In Redmond on Tuesday, Microsoft operating system chief Terry Myerson announced that current users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free for one year after the operating system launches. Once you’ve claimed the upgrade, Microsoft will keep you updated for the supported lifetime of the device. “We think of Windows 10 as a service,” Myerson said. This excludes Enterprise versions. You’ll need Software assurance to get that upgrade. Your existing OS will need to be updated to the latest Service Pack , and connected to the Internet to get the free upgrade. This should hopefully weed out the many illegal products out there in the wild. The free upgrade will be available for 1 year. We have been testing Windows 10 for a while and I think it has just the right mix of all the good windows 8 features without loosing our familiar windows 7 habits. The start bar is better than ever and you can have lots of different desktops. A good article: http://www.cnet.com/au/products/microsoft-windows-10/ Enjoy,...

An URGENT Security Warning For Businesses Running Windows XP Or Office 2003   If your organization is currently running either Windows XP, Office 2003 and / or Server 2003 R2 on one or more computers in your office, you need to know about a dangerous security threat to your organization that must be addressed within the next 2 months.  This means that from the 9th of April 2014 Microsoft will not release new patches to stop any new vulnerabilities creating havoc. There has been 115 updates so far. Please take a moment to read this important announcement.   As your local Microsoft Certified Partner, we are aggressively reaching out to all businesses within the Port Vila area that use Windows XP and Office 2003 to alert you of this serious security risk to your organization and inform you about what you need to do now to protect your company. XP And Office 2003 Changes Must Be Made By April 8, 2014 Microsoft has officially announced that it will retire support on the XP operating system and Office 2003 software suite on April 8, 2014. That means any computer with these software programs installed will be completely exposed to serious hacker attacks aimed at taking control of your network, stealing data, crashing your system and inflicting a host of other business-crippling problems you do NOT want to have to deal with.                 This is such a serious threat that all companies housing financial and confidential client information should upgrade any and all computer systems running XP or Office 2003 because firewalls and anti-virus software will NOT be sufficient to completely protect them (or you). If you have old applications requiring Windows XP and or Server 2003 we might be able to virtualize your XP installation within your new desktop running windows 7 or 8. That way you’ll have a bit more time to upgrade your applications. At no cost, we’ll come to your office and conduct our proprietary Risk Assessment to not only determine what specific computers will be affected by this announcement, but also to assess other security, backup and efficiency factors that could be costing you in productivity and Vatus.  We can put together a customized Migration Plan for your office. If you decide to purchase new Xnet computer (The only computers in Port Vila with a next day repair guarantee warranty for 1 year  or we replace the unit ) we will move your data (not applications) for free. Please do not hesitate to call on 35777 or email us for an obligation free...
