And the Windows 7 Beat goes on...

Here's a few things happening with Windows 7: It is more and more compatible with printers, and most software. I even installed a 10 year old game on one computer and a DOS program on another, and both worked! Magentic, a free wallpaper and screensaver program from Incredimail, is a killer for Windows 7. Turns the ...screen white and you can't do anything with it. Magentic works great with Windows XP, though.

The biggest obstacle for my clients is the lack of an email program like Windows Mail or Outlook Express. If you can bring yourself to work with a webmail program like gmail or some other choice, you'll save yourself some trauma when your turn comes to upgrade to the Windows 7 operating system.

Internet Explorer 8 still has a few problems, especially for yahoo mail users. Download Firefox for an alternative browser, but still use Internet Explorer for most websites. Firefox just mutilates my websites, and they show up great with Internet Explorer, so I'm still cheering for Microsoft to fix their problems. Windows 7 is the bomb, it's more intuitive like the Mac Snow Leopard operating software, and so much more memory efficient; Windows 7 is far easier for Windows XP users to convert to, but be patient, and it will feel like home soon.

Until next time...
