As of right now, Microsoft has completed the plans for a Windows 7 overhaul. Although the official release date for the Microsoft’s new operating system is a few months in the offing (October 22), marketing execs at Microsoft thought it prudent to release the beta version of the upgrade software prior to the official launch. The move will allegedly bring in bulk orders prior to the official launch date, as well as boost excitement for the new OS.
The upgrade software, found at Microsoft’s TechNet site, is better known as MAP: Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit. Essentially, the tool gives anyone from a small business owner to a corporate network administrator the ability to determine and plan for system upgrades.
Although the toolkit is still in its beta version, a new version will come out soon. Microsoft has set hopes high for Windows 7, and the MAP toolkit should advance hopes and drive sales.
