After already having announced in September 2009 that the PADS Digital Signage software was Windows 7 compatible, Net Display Systems, a Microsoft Gold Partner, has now received the official Window 7 Certified logo for its Digital Signage software.
 
“Unlike Windows Vista the feedback from the market on Windows 7 is very positive. The expectation is that many of our customers will switch from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7 in the near future”, says Arthur Damen, product manager at Net Display Systems.
 
“Microsoft has tested the latest versions of PADS Professional and PADS Standalone with Windows 7 and the results have been even better than expected. Windows Vista already made better use of the graphical features of Windows (WPF), but Windows 7 really gets the most out of the award winning PADS software. Practice based evidence proved that with the same hardware Windows 7 has a much lower CPU usage and significant better graphical performance compared to previous Windows versions”.
 
This is for instance visible in the playback of high definition videos. Based on these results Net Display Systems recommends Windows 7 as the preferred platform for PADS 3.1 Professional SR1 and PADS 3.1 Standalone SR1.1. Also the first tests with Windows 7 embedded have been very promising.
