14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 7 is the buzz word this week, as the Redmond, Washington-based software giant is preparing to officially debut the much-anticipated OS. With the launch of the new OS, a number of PC vendors are rallying up their product portfolios to support Windows 7, which is the case with rugged PC-designer Getac. The company has recently announced no less than six new rugged products, all of which are compatible and will run on the much-anticipated OS.
“Working closely with Microsoft, we were able to voice the needs of our customers to ensure that our resistive Multi-touch function works hand-in-hand with their Windows 7 operating system. We have seen the excitement over the launch of Windows 7 increase exponentially and are excited to be a part of it right from the start,” said Jim Rimay, president of Getac Inc. “In addition, we continue to advance our technology with the introduction of the Getac V100, the industrial's first rugged laptop with resistive multi-touch panel. We will soon enable this feature to our full product line.”
According to Getac, the company has worked together with Microsoft so that its line of rugged products will provide customers with support for a full Windows 7 experience. The much anticipated OS, which is due out on October 22, will be made available on a range of Getac rugged products, including the A790, M230, V100, B300 and 9213. The company also announced that its rugged products would provide consumers with multi-touch support, while Microsoft's Windows 7 will enhance the Resistive Multi-Touch technology that has been recently introduced on the rugged laptops.
Windows 7 is scheduled to debut on October 22, two days from now, which is when Getac will provide its customers with the updated line of rugged notebooks and tablet PCs, boasting the much-anticipated OS. The updated line is expected to deliver an overall better performance, mainly thanks to the specific features that have been built inside the new OS.
