Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise trial program extended
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft extends its Windows 7 Enterprise Trial program until the end of 2010, allowing IT professionals a 90-day trial of Windows 7 Enterprise Edition. While Microsoft says the extension is due to popular demand, recent statements by the company suggest that Windows 7 is not being adopted by businesses in the same way as by consumers. Altogether, Microsoft says, it has sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 since the operating system launched in October 2009.
Microsoft has extended its Windows 7 Enterprise Trial program to Dec. 31, 2010. While an official blog post says the extension was "due to popular demand," recent executive comments suggest that Windows 7 is experiencing slowed uptake among enterprises and small and midsize businesses.
