Win 7 and the below average user
I have quite a change up ahead with my co workers. We are a small financial institution and run XP currently. I am sure some of my co workers have vista at home however they have no idea what they are doing if a shortcut is not on the desktop then they are screwed. We have a lot of older 40 and over women here so you can see my challange. Our CEO's plan is to run the systems we have as long as possible. And then get Win 7. He is a CPA and cheap since we will have higher than normal costs due to training staff on a completely different looking OS.
