Office '07 & Win 7
with XP
& '03 Productivity
|
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
including
most
2SS.Com
clients
are
holding
off.
Similarly
Office
2007
and
recently
Office
2010
are
increasingly
prevalent.
At
2SS.Com
our
frank
opinion
is that
there
was
arrogance
in
presuming
that
users
would
just
give up
their
current
expertise
and
learn
the new
environments.
And more
than
arrogance
there
still
aren't
many
compelling
reasons
to
switch.
The new
'killer
application'
or 'productivity
boost'
just
isn't
there!
To us
this
means
that
already
productive
users
should
be
enabled
to make
the
switch
at their
own pace,
and
we're
very
pleased
to see
that the
marketplace
and
developer
community
are
closing
the gap.

Be
productive in Win 7 7 & Office 7/10 now! (Click
here) |
Today
when
2SS.Com
delivers new
systems
with
these
tools 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
(Click
here
to
see
snapshots
with
links
and
step-by-step
instructions)
-
Windows
7
ships
without
the
familiar
'Classic'
menu
but
can
download
and
install
it
FREE
(here)
-
Office
2007
and
2010
expect
us
to
lean
and
use
new
menu
commands,
but
you
can
download
and
install
the
familiar
2003
menu
commands
FREE
(here.and
see
the
resulting
menu
tab
here).
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...
...and, at 2SS.Com
that's the way we like it!
