Some useful Windows 7 websites
Immense number of interesting tips at How-to Geek
Fully-illustrated tutorials at Windows 7 Forums
Just a few useful tips in Microsoft Technet's 77 Windows-7 Tips (posted some time ago by JoeP, perhaps?)
Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows has lots of useful articles and news on Windows 7.

Here is another http://gizmodo.com/5150298/windows-7-th ... w-with-rc1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Even though it is for RC, most of the info is still valid

Re: Some useful Windows 7 websites
This is a great resource. Can it be pinned for ease of finding for those just coming to Win7?

Re: Some useful Windows 7 websites
For those who send a non-EileenLounger this info, I suggest adding http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewforum.php?f=19, to get him/her/it directly to the Windows 7 board.

Re: Some useful Windows 7 websites
Hello.
Which guide/link will provide a 'quick' guide to using new features (since Windows XP)? I've been looking through Microsoft's Product Guide but it's more of a sales pitch.
I'll have to search through the links if necessary but am hoping someone might point me quickly in the right direction?

Re: Some useful Windows 7 websites
If you don't want the Microsoft view, how about a (Google) search like this:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sclient= ... G=S%C3%B6k" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
One example from the search result: http://windows.about.com/od/windowsosve ... ctions.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But I guess there is a plethora of pages out there; I might even have some links in my bookmarks.

John Gray added How To Geek in the first posting, but it's always good to be reminded of a great site

Re: Some useful Windows 7 websites
Another site, well not really a site but an app, that I have found very helpful with customizing my PC is Ultimate Windows Tweaker. This is like the old TweakUI on steroids.
