Although Mac promotes itself as easier to use than Windows, the newest versions of Windows have come a long way in usability. To help the computer-illerate with Windows, the MakeTechEasier.com site has published a great article titled 4 Things Computer-illiterate Users Should Know When Running Windows. The first item is not to believe any ads that promise to speed up your computer. The rest of the list is just as important. Be sure to read the entire article.

Although not a complete cloud solution for Microsoft Office users, Google Cloud Connect is a step in the right direction. What it does do is backup all your local Microsoft Office files (as soon as your press “Save” ) to Google Docs (or “the cloud” as we affectionately call it.) This provides off-site backup and the ability to view your documents from any browser anywhere. What it does not do is sync in the other direction, meaning you can not edit your Office files in Google Docs, and expect to see those changes reflected on your local PC. Still, it’s a pretty useful tool. Sign up now (only for Windows users) to be part of the beta testing.
