Windows 7 | Comments Off on How To Quickly Enable or Disable The Wireless Radio in Windows 7 | February 9th, 2009

Hello Everyone,
As a low-vision individual, in order to access Microsoft Windows PC Notebook and Netbook computers I use a screen reading/refreshable Braille software solution, developed by Freedom Scientific, call JAWS (Job Access with Speech).
Recently, upon purchasing an Acer Aspire One Windows XP Home Edition Netbook, I immediately wiped the 160GB disk drive clean and installed Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows Beta 7. Read the rest of this entry »

General | Comments Off on Which Version of Microsoft Windows 7 Is Right For You | February 4th, 2009
Hello Everyone,Â
Microsoft has released remarkably detailed information about the new versions of its latest Windows 7 operating system.Â
[BEGIN EXCERPT]
MICROSOFT OUTLINES WINDOWS 7 SKUS; TARGETS NETBOOKS
Microsoft has officially announced the five versions of Windows 7 it will sell at launch within the United States, together with a version specifically designed for low-cost netbooks.
The five versions available for U.S. customers will be: Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate. But Microsoft will only sell Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional at retail, in a bid to eliminate some of the confusion caused by a plethora of Windows Vista versions.
