We've told you all about Sheraton Hotels Link@Sheraton offerings in their hotel lobbies, where guests can surf the web, check their email, engage in webchats and Facebook/Twitter their latest inane thoughts, all for free. These things don't sound super innovative, especially since so many of us can do that from our iPhones, Blackberries and Sidekicks but there is a special perk coming soon for Sheraton guests at Link@Sheraton.
It was announced today that Windows 7, Microsoft's new operating system, will be showcased on HP's next-generation, touch-enabled PCs at select Sheraton properties before Windows 7's official launch.
Sheraton has deployed Windows 7 in its “Link@SheratonSM experienced with Microsoft®,” a unique lobby lounge that enables guests to stay connected using Windows-based computers that feature Microsoft Office, Bing, Microsoft’s new decision engine, Bing Maps, Internet access and Microsoft LifeCam webcams for emailing video postcards. Windows 7 will be available at more than 50 hotels in North America before its official public launch, including Sheraton New York, Sheraton Seattle, Sheraton Boston, Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, Sheraton Toronto, Sheraton Vancouver and the Sheraton Phoenix.
The touch-enabled computers which are 22-inch HP Business TouchSmart will be available at 22 Sheraton properties only. These computers work exactly like they sound--tap the screen to navigate the web, open documents and browse photos. Pretty cool, but we're still partial to our Hotel iMacs. What can we say? Sheraton's a PC and we're a Mac.
Played with Windows 7 at Link@Sheraton recently? Let us know how it went.
