Windows 7 and Local Government - Friday Feb. 12, 1:30 pm at LGC In Concord

Windows 7 debuted in October of 2009 to praise from the IT world. Still we find ourselves asking, “What will be the impact of Windows 7 technologies on local government IT?”  To answer that question, NHLoGIN and Microsoft are teaming up to provide members and interested local government IT professionals an opportunity to learn more about Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Join us on February 12th, 2010 at 1:30 PM at the Local Government Center in Concord, NH.  Leslie Tan, Senior Technology Strategist from Microsoft, will be on hand to discuss what Microsoft is doing to increase the productivity, manageability and security of their new products as well as to answer your questions.  Click for agenda and presentation details.

Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to aschaffer at manchesternh.gov by February 5th.
