Top 10 Reasons to Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server® 2008 R2 is the newest Windows Server operating system from Microsoft. Designed to help organizations reduce operating costs and increase efficiencies, Windows Server 2008 R2 provides enhanced management control over resources across the enterprise. It is designed to provide better energy efficiency and performance by reducing power consumption and lowering overhead costs. It also helps provide improved branch office capabilities, exciting new remote access experiences, streamlined server management, and expands the Microsoft virtualization strategy for both client and server computers.

Windows 7 App Compat
Application Compatibility for Microsoft has always been a primary area of focus because it has been something that our customers have valued.  Many developers and IT Pros are not familiar with new application compatibility strategies that enable Windows 2000/XP compatibility in modern Vista/Windows 7 environments.  Using a combination of virtualization and management technologies, IT Pros, developers, and end-users can have seamless access to all applications whether they require Windows XP or webapps that require IE6.  Technologies discussed include Terminal Services Gateway, Application Virtualization (App-V), Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V), Expression Web SuperPreview, and Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT).
