Windows: Everything You Need to Know How to Do in Windows. As we get to the end of the year, it is time to recapitulate. I catch a lot of flack about my choice of Windows XP, and my use of it in my law practice. You may remember the Windows versus Mac article in the ABA Journal. The fact remains that a vast majority of my readers, and lawyers in general, use Windows as an operating system. In fact, it really doesn't matter what operating system you use. Don't let some tech salesman tell you otherwise. Choose the software that you need and want to run your law practice; THEN, ask what operating system it runs on. Most legal application software vendors concentrate on Windows. Insulting Apple ads aside, we want to use our computers to be better and more productive lawyers. That is the name of that tune. This Lifehacker guide to XP will help you do just that. Happy New Year. By the way, here's hoping that Windows 7 will have the stability and functionality of XP, and the pretty interface of Vista. Now, that would be something to celebrate.
I've used the Windows 7 beta, and so far, I've been real pleased with it.
