Windows 7 Help and How To Site Debuts

As we get closer to the final version of Windows 7 hitting the streets on 22 Oct 2009 we will see more information flowing out of Microsoft that will establish the base infrastructure of support and assistance on the web.

One of those sites that have just seen first light on the web is the Windows 7 Help & How-to pages.

The information is broken down into several areas to assist you in learning as much as you can about the latest version of the Windows operating system:
