Product Tip of
the Month |
Windows 7 |
|
="73">
The new version of windows being released October 22, 2009 |
Why all the hype? |
|
|
|
Is this another Vista? |

|
|
Why should I bother? |
We met recently with the Windows 7 team at
Microsoft's Redmond headquarters. The team left the
meeting with ear to ear smiles, why? Because all of us
in the room gave them thumbs up for Windows 7. Because
we are geeks, we get the early release of many new and
upcoming products. Many times we actually participate
in beta testing of these products too which gives us a deep
insight of how these products start and finish. This
news letter, along with at least the last six were produced
on a Windows 7 system. Why do we like it?
Simple, it works and very well at that.
Sleep mode actually works! Scary but if you shut down
your laptop at the office, travel home and open it again it
will be connected to your WIFI access before your able to be
typing. WIFI setup is also extremely much easier to
setup on Windows 7.
Is this another VISTA? Defiantly not. It is
however still built using the same core as Vista is built
on, just this time, it was built correctly putting it in
simple terms.
Why should I bother? It's faster than Vista, it has
some features that XP can't touch and will defiantly replace
XP easier than most think. For those programs that
just won't work for some reason, Microsoft has added a
virtual xp to the installation to allow you to just keep
working.
Can I upgrade? Yes and No.
Vista > Windows 7: Yes with some exceptions
XP > Windows 7: NO
Our recommend been
hiding, causing problems. Think of garbage in /
garbage out. If something has problems, upgrading
usually never resolves issues when it comes to operating
systems. Yes even Mac's can have this same problem as
we just had one of those situations on our bench.

This is a repeat but
this author has used this so much this past month, so we
thought we would share it again. You just deleted
something...made a change or something that as soon as
you did it, your mind slapped you and a frown instantly
appeared. At this point, STOP, don't drop and roll
though. Simply press CTRL + Z to "undo" what you
just did. It's that simple. |
