Most people are dragged into Windows 7 without a choice. Their new computers probably came with Windows 7 already installed.

Whatever your situation, this part gives a refresher on Windows basics and buzzwords like dragging and dropping, cutting and pasting, and tugging at vanishing toolbars.

This part explains how Windows 7 has changed things for the better, and it warns you when Windows 7 has messed things up completely.
