Acknowledgments
My sincere thanks to my editor, Brian Jepson, for suggesting that we do a book on Microsoft’s latest operating system—Windows 7. Although many users were not too thrilled with Windows Vista, the early beta and candidate releases of Windows 7 took many critics by surprise. Not only does Windows 7 come with some really nice features, but more importantly, it was a very stable operating system that performs well even with older hardware. Realizing the potentials of Windows 7, I was very excited when I got the chance to work on this book—especially with Brian, who has been more of a mentor to me than an editor. Thanks, Brian!
I would also like to thank O’Reilly Managing Editor Marlowe Shaeffer. She has been instrumental in getting the book ready so that you can get this book in your hands before Windows 7 ships. Thank you, Marlowe.
Last but not least, I want to thank my family for their love and support, especially my wife, SzeWa, and our lovely dog, Ookii. I love you all!
And of course, a big thank you to the production crew at O’Reilly, who made this book possible.
