<p>By now, with Windows 7 available everywhere, we're sure many of you XP users may have already crossed over. If you haven't, hopefully this video guide here will convince you further in addition to our previous write-ups and guides. If you're a new Windows 7 user, then the following videos are still worth a look, especially since they feature the cooler and more user friendly aspects of the new OS. Stuff like Homegroup, Xbox interactivity with Windows 7 and content streaming (like media) from a remote location.</p>
<p>Continuing our previous interview and general overview of Windows 7, we have our tech writer Sutlej Soin as our host and Matthew Hardman, Group Manager, Group Client, Business &amp; Marketing Organization of Microsoft Singapore to help demo how these new features are used. Enjoy!</p>
