployment tools that build on the advances made in Windows Vista, helping you more easily manage and deliver operating system images, provision drivers, and migrate user data and settings. Similarly, features such as Windows PowerShell 2.0, enhanced Group Policy, and the Windows Troubleshooting Platform help you better manage PCs and troubleshoot problems, so you can keep workers productive, reduce costs, maintain compliance, and improve operational efficiency. Windows 7 also includes several enhancements that make it easier for you to deploy virtual desktop infrastructures. Enterprises that want to further optimize PC life cycle management can take advantage of the advanced capabilities provided in the MDOP.
