Moving from XP to Windows 7 gives you the strongest reason in history.

As you all know, this year Tech.ed 2009 of the most fire products than the new generation of the new operating system of October 23, Windows 7, Microsoft large and small, different positions in many occasions to encourage users to quickly move from the existing Windows XP platform to the new platform. However, many users are also thinking: Windows XP I spent 10 years, has been very stable, with what to migrate?

On the morning of November 6, Jin Hailong, the IT manager at Microsoft China Sales Headquarters, told the Microsoft IT operational best practices in Tech.ed, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that the economic environment has brought to it in the past year and sharing Microsoft's own IT management experience. He gives the strongest reason to migrate to Windows 7.

Jin Hailong First analyzed the time allocation and working life status of an IT manager:

Suppose you are an IT manager who manages 1000 machines, under the two soldiers, MRP, Helpdesk, it procurement hand in hand, so you 160 hours per month work time, plus 60 hours of private time, how to distribute it?

1.40% of the time spent on the business system (64 hours);

2.40% of the time in infrastructure maintenance (64 hours);

3.15% of the time spent dealing with trivia and spam (24 hours);

4.15% of the time spent writing reports and meetings (24 hours);

5.10% of the time used to respond to emergencies (16 hours);

6.5% of the time to respond to user complaints (8 hours);

7.5% of the time spent responding to the harassment of VIP users (8 hours);

8.5% of the time used to understand the new technology (8 hours);

9.% of the time spent on the development of their subordinates (0 hours);

10.% of the time spent on leave, private affairs (0 hours);

11.% of the time spent on personal career development (0 hours);

In practice, most of the IT operations staff's working status is indeed so, a lot of time in the act as "it firefighters", to maintain this, solve that, running around, is no time to learn new technology, engage in business innovation, less overtime is a luxury, let alone leave this wonderful. Jin Hailong believes that the deployment of Windows 7 can alleviate this situation to some extent, freeing it people from some of the tedious issues above. The main reasons include:

On the one hand the hardware is already very mature, running Windows 7 absolutely no problem. "I didn't dare to Blow Vista a year ago because it was very hard to deploy inside Microsoft, but Windows 7 was fine." "Maybe that's why Microsoft is advocating Windows 7 to simplify computers."

The second is that users really need new technology. He cites a security business example, the enterprise has 50% of end-users deployed abroad, need to use the company's business systems, messaging systems, and so on, but IT departments are difficult to manage these terminals, and is always plagued by a variety of security incidents, because Windows XP with the technology 10 years ago, You can't handle today's environment, and windows 7 can.

The third is by "I Install for you" to "I instruct you to install". Take Microsoft itself as an example, 120,000 Microsoft users to upgrade to the WINDOWS7 operating system, if what all the IT department, the light machine will be exhausted a group of, in fact Windows7 all the installation is automatically completed, through System Center revisit Manager 2007 SP2, instruct users to click on the upgrade before work, the next day to find has been switched to the WINDOWS7 system, and their personalized data and settings are fully retained.

Four is the reliability of Ascension, Jin Hailong joked, "In the end is not reliable, you used to know." ”

Five is the promotion of manageability, if the user is discrete, need to use AD, if you want to manage, need to use the Group Policy GPO, plus the deployment of Windows 7, the client can be very good management.
