As well as all of the basic features included in the Windows 7 operating systems, Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate contains a host of upgrades that makes it the ultimate:

Multimedia Redirection: If your network is comprised of many machines, this feature will reduce bandwidth and help your system run at optimal speed. Receive files in their original, uncompressed form and decode them locally.

Federated Search: This gives your IT department the ability to create external databases that are searchable by users of the network using Internet Explorer.

BitLocker Drive Encryption: Advanced security to encrypt entire drives’ worth of data with 128-bit or 256-bit keys. Three authentication methods are available depending on user preference. Transparent Operation Mode allows encrypted files to be accessed when a user logs in to the system. User Authentication Mode allows the user to access the system via the use of a PIN or other proper credentials. USB Key Mode requires the user to have a USB to access the encrypted files.

BitLocker ToGo: Secure portable drives, like USB drives, with BitLocker.

Direct Access: Give employees direct access to the network from home with a company-specific intranet. Managing and updating is easy with a separate user interface.

37 Languages: Use different languages in certain programs, plus convert the operating system into another language with the relevant software.

AppLocker: Customize the apps you allow onto the system. Choose from which apps, all the way down to which publishers you allow running on your network.

BranchCache: Create branch-specific caches that make information available to all users, enhancing network responsiveness by removing unnecessary traffic between businesses and satellite branches.
