Windows 7 Upgrade

The library computers have been upgraded to the Windows 7 operating system. While it's supposed to be really wonderful, change is often difficult, confusing, and infuriating for a while, especially when Microsoft is involved. So if you experience any of these emotions while working on library computers, feel free to ask for help from a lab assistant, the Computer Support desk, or anyone with a name badge who looks slightly less confused than you feel.

Also, you might want to peruse the Windows 7 help site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help.
