Richard Warren, chief software architect at Internosis, a nationally recognized Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Enterprise Systems and eCommerce, and Mark Hassall, Microsoft's lead product manager for Windows XP, help answer questions IT executives might have about the Windows XP operating system. Lead presenter Warren runs through the key new enterprise features Microsoft has wrapped into Windows XP, and talks about the Windows road map: where Microsoft is taking the business desktop for the foreseeable future and what that means for the service life of XP Professional. He also pulls together the return on investment picture for Windows XP, to help you get a clear understanding of whether or not Windows XP makes sense for you. Hassall discusses the Windows road map, licensing, and return-on-investment issues from Microsoft's perspective.
For viewers of the CD and online versions, this program provides a selection of Web links, including articles such as 'Connect With Your Users Via Windows XP Remote Assistance,' from CNET Asia, which explains how Windows XP features can reduce cost and increase productivity across the enterprise. The program also includes white papers, such as 'Windows 2000 vs. Windows XP Deployment Considerations,' which discusses benefits of - and caveats when - deploying Windows XP across the organization.
