I have a friend who sent me an email last night, asking what was a good tutorial, manual or book to get for users of Windows 7? I really didn’t have an answer since I haven’t bought any reference books in a decade for Windows. I did recall that the Simplified series were great for [...]

Can We Accurately Compare XP, Vista and Windows 7 When It Comes To Performance? One writer over at the ExtremeTech web site did what I believe is an accurate, as possible, comparison of the three operating systems.

Yesterday, November 11, 2009, many of the news services were reporting on an interview with Microsoft partner group manager, Simon Aldous. The article, which has been quoted around the Internet, is titled ‘Microsoft’s New Vision.’ Microsoft claims that the statement is being misquoted by the Apple fanboy sites that seem to be enjoying themselves at [...]

As technology writers, bloggers and just about everyone who is interested in computers write all about the new operating system from Microsoft known as Windows 7, we fail to remember that good old reliable Windows XP still is the operating system of choice.
