Hello everyone,
Fall is often seen as a change of seasons and a time of transition into a season of activity, projects and endless possibilities.  This month we have two articles that will help you become more productive when you are away from the office.  And with the upcoming release of Microsoft's newest PC Operating System, we have some information for you on WIndows 7.

Windows 7         
 
If you bought a pc through us, you have remained on the XP platform....However; many of you were burnt by Vista when you purchased your own business computers or purchased new home machines.  So, those of you who loath Vista may groan but, Microsoft's new operating system is scheduled to launch on Oct 22nd.  
 
Three years after Vista's release, Microsoft is releasing a new desktop operating system: Windows 7.  Otherwise known as "what Vista should have been". 
 
Windows 7 is said to be more reliable, with cool features and better performance. It boasts an intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface, including the enhanced Windows Taskbar, and offers new scripting and automation capabilities.

Do you ever find yourself at home or on the road without Microsoft Office?  With a free account at Google, you can use Google Docs online.  You can create a new document, spreadsheet, presentation, upload an existing document, and save it to you Google Docs account.  You can also email documents to yourself or to others if you want to share the document.  If you have the need to collaborate with other users, simply share your document, and those allowed to view your document, can also modify the doc.  

 

Google Docs accepts most popular file formats, including DOC, XLS, ODT, ODS, RTF, CSV, PPT, etc. This allows you to import and export your Google docs in these formats.

 

Sincerely,
Chris
