In September final yr, Microsoft released a “while supplies last” free 90-day trial of
Windows 7 that was targeted specifically at enterprise customers. I guess those supplies are holding out. On March 30, the company extended that free 90-day enterprise promotion through the end of 2010.In a post on the company;s Springboard Series blog, Microsoft officials said that “due to popular demand, the Windows Enterprise Trial program has been extended.” Interested parties now have until December 31,
Windows 7, 2010 to download and evaluate the
Windows 7 Enterprise trial version.The trial copy is a full working version of
Windows 7 Enterprise that does not require a product key (it;s embedded inside the download). Users have 10 days from the time they sign up to activate the product. If they don;t activate,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, the system will shut down once an hour until activated. After the 90-day period ends, the system will shut down once an hour until a user either purchases
Windows 7 (and performs a clean install of it, including drivers and applications,
Office Home And Student, or removes it from their system.

Windows 7 among U.S. consumers.Here;s a slide from the latter report, based on research conducted between December 22 and December 28,
