Windows 7 to be released SOON!

Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon during a MIcrosoft-sponsored contest, a brand new laptop computer was given to an audience member and announced it contained Windows 7!

You would not otherwise be seeing Windows 7 advertised on a computer unless of course it was finalized and ready! This indicates that Windows 7 will be released to the public out soon, and Microsoft seems to have officially kept the name as "Windows 7."

According to a few news websites, Windows 7 OEM versions will begin shipping with new computers as soon as next month, only a few weeks away.  Retail and upgrade versions Microsoft has announced that the general availability will be October 22, 2009.

We are urging our customers that are running XP to continue with their existing operating system and not take the plunge in upgrading to Windows 7 right away. This is mainly because you may be required to upgrade or replace many of your other 3rd party applications and utilities to be compatible with the Windows 7 system.  Microsoft does have an "XP Compatibility" mode that may help to alleviate this problem, but I have not yet seen how well this feature works, nor have I read that it promises a 100% compatibility guarantee. We will be testing this capability over the next few weeks.

To anyone that got stuck running Vista and is disatisfied, upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as you can as your software for Vista have a better compatibility with Windows 7. 

If you own a CyberSmart! branded computer with adequare hardware and wish to upgrade to Windows 7, the labor to upgrade is FREE!  You ony pay for the software!  This is one of the many perks of owning a CyberSmart! computer, we'll even back up your data and restore it onto your freshly loaded Windows 7 system!

No matter which path you choose to take CyberSmart! can help you with the upgrade process after the software is released to the masses.
