Coming soon to a computer near you: Windows 7 Published Nov. 16, 2010 By Monica Mendoza 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Move over Vista, there is a new operating system coming to Peterson Air Force Base. The switch to the new Windows 7 operating system is expected to begin in December and should bring cheers from those who found Microsoft's Vista to be cumbersome and clunky. Early tests of Windows 7 on Schriever Air Force Base show the new system runs faster and is more user-friendly, said 1st Lt. Adam Scheuer, 561st Network Operations Squadron chief of weapons and tactics. More importantly, the new computer operating system adds a new layer of security to the Air Force's information network while bringing the computer operating system up to industry standards. Plans are underway to begin the changeover in December in what is hoped will be a seamless transition. All Peterson Client Support Administrators will meet in two upcoming sessions: 2 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Peterson auditorium and 2 p.m. Nov. 30 in the Building 1 auditorium. "It is a seamless process," Lieutenant Scheuer said. "As an end user, the way it should work is you go home one night, and the next day when you come in, your computer will be updated." More information will be available as the launch date gets closer.
