November 17, 2013 - Chapter 5 - Personalizing Your Work Experience

Another week too full of other things means that once again I am skirting a deadline to get this entry in.  This was another interesting chapter, full of new takes on old ways.

I have to say,  the more I delve into Windows 7 using this textbook, the more impressed I am.  For instance,  it has been possible to change colors and themes in the desktop since Windows 3.1, but I had no idea that Win 7 allows you to change the color by altering hue, saturation and brightness.

Other personalization ideas, like desktop photo screen savers have been around awhile and still work well.

I read somewhere recently that the difference between Vista and Win 7 is that Vista was produced by teams working independently with no communication , and that 7 was produced by teams with a great deal of intercommunication.  I believe it.

Color me impressed - in hue, saturation and brightness!
