Windows 7 - Hype or Delight?

Presented by Capital Community College Professor, Michael Ligon

After Microsoft rolled out Windows Vista to much fanfare, users started complaining about performance problems, memory issues, and more. It was a great glittering hope that fizzled under the light of day. Now Microsoft has spent much time working out many of the bugs while incorporating many of the good features about Vista and rolled it all into the newest operating system, Windows 7. Now Microsoft has the arduous task of convincing the public that, unlike past track record, this operating system is solid. Is it? Can they convince people to upgrade after the problems with Vista?

Come to our February 15th meeting where we will have Michael Ligon from Capital Community College review all that Microsoft has to offer in this new operating system. We will learn about the good and the bad in this new package. We will find out whether it makes sense to upgrade our current computer to the latest or to stay with what we have. You won't want to miss this informative meeting. Networking and refreshments will be available at the end of the meeting.

February Tip:

Remember that just because you have an antivirus program running on your computer doesn't mean you are protected. Make sure the subscription to it is active and that it is being updated at least once a day to keep you safe.
