We came across an interesting article today over at Information Week.
They suggest that Windows 7 has the ability to heal itself through a feature called the “Windows Action Center”.
I’ve been using Win 7 for over 4 months now and have found that the software will often install the correct, updated drivers over the internet without requiring the manufacturer’s drivers disk. However, if the customer manually installs an incorrect driver for speakers or a printer, “the Windows Action Center can alert you, diagnose the problem and point you to the correct fix , of fix the problem itself,” said Brownwell.”These troubleshooters can diagnose and solve the most common problems reported by Windows users, including set-up and compatibility issues, hardware defects, and the like” said Microsof’ts Lori Brownwell, in a blog post.
Microsoft formally launched Windows 7 last week. The full version of Windows 7 Professional is $299, with upgrades going for $199. Windows 7 Ultimate is priced at $319, with the upgrade version at $219. The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at $199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119.
