pcfixup :: Tips and Techniques for Windows Users: At Work Tips from Microsoft

November 23, 2009 -- When you are looking for tips about better computer practices, don't ignore the information available at Microsoft's own website. If you haven't visited Microsoft.com for some time you will notice that most of the site has a new face from the standard blue and white we have been used to seeing when running Windows Update in Windows XP for example.

Take a look at Microsoft at Work and Microsoft at Home. There you will find an easy to use menu on the left providing access to numerous topics of interest. You can also access the entire At Work article index or At Home article index directly.

Here is a just sample of some of the articles:
