Microsoft Corp. today officially launched its Windows 7 operating system to the masses. Just in time for the operating system's arrival, Microsoft launched its Windows 7 Compatibility Center, where advisers can check whether their office computer hardware and peripherals, as well as their software, are compatible with the operating system. There were 22 pages' worth of compatibility results representing some 212 programs in the “Business & Home Office: Tax & Finance” category alone. The results vary greatly, however, with some products deemed compatible, others still being evaluated. For more information, see our recent in-depth INTech newsletter on the subject of Windows 7. Interested advisers will find a special question-and-answer section that should address many concerns. There is also a link to a download of Microsoft's PC analysis tool, which lets you know whether your equipment can run the new operating system.
