A long-time technology evangelist and community instigator, Esther Schindler has been in the computer press since 1992. Her primary journalistic focus for the last decade has been software development and open source, and she’s contributed as writer or editor to Software Test & Performance, InformIT.com, DevSource.com, and dozens of other publications. She’s written market research analyst reports since 2002; she wrote four books (including one that actually paid out its advance) and had her hand in writing or editing another eight. Most recently, she spent two years as senior online editor at CIO.com, where her beat list included software development, open source, infrastructure, telecommuting, online community, and anything that tickled her fancy.
Esther has owned a computer store, optimized compilers, taught corporate classes about operating system internals, designed QA tests for Lotus Development (back when 1-2-3 ruled the earth) and in her first market-research career learned more about General Foods’ Frozen Pudding Pops than any human ought to know.

发行企业版的 Windows 7 决对会为大家带来好处，不过这也为信息技术经理们带来八年来没遇过的挑战。你准备好了吗？我们会在这里帮忙。
