Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack

PERFORMANCE & STABILITY
One of the welcome enhancements Microsoft made was start-up time. The shutdown time has been improved as well. Also, in my non-benchmarked experience, Windows 7 has been at least as fast as XP if not faster. The kernel changes and ability to run the 64-bit version probably has a lot to do with that. Most benchmarks from around the Internet seem to support my observations.

64-BIT
I am elated to finally upgrade to a 64-bit operating system in order to take advantage of more memory support and modern processors. I have Intel Core 2 Duo processors in both my systems with 4GB of physical RAM but XP only allowed 3.25GB for system use. (more…)

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

Windows 7 comes with two disks, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit. You can choose which one you want to use based upon your devices, and your needs.
If you are upgrading from another version of Windows, you can’t change unless you do a fresh install.

If your computer supports 64 bit and you aren’t using extremely old software, I would suggest going to 64 bit if you are doing a new install anyway. It will still run 32 bit programs, and you will may benefit from the 64 bit version.

You might consider adding some memory as well if you want since you can use more than 4GB memory with the 64 bit version. If you are using an older computer with minimal memory anyway, I would just stick with the 32 bit version. (more…)

Learn about and experience exciting new Windows 7 features

Jump Lists—new in Windows 7—take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You’ll also find them on the Start menu.)

What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can “pin” whatever files you like there. (more…)

Office 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies

Office 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference For DummiesThe Ribbon is, of course, the result of many hours of definition, testing before audiences and of course a lot of programming effort. There’s the old saying that ‘user friendly is programmer difficult.’ The ribbon is a common interface that is used in all of the Office applications, so learning about it is mandatory for using Office 2007.

Of course there are an awful lot of new features added to each of the applications. It’s easier to get a ‘Live Preview’ of what you are doing in word. It’s easier to do Pivot Tables in Excel, and so on. These applications have been around so long that they are not getting big massive upgrades. I frankly don’t know what more they could add. ==Of course this is a ‘For Dummies’ book. This means that the writing is good, the proof reading catches all the mispellings, and there’s even a bit of humor.
