Are You Upgrading to Windows 7?

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:43:28 GMT

I'm a bit late in announcing the last episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report. In Is Windows 7 Coming to Your Computer?, we take a look at the latest version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, and whether lawyers should be upgrading now, or taking a wait-and-see approach. While I'm not quite ready to upgrade yet myself, I'm ready to starting using it - from everything I have heard, Windows 7 offers a good improvement from Vista. We also talk about using Google Wave to discuss topics from our podcast - if you are using Wave, join us in the legal tech conversation! Either search "with:public" for "Kennedy-Mighell Report," or email me and I'll add you to the Wave myself. Check out the podcast - lots of good information this episode.
