10 things I can never remember how to do in Excel | 10 Things | TechRepublic.com: “Like a lot of business software users, I’m a generalist. On any given day, my job may require a little number crunching and word processing, and maybe some page layout, slide show creation, or report building.

Migrating to Windows 7 without Microsoft’s help | Windows – InfoWorld: “Although there is no direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, that doesn’t mean there is a shortage of tools on Microsoft’s part to help you migrate. But — perhaps due to the abundance of Microsoft’s tools combined with the complexity of using each tool (or learning how to use the tools in the correct order) — some IT pros have decided to seek alternatives.
