2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign.
We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.
Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."
These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.
That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.
Windows 10 is to be released to the businesses, schools and organisations at the end of July 2015. AMD's cheif executive Lisa Su,accidentally reveal the date during questioning about the firm's guidance for the second quarter.
"With the Windows 10 launch at the end of July, we are watching the impact of that on the back-to-school season, and expect that it might have a bit of a delay to the normal back-to-school season inventory build-up," she said.
Microsoft may issue more information on the expected launch date at its Build conference next week in San Francisco.
Microsoft has already started preparing its user base for the arrival of Windows 10. Recently, a patch for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 was added with the ability to notify users when Windows 10 becomes available.
Windows 10 is already seen as a vastly improved operating systems, compared to Windows 8, as it moves away from the tile interface that failed to impress and returning to the more familiar desktop setup known to millions.
Microsoft hope that this interface will entice businesses and schools to upgrade or buy new systems, as the ancient Windows XP operating system still boasts a high user base, despite support for the platform ending over a year ago.
The Windows XP user base showed a market share of 16.94 percent at the end of March. This compares with 58 percent for Windows 7, which remains the most popular Microsoft operating system in use today.
What is notably, is that the Windows XP user base market share is actually higher than that of Windows 8.1 at 10.55 percent and Windows 8 at 3.52 percent. Even combining Windows 8 and 8.1, the overall Windows 8 user base is still lower than that of Windows XP.
