This month’s “Business Essentials” meeting, sponsored by the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce, will take a close look at the new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
The meeting will begin on Tuesday, March 16 at 7:45 a.m. with coffee; followed by an 8 to 9:15 a.m. presentation at the Victorian Room at the Outlook Inn.
Robert Folkes from Northwest Computer & Network Solutions will preview the new PC operating system. Chamber Executive Director Lance Evans says, “By all accounts, Microsoft hit a home run with Windows 7. This presentation (with sponsorship by Microsoft), will provide Windows users with insights into a vastly changed operating system.”
Attendance at the meeting is $10 for non-Chamber members. All in attendance will receive a $150 voucher towards a volume (5 or more computers) licensing purchase of Windows 7 .
Microsoft will be providing door prizes to the Orcas Chamber of Commerce as a way to say ‘thank you’ for attending. Chamber members in attendance will be eligible to win one of the following door prizes:
- A Microsoft web camera
- X-Box games
- A wireless Microsoft Mouse
- 1 copy of Microsoft Visio
- 1 copy of Microsoft Office 2007 Pro
