Forcing the closure means that you press the off button physical and although not recommended doing this (turning off the computer using the power menu instead), here is a way to solve this problem and make sure they won’t happen again.

Is Windows 7 Really Worth the Investment?

The concept of return on investment (ROI) dates back to the beginning of time and is perhaps best defined by Machiavelli in the phrase "the end justifies the means." As IT and users to prepare for the launch of Windows 7, the same cold calculation has to be done in a while, if not if, the move to Windows 7. The question is simple: Is my investment in the purchase, deployment, and training for Windows 7 to provide my business with a positive ROI?

In the current troubled economy, it is difficult to justify spending additional funds which may be just become eye candy improvements. The fact is, if your users are working well and has problems with its limited current XP or Vista environment (but be realistic - few companies have adopted this latest operating system), which is unlikely to achieve significant and measurable ROI in a change to Windows 7.

Note: There are credible tools and worksheets that can help you assess and quantify the costs and benefits of switching to Windows 7. One that I found to be very comprehensive and useful comes from research and consulting Hall. And when you're ready to make the transition to Windows 7, I encourage you to read my how-to guide InfoWorld Ready for Windows 7?

When Windows 7 ROI is likely to come from

Would you like silence at Windows 7 questions?

Since the release of Windows 7 is about many questions are emerging. Is this, like Microsoft Vista? Will it be stable? Why did Microsoft get it right this time? ... And the list goes on and on.

I wrote an article a few weeks ago after installing Windows 7 reports that I think is really the "Real Deal". They are still behind those words as the release date approaches. This is the most stable operating system I've used since Windows NT 4.0. I've been so close to zero problems with it since I installed the RTM version the day it was available.

Note that I am not the "normal" user or computer. I am a software engineer and use my computer for a living. They rarely turn off or restart my computer and I am taxed to the limit every day I'm working. I jumped on the train before Windows Vista and there were several issues to format my computer is Windows XP and put it back in it.

Not going back to XP, Vista or any other operating system now. Windows 7 has made a believer out of me and I will stand behind this operating system. The only, and I do mean only one issue I had with installation was a driver problem with my video card. I was able to quickly find the driver I needed, installed it and my sound has been working properly since.

I am also an avid gamer. Windows 7 gets up and offers in this area. It seems that Microsoft has paid little attention to memory management with this operating system too. I am able to run all my games in windowed mode and do not seem to impact performance at all.

I know that questions continue to accumulate in the release date nears, but I firmly believe that this operating system have met all the skeptics out there. I admit I was a little skeptical when I installed it, but has made a believer out of me and I think it'll make you one too.
