The Windows for Your Business blog continues to spotlight companies that have seen real-world benefits from deploying Windows 7. This time out, the focus is on four healthcare companies that have adopted the new OS.

Sinofi-avantis, for example, is a major pharmaceutical company with 100,000 employees. Here's what Darryl Corum, senior director of client engineering services, had to say about Windows 7:

I am convinced that the improved performance of Windows 7, combined with the higher performance of new solid-state disk drives, will drive productivity up and costs down. Startup and shutdown times are greatly reduced, performance penalties from data fragmentation have been eliminated, disk failure rates are expected to be reduced, and lower power consumption results in longer battery life in portable computers. This all contributes to an improved user experience. End users are excited at the increased responsiveness of their PCs.

This echoes something we've been saying for a long time: Users like it when you give them new and improved technology. It makes them happier and more productive.

So what are you waiting for? New Windows 7 laptops for everyone! Wooooo! (Yeah, we're excited it's the weekend--can you tell?)
