The Future Begins. 7 reasons you want a Velocity Micro PC with a Free Windows 7 Upgrade<\/b><\/p>\n

The wait is over. Starting today, all Velocity Micro PCs with Windows Vista ordered on VelocityMicro.com or purchased from a certified retailer will receive a coupon for a FREE upgrade to Windows 7 upon its official release.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s free, as in zero dollars. The cost of a sunny day. Free.<\/p>\n

And simply put, Windows 7 is quite honestly the best version of Windows I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 reasons you want a Velocity Micro PC with a Free Windows 7 Upgrade:<\/b><\/p>\n

Increased Speed and Reliability<\/b> \u2013 Thanks to an improved internal infrastructure, Windows 7 sleeps and resumes faster, is less power hungry, and recognizes USB devices quicker.<\/p>\n

Improved Windows Search <\/b>\u2013 Shouldn\u2019t searching for a file on your home PC be just as easy (if not easier) than searching the web? Now, at long last, it is.<\/p>\n

XP Mode <\/b>\u2013 This is really cool. For those of you that have put off upgrading your business machines due to compatibility fears, Windows 7 offers a virtual copy of XP SP3 which allows you to run practically any application compatible with XP, right on your Windows 7 PC. XP Mode is included in Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried it here at the office with SAP \u2013 works great!<\/p>\n

Increased security <\/b>\u2013 The internet is a scary place sometimes. Protect your vital information and critical data with the enhanced security features that Windows 7 provides.<\/p>\n

Media Management <\/b>\u2013 With Windows Live Essentials and Media Center, Windows 7 makes it easier to organize, edit, and enjoy your video and photo collection.<\/p>\n

Touch Screen <\/b>\u2013 Let\u2019s be honest. Having a touch screen monitor is really awesome. With Windows 7 enhanced touch screen compatibility, you\u2019ll navigate easier, even without a mouse and keyboard. (Additional hardware required of course \u2013 and fingers.)<\/p>\n

HomeGroup <\/b>\u2013 Anyone who\u2019s ever set up a home network knows what a hassle it can be. Windows 7 HomeGroup takes the headache out of home networking, making sharing files and printers simple and easy.<\/p>\n
