Microsoft's replacement for the largely unloved Windows Vista has been eagerly awaited. Now that it's here, Windows 7 is undoubtedly an improvement on its predecessor in terms of performance and usability, and is widely felt to be the best version of Windows yet. But whilst it deserves praise for getting the basics right, many of the extras like mail programs and photo galleries that we've come to take for granted in earlier versions have been dropped. That's where this issue of PC Tools comes in, we've put together a starter pack that will help you use the new OS for a range of day-to-day tasks. Whatever you want to do with your PC you should find something useful here. You'll also find plenty of guides and expert tips to the features of the new operating system to help you get to grips with what it can do.
