Entrepreneur Gains Efficiencies, Grows Business With New Operating System

After years of trying to balance work and motherhood, Kari Smith left her corporate job behind and turned her passion for cake decorating into her own small business. Within ten years, her entrepreneurial skills have grown her business into Magical Moments and Elite Party Rentals, a full-fledged wedding planning and rental operation. As Smith's two businesses continued to flourish, she needed help managing them in a way that was more efficient and secure. Smith turned to the Windows Vista operating system, with the added protection of Windows Live OneCare and the 2007 Microsoft Office system to help her search, organize, and safeguard her customer information.
