Windows 7

Duration 1 day

This one day seminar gives the delegates a first look at Windows 7 from the technical viewpoint. Windows 7 is the new Microsoft desktop operating system that will replace Windows XP and Windows Vista. The presentation will highlight the new technical features that Windows 7 offers. As the take-up of Windows Vista in the business sector has been low, the course will include some features introduced with Windows Vista. The course is aimed at individuals responsible for IT infrastructure and support within their organisation, as well as any business end-user regardless of job role.
