Free Windows 7 guide
With all the initial problems Vista had when it launched, many Windows XP users elected to give it a miss altogether, and many Vista early adopters where loathe to make another leap of faith to a new OS once Vista finally made the grade with the release of Service Pack 3.
Fortunately for Microsoft, Windows 7 dodged the early problems of its predecessor. However, because of its many fundamental differences from Windows XP, many users of the older system wanting to leapfrog over Vista to Windows 7 face a reasonably steep learning curve finding their way around the new interface and features.
If you’re an XP user planning to upgrade to Windows 7, or you already have but are struggling to find your way around its unfamiliar interface and new features, MakeUseOf.com has a great free guide that will have you up and running with Windows’ latest operating system in no time at all.
And while current Vista users will be much more comfortable with the Windows 7 interface than XP users, they’ll find the guide valuable for the information it has on Windows 7′s brand new features.
The 50-page Windows 7 Guide: From Newbies to Pros comprises eight chapters that will take you through all the things you need to know to transition from XP or Vista with as little fuss as possible.
It’s available as a PDF download from here.
