Windows 7 Annoyances

I like this book. A modern operating system is bound to be immensely complex and whatever you may think of Microsoft, I think its developers have done a very good job. Compared to Vista it goes like a rocket, but there are unbelievable, inexplicable changes. Windows 7 Annoyances goes straight to the heart of the most annoying problems you find on a day-to-day basis, and sorts many of them out.

Windows 7, in one form or another, is going to be around throughout industry for ten years or more, so finding a practical, no-messing insight into ways of solving the most common problems is essential. Windows 7 may be faster and more stable than Vista, but it's a long way off being problem-free.
