Microsoft’s Blain Barton interviews PowerShell MVP and IT Pro, Max Trinidad, about his work in rolling out Windows 7. Using virtualization with Hyper-V, Max got his Windows 7 virtual machines running in just a few minutes, and his management praised the O/S’ stability.

Max cites savings in the fact that Windows 7 installs cleanly and runs on three year old hardware running XP. He reports strong productivity using PowerShell and the IT Pro Momentum program. The program provides documentation and support resources for pre-release products.

I don't believe WIndows 7 can save you money. Say if you are buying latops for your department, the cost for each one is $1000. It actually include around $100 for Windows 7. If Microsoft can keep their support on XP, then it will save you some money.

If you really want to save money, you should be running Linux. I run Windows (flaws and all) because I need the following:

1) more user friendly interface

2) more available business software

3) games
