"My laptop battery has never lasted the whole train trip to Brussels before. I either have to put in a new battery partway through the trip or stop working. The power management feature in Windows 7 changed that. Its miserly use of power got me to Brussels on one charge. Amazing!"

Microsoft Volume Licensing solutions provide the most flexible, cost effective way to give your organization access to the latest Windows desktop technologies.
Qualifying for volume licensing
Windows licenses available through Volume Licensing are upgrade-only licenses
They do not replace purchasing the initial Windows licenses for software that comes pre-installed on new PCs. Each desktop that runs the Windows 7 upgrade must first be licensed to run one of the qualifying operating systems—otherwise the PC will not have a valid, legal Windows license.
Compare different volume licensing programs to see which one is right for you
Microsoft Volume Licensing programs offer businesses of all sizes a great way to obtain and manage multiple software licenses—for as few as five desktops. Contact your Microsoft worldwide partner channel or local reseller and ask for current volume licensing offers available in your region.
