If you are in the Bellevue, WA area and have time for a free lunch on December 9 or 10, 2009. Drop me an email: james@ace2100.com
I will be teaming with Comcast and having a presentation on Windows 7:Upgrade the Desktop...things you need to know as a business professional. Remember that Windows XP was released in October 2001 - eight years ago last month! It has served us well, but new technology is right around the corner and you will need Windows 7 to make it run fast on new systems.
Come get some education and a free lunch.

New Versions, New Releases, New Software
It appears that now that summer is over, all of the programmers are back to work and on target to release new products, intermediate version releases and whole new operating systems. There is a lot of exciting news to release and I will have a major post at the end of the month.
One new thing that you may have heard about is the new Windows release of the operating system that will replace Vista called 'Windows 7'. It is on target and committed for October 22 to be released to the public. There is a lot of excitement and apprehension all tied together in this upgrade. In addition to the Windows Desktop Update there is a Server Update and very shortly after that a new version of MS Office (Office 2010) that is just on its heels. Microsoft is working very hard to release some new products that will increase worker productivity. I just got a first glimpse demo at the Microsoft campus yesterday by the product manager. It looks good!
Fall 2009, even though we are in tough economic times, looks to be a very busy time in the computer world.
Let ACE help you navigate these new changes and make cost effective implementations of new technology as it makes sense for your business. Please call or email me any quesitons.

Changes with AVG AntiVirus in March 2009
As your computer support professional, I keep track of important software that I recommend and install for all my clients. My preferred anti-virus solution has been and still is AVG Anti-Virus. In the transition from 2008 to 2009 AVG has been working very hard to stay ahead of all of the "bad guys" by releasing lots of patches and updates. (Transition from 7.5 to 8.0 and now 8.0 to 8.5). Some of these transitions have been smooth but some have required multiple reboots to upgrade properly.
Anti-virus protection is a critical component to be managed on your computers. Fast and efficient systems yield better service and more satisfied customers.
News from AVG: Version 7.5 Discontinued.
Support for the AVG 7.5 Free product will end February 25, 2009.
Only Extension: Full support for all paid AVG 7.5 products has been extended until April 30, 2009. This support covers all home and business solutions (except AVG Anti-Spyware) and includes all updates and 24/7 technical and sales support.
All ACE business customers should be using the paid version at the office and on office PC's and laptops. Those legally using the free version on home PC's and laptops will need to upgrade.
AVG Version 8.5 to release March 2, 2009.
My reason in alerting you to this update is to make sure you are aware of the upgrade that will be coming and schedule some time to make an orderly transition at your business. Give me a call if you have any questions or would like to schedule some upgrade time. As always with AVG...they do support older versions for many months after releases of new versions. To get a trial of the new version contact me and get a new free license key which I will convert for you from your original active license
