My wife wanted a computer for her sewing room. It came with Windoze 7 on it which she instantly HATED and asked me to send it back. Being male, husband, and curious, I didn't. [Fast Forward 2 Years]: had the harddrive partitioned and had XP put on it along with the Windoz 7. It took a while and a little $$$ but now we both (might) are (?) happy. So I'll be tooling through this book and it's sister (almost as many pages-Windows 7 Annoyances) this year-'12.
