Windows NT USERS: BEWARE
Microsoft® has retired Windows NT Workstation support and in just
a few months support for Windows NT for Servers will be obsolete.
What does this mean to you? Microsoft will no longer be providing
any fixes or security enhancements for NT, leaving NT users vulnerable
to technical problems and viruses. If a new virus spreads that attacks
NT vulnerabilities, you will be left without protection.
To protect yourself, you need to upgrade NOW.
Migrating Your Desktops
Upgrade your desktops to the enhanced stability of Microsoft Windows®
XP Professional to make your business more productive and secure.
According to eTesting Labs, it’s at least 10 times more reliable than
Microsoft Windows 98, with the following improved features:
- Increase Productivity – An intuitive user interface increases usability
an average of 12 percent. And Windows XP Professional supports
Microsoft Office 2003 Editions – one of the latest advances in office
productivity.
- Increased stability – In a test against previous versions, Windows XP
Professional kept performing for 31 days without rebooting.
- Enhanced security – Your data will be safer with Windows XP
Professional. An encrypting file system helps protect your sensitive
information, while Windows Firewall helps guard against common
attacks, reducing IT costs and enhancing security of business systems.
Upgrade rebates up to $15,000
As an added incentive, Microsoft is offering a rebate of up to $15,000
when you upgrade your desktops to Windows XP Professional, depending
on your volume licensing agreement. Click here for more information
