Is Your Operating System Up To Date? 
End of support for Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista RTM
If you haven't already upgraded to Windows 7, now is the time to do so. Microsoft support for the Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows 2000 operating systems will end July 13, 2010, and support for the Windows Vista Release to Manufacturing (RTM) operating system will end April 13, 2010.
 
Windows 7 iconA recent white paper released by Janco Associates reports that Windows 7 already has 12% of the OS market share less than seven months after its release. Janco CEO Victor Janulaitis said, "The last time that an OS was accepted as quickly the market was XP. Vista's market share has peaked and is in the process of being decommissioned in most enterprises."
 
Don't wait until support for your operating system is no longer available.
 
Trend Micro: Core Protection for Virtual Machines 
Designed specifically to secure VMware environments
Traditional security imported from the physical world cannot fully protect virtual environments which are particularly vulnerable when virtual machines are dormant or offline as they are unable to protect themselves with a virus scan agent and signature updates. To fully realize the cost and productivity advantages of virtualization, enterprises need content security that is architected specifically to secure today's highly virtualized environment.
 
Trend Micro logoTrend Micro's newest product enables enterprises to maximize the economic benefits of virtualization without compromising the security of their datacenter.
