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.
