Windows 7 is a very usable product that more and more folks will find themselves using as they buy retail computers, and as workplaces make the leap.  However, many users are holding off.  Likewise Office 2007 and recently Office 2010 are increasingly prevalent.

Our frank opinion is that there is some arrogance in presuming that users will just give up their current expertise and learn the new environments.  And more than arrogance, there still aren't many compelling reasons to switch!  For most folks the new 'killer application' or 'productivity boost' just isn't there!  Even worse we now know that the Vista and Windows 7 menu experiemnts are about to be abandoned and revised yet again (The 'Metro' interface) in Windows 8!!

To us this means that already productive users should be allowed to make the switch at their own pace or not at all, and we're very pleased to see that the marketplace and developer community are closing the gap.  We composed a quick visual review on how to be productive with Windows 7 & Office 2007/2010 that's available here -->  (www+2ss+com/Win 7, Office 2007-10 work like XP & 2003+htm, copy, paste, & replace the "+" with ".").
 
When we deliver a new systems with Windows 7, or Office 2007/2010 we configure them with add-ins that make the old menus and commands available so users can try the new commands at their convenience without compromising productivity.  Here's a quick run-down on the specifics:

• Windows XP, Vista, & 7 all have 'Classic' customization settings you can implement with a few mouse clicks (See the link above)
• Windows 7 ships without the familiar 'Classic' menu but it can be downloaded and installed FREE here --> (www+classicshell+sourceforge+net, copy, paste, & replace the "+" with ".")
• Office 2007 and 2010 expect us to learn and use new menu commands, but you can download and install the familiar 2003 menu commands FREE here --> (www+ubit+ch/software/ubitmenu+languages/, copy, paste, & replace the "+" with ".")

So it's possible to have Windows 7 and Office 2007/10 on your terms, stay productive, and learn the new features as time permits...
