The Virtues of Windows 7

Hi Portland Computer Users,

I want to let you know that the advances of Windows 7, from Windows Vista, are far and beyond those of Windows Vista, from Windows XP.

Whatever your computing needs are, you can do them much easier through Windows 7 than you ever could through Windows Vista. Vista constantly hampers you when you open new programs, want to get rid of programs, change any settings, etc, whereas Windows 7 does not.

It has more security without shoving all the permissions in your face all of the time. Windows 7 is more streamlined and much more user friendly.

So if you are thinking of upgrading from either Windows XP or Windows Vista, then I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing the upgrade to Windows 7. It will be worth your while, especially if you have Windows Vista!

Internet Explorer vs Mozilla Firefox

Hi Portland Computer Users,

This post is designed to give you some insight on how to browse the web a little safer, a little faster and a lot more in vogue!

Microsoft Internet Explorer has been around since the Internet was invented and became mainstream. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is the best web browser you can use. You don't know how many jobs I have been on where people want their Internet Explorer fixed so they can check their email or surf the web.

That's where Mozilla Firefox comes in! This is the best web browser out there and it is the one I give to all of my customers and recommend to all of my friends and associates.

Why? Because Firefox:

1. Is simpler to use than Internet Explorer
   
2. Takes less time to load pages than Internet Explorer
   
3. Has higher security than Internet Explorer
   
4. Is less likely to crash than Internet Explorer
   
5. Will increase your productivity!
   

If the above aren't reasons enough to switch over to Mozilla Firefox, then I don't know what else to say! Especially since Internet Explorer 8 came out, there are more and more bugs and glitches that you don't have to deal with if you are using Firefox!

You can find a free download of Mozilla Firefox here -
