Exploring Windows 7: Why
the Change?
Windows 7 is coming to your desktop, and we’ll investigate the
features of Microsoft’s new operating system. We’ll take a look at
new features, and how these new features help us manage documents
and files more easily than in Windows XP. Microsoft built new tools
into the operating system, and we’ll examine these new tools to see
how they provide additional benefits. Finally, we’ll discuss the
status of the Windows 7 roll-out at JCCC. |
