Windows 7/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I can answer nearly all questions about Windows 7 - installation, upgrade, virtualization (XP Mode and beyond), configuration, how to get the most out of it, how to buy it, etc. I won't pretend to know it all - nobody can - if I don't know, I will try and find the answer. If I can't find it, I'll tell you.

Experience in the area

I worked as an analyst in Dell server support for 2 years, and have since worked with many Dell PowerEdge servers. I am currently employed as IT Manager. I have been using Windows 7 since the early Beta days.

Education/Credentials

I have a BS in Computer Science and am Microsoft-certified in Windows 7. I have also earned the following certifications: CIW v5 Associate, A , DCSE Server. Have Windows 8 Consumer Preview questions? Shoot!
