ZeeBORN on Windows 7
With the official launch today Windows 7 is now available worldwide to everybody who wants to use it.If you plan to buy your new PCs with Windows 7 or just want to upgrade your existing machines to the newest operating system available from Microsoft, go on. ZeeBORN newest releases are already supporting Windows 7 from day one on.
And just in case you want to hear our opinion about Windows 7: Go, get it. Until now there have been many good reasons for still using Windows XP. But in terms of stability, security and speed Windows 7 brings now all the advantages compared to Windows XP that have been promised with the introduction of Windows Vista. We have already upgraded most of our PCs and laptops with Windows 7 - the ones that still run XP or Vista have been kept for compatibility tests only. Of course we will continue the support of XP and Vista as long as required.

ZeeBORN Updates; Demo Server Extended
Please find in the Products section of our web site the updated descriptions of the single solutions within our ZeeBORN Fleet Management solution.As the huge number of new features and improvements would exceed the number of text lines a typical visitor would read, we have extended the number of available demo accounts on our demo server. This demo server allows you to see the full software in action and you can access it from any computer with Internet access without installing additional software on your own computer. For further details about our demo server and how to get access to it, please read the article ZeeBORN Demo Server.
Existing customers can use our demo server as well to see the newest software releases but also daily builds, prototypes and concepts long before release - maybe a good opportunity to check if the ever wanted feature has been implemented - and to send us a friendly reminder if this feature is still missing.

Shore based users of ZeeBORN Management Software may access fleet information through Windows Terminal Services/Citrix. ZeeBORN recently partnered with JaeMaCom company to allow office and remote users to making fleet management information more readily available. See our partner at www.jaemacom.de.Ship based users of ZeeBORN Management Software may in future access ship management information through a Local Area Network (LAN) using dedicated ZeeBORN terminals on-board to record and retrieve ship, crew, financial and maintenance information. The advantage of using dedicated terminals is to prevent data loss, increase data security & privacy and increase the number of locations on-board providing ZeeBORN management information.
