Kampala — Companies, which will embrace Microsoft's new software will enjoy fast, cheap and increased productivity that comes with the latest operating system for efficiency.
Speaking at the launch, Microsoft general manager for East and South Africa Louis Otieno said unlike Vista and XP, Windows 7 can be used on small hardware even by starters without any technicalities involved.
Windows 7, which was launched in Kampala on Tuesday, comes about three years after the launch of Vista, whose complexity frustrated many home users and turned off business customers. "Windows 7 represents years of in-depth listening to our customers and partners around the globe and it is the most well-researched and well-planned Window released ever," said Mr Otieno.
Windows XP, which accounts for more than half of Microsoft's profits, has been on the market for more than a decade. "Windows 7 will not only make the PC more interesting but just simpler and faster for many," Otieno said. "The new software is faster than XP, stable, fast to resume from hibernation, has quicker boot times and better support than XP for USB devices."
Other software products launched included Microsoft Exchange server 2010 for easy and secure internal and external communications and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 that reduces the IT workload enabling innovativeness in companies.
Information and Communication Technology Minister Aggrey Awori said the software will provide the efficiency to foster economic growth in the country. "The software meets the demand of the 21st century and will synchronise government departments and the private sector to do business," he said.
