New Generation of Microsoft Products.

In the coming year, the UWW campus will experience an influx of new software product offerings from Microsoft. These new products will provide a variety of enhancements to the software many of us use daily on our computers, as well as present significant changes in how these products look and how you use them. These new products include a new Microsoft operating system (Windows Vista), a new version of Microsoft Office (Office 2007) and a new version of Microsoft Exchange Mail/Calendar system.

iCIT is currently evaluating these products and learning about the environment they use. Vista and Office 2007 will be rolled out concurrently after completing analysis, planning and training campus users.

In the meantime, iCIT staff are working to identify old versions of operating systems and upgrading them to Windows XP in order to prepare for future upgrades.
