Windows 7 hits the shelves on October 22nd and Microsoft has been busy creating a number of promotions to help celebrate its launch. In fact, I even managed to score some loot in the #WinWin7 contests taking place over on Twitter (follow @MSWindows for more info).
It’s all this buzz about Windows 7 that got me thinking – what could I do that would be a cool twist on the whole “7” thing and then it hit me – short, 77 second training videos for Windows 7! There are so many cool little features that are hiding in Windows 7 that short little videos are all it takes to get users going “Oooh, Ahhh” and wanting to try it for themselves.
So tonight, live on this very blog (well, not technically live) I present the first in a series of Windows 7 in 77 Seconds training videos – Window Resizing.
Windows 7 in 77 Seconds – Window Resizing
It’s a pretty simple tool to use – you simple launch the tool from Windows 7 by typing “PSR” from the Run window and then hit the record button and let it watch what you are doing (you can also find it hiding in the Control Panel area as well). When you are done, stop the recording and it will save a dynamic HTML file with screenshots, annotations and even comments that you have added. The final quality of the documentation is outstanding – people will think that you hired a technical copy editor to produce something this good.
