TIPS, TOPICS and TWEAKS

*Windows Vista(TM) Plain & Simple*
Judging by the reviews at Amazon, this might be the Vista book you're looking for.
http://cybercoyote.org/links/115.html

*This is Funny*
At least in one sense: Many people, including me, actually like Vista. Conventional wisdom seems to differ though. People who know little about computers, and who have never tried Vista, are saying it is bad. It's an amusing meme that says more about human nature than it does about Vista.

*Freshen Up Outlook Express*
Actually, upgrade it with a replacement that is more capable and secure, but that still feels a lot like Outlook Express. Scroll down to "Windows Live Mail" in the review, and then go get it at live.com (Microsoft).

*Office 2007 Documents*
Enough people are using Office 2007 for you to begin seeing documents in that format, but you can't open them in older versions of Office. Microsoft realizes that, so they provide add-ons so you can work with them without having 2007.
