Try Windows 7 FREE for 30 Days

Posted in: News by admin on February 26, 2010 | No Comments

By now you’ve heard all about Windows 7. Hopefully you were able to come to our seminar and learn some of the cool new features and tricks. Now, you’re ready to give it a try. 

As your technology partner, we would like to make that as simple and easy as possible. We’ve just started a program to allow our customers to try Windows 7 FREE for 30 days. We have several new Windows 7 PC’s ready for you to try out. We believe it’s absolutely vital to ensure all your software programs work with Microsoft’s new operating system. We also want you to become comfortable before you make the jump and incorporate Windows 7 into your network. 

If you’re interested in trying Windows 7 please register below. We’ll make sure to save you a computer and call to schedule a time to come by and install it for you (at no charge!).

Remember, you will NOT be able to stay on Windows XP forever. Most of us decided to skip Windows Vista but we won’t be able to skip Windows 7. We strongly recommend trying Windows 7 now and testing it your software applications.

** What happens after the 30 days?  If you decide you’re ready to purchase a Windows 7 computer you can purchase the computer that’s at your business for 15% off! In addition, we’ll give you a certificate for a Windows 7 training seminar we are presenting in April.

If you decide not to purchase the Windows 7 computer we will simply come pick it up.
