How about a snack of Windows 7?

If you want to see what all the fuss is about this Windows 7 stuff, without having to bother finding a copy of the beta, finding a registration code, getting a spare PC, drive or partition, or even looking at endless screenshots. Then, why not take a look at a neat set of animations (Silverlight required), produced by Microsoft.


Admittedly, you do need to install Silverlight to view them, but the results are at least informative, if not Pixar quality, with narratives of problems and solutions. There are seven snacks so far and each covers a different lesson, be it migration, the power shell, user interface and other features. As part of the Springboard series of TechNet articles, they provide useful backgrounders on what to expect and how it will improve the process of migrating a company from earlier versions of Windows.
