As we've done with Part One of our two-part set of audio courses intended to upgrade your XP support skills to Windows 7, here's the track list for the second set of recordings, ones intended to explain what changed between Vista and Windows 7.
The audio presentation is divided up into 10 CDs. Each CD is divided into a number of tracks, each about five to ten minutes long. We've cross-indexed the tracks and subject description to the slide numbers printed in the Audio Companion. So, for example, if you wanted to re-visit the subject of whether to adopt 64-bit Windows or not, then you'd listen to tracks 2-5 on CD disc number 2. The accompanying PowerPoint slides in the Audio Companion would be numbers 16-22.
This table of contents also appears in the front of the Audio Companion.
