Retalix today announced that it will integrate Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system with its retail and supply chain software.
"Windows 7 offers the latest operating system tools from Microsoft, and will help further enhance our software offerings for retailers and distributors," said Reuben Halevi, president, Global Supply Chain Division at Retalix. "The new system will be seamlessly integrated into our solutions, and will help give our clients increased productivity and operational efficiency."
Windows 7 capabilities and features include:
- Multitouch operation with Windows Touch allows users to control the device by touching the screen, while receiving visual feedback for touch and multitouch gestures (available with Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems and Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems).
- Enterprise connectivity enabled by Microsoft DirectAccess and BranchCache provides a more secure and flexible network infrastructure to remotely update device application data (available with Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems).
- Legacy support through Windows XP Mode provides a virtual Windows XP environment in which OEMs can run existing Windows XP applications on a Windows 7-based device (available with Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems and Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems).
