VT-Vincent Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 If you get a copy of Windows 7 for free and legally then you really can't complain about that, can you.People still do though! I don't know, some people are just sad. You have no idea... when I worked as a technician at Circuit City and they were offering free copies of Vista to every person buying an XP computer during the couple months leading up to the launch, just about all of them found something to bitch about. I just loved some of the conversations... Customer: So I can just go home and pop this 'ere Vister thing right in and it will all work?Me: There's a little more to it - you want to make sure all of your software will be compatible with Vista and download all of the Vista drivers before installing the operating system. If you're not technically inclined, you may also want to do some research into the process of installing an operating system or consider having us install it for you here. Customer: Duh... how much is it if yinz do it for me? Me: It is a flat-rate fee of $119.99 and an additional $59.99 if you would like us to back your files up beforehand. Customer: WHAT THE F***!!! I GOTS TO PAY YINZ 200 BUCKS TO MAKE MY COMPUTER WORK? Me: No Sir, your computer is working fine now and will continue to do so on Windows XP. You are also welcome to perform the upgrade yourself if you feel so inclined. Customer: Duh... so if I dun need it, why'd they send it to me? What the f*** am I supposed to do with it!? Me: *Grumbles to self*... I have a few suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beulahkilborn781 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hey I use that..It is just awesome..This things are new as per my experience: You might want to check out our article about Windows 7 which has all the information you need to download the beta of the new Microsoft operating system. If you are not convinced yet that this is a good idea read on; You might be surprised: 1. Opening multiple Instances of the same program Want to open multiple instances of the same program? Maybe a second command prompt or another application that can be opened in multiple instances? Instead of opening the program again the usual way you can simply press the SHIFT key and left-click on the first instance in the Windows Taskbar to open a second one. 2. Problem Steps Recorder If you ever had to do phone support you know how hard it can be to understand what the user on the other end of the phone did and wants. The Problem Steps Recorder is a sweet little tool in Windows 7 that can be used by the user to record his steps. All that the user needs to do is start the recorder by entering psr in the Start Menu box and click on Start Record in the program interface. Screenshots will be taken from user actions. It is possible to add comments at any time if the user feels so. The whole recording will be saved as a zip file containing a slideshow of the actions. 3. Pin Favorite Folders Want to add a favorite folders to Windows Explorer to be able to access them faster? Just drag and drop the folder to the favorites menu. It will remain there until you delete it with the delete key again. 4. Moving Windows and such Windows 7 introduces several new keyboard shortcuts for window management. Some useful ones are: * [Windows Shift Left Arrow] or [Windows Shift Right Arrow] to move windows from one computer monitor to another. * [Windows Left Arrow] or [Windows Right Arrow] to dock windows to the left or right side * [Windows Up Arrow] to maximize a window * [Windows Down Arrow] to restore or minimize windows * [Windows Home] to minimize all windows but the active one 5. Shortcuts to start pinned taskbar items Pressing [Win Number] will start a new instance of a pinned taskbar item. You should also note that the items can be dragged and dropped into different positions easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
