Presentation: Nifty Windows XP applications
According to e-week online magazine 28% of corporate IT admins did, or plan to, upgrade to Vista with the others planning to leap-frog to Windows 7. For home or hobby users Vista is unattractive since only 14% of third-party developers have ported their software to Vista. Windows XP has a very good choice of third-party applications many of which are free. Tonight, Terry McKenna will introduce some of his favorite free software for Windows XP. Interaction is encouraged and everyone is invited to share their knowledge by introducing their favorite too. Participants may send links to the president’s mailbox to have displayed on the screen during the talk.
