Windows 7 Features and Improvements

Windows 7 is set to feature improvements to the following areas: 

• Migration & Deployment
• Security Optimization
• Desktop Management
• Enterprise Search
• Desktop Virtualisation
• Application Virtualisation
• HelpDesk Optimization
• Corporate Compliance
• Branch Office Optimization
• Remote Access to Corporate Applications
• Mobility Solutions
• Green Computing

Some of these are already big topics of interest such as Desktop Virtualization, Mobility, Green IT etc and I think significant improvements to these areas (or in fact any of the above) could well lead to great adoption of Windows 7.

A couple of suggestions I made were to include some of the Enterprise CAL functionality from certain products in the WIndows 7 Enterprise SKU. So potentially having Windows 7 Enterprise would give you the Enterprice CAL functionality for OCS for example..

I also think that rolling VECD (Centralized Desktops) into either MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack) or Windows 7 Enterprise. Let’s see if that happens in the final version 😉
