Windows 7 Inside Out a hit at Computer Users Group’s monthly meeting

One of the beta testers for Windows 7 (Richard Frisch) has been hosting a series of presentations to introduce local users to Windows 7. The presentation is given at a local library to the Computer Users Group monthly meeting. The attendees have a broad range of experience with computers.  One attendee at each talk (two held in October) received a free copy of Windows 7 Inside Out, by Ed Bott, Carl Siechert, and Craig Stinson. Here’s the report from the event as well as a copy of Richard’s newsletter.

I gave two public talks in October, Windows 7: An Introduction. The first one on Tuesday, October 6 at the Fairfield County Computer Users Group monthly meeting. The second one on Saturday, October 24 at the Westport (CT) Library. (Westport is David Pogue’s home town.) FCUG usually has 50 or more attendees. The Westport Library technology talks usually draw an audience in excess of 100.

It was a big hit at the first presentation, Windows 7: An Introduction. The room was packed probably about 75 attendees.
I opened the presentation with the book as a giveaway. I told the audience that I would decide who got it based upon the best question asked. I publicly thanked Ed and Microsoft Press for your/their generosity.

One fellow asked me how he could install Windows 7 on his netbook since he didn't have a DVD drive. Good question that needed to be asked. He won. He was quite happy.

My friend Ed Bott and Microsoft Press have donated a copy of Windows 7 Inside Out, by Ed Bott et al. that I will be giving away at my presentation at the Westport Library on Saturday, October 24, at 10:30a. You've got to be there to have a chance to win this wonderful $49.99 (MSRP) resource.
