Where to ask W-7 Questions?

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by CWLee, Oct 1, 2009.

    CWLee Guest

    Is there another newsgroup, or website, where questions
    about Windows 7 should be addressed?

    (My question, in case anyone here knows the answer, is:
    Does Windows 7 include the option, as XP and Vista have, to
    have the appearance be in "Windows Classic" mode?

    Thanks.

    Hi,



    Microsoft has apparently decided that all peer support should be on their
    new web support site.

    If you're referring to the desktop theme, then yes, Windows 7 includes
    it. You can Win7 look just like Win2K, if you like.

    Yes, it does; or, should I say, rather, that my copy of Windows 7
    Ultimate (Version 6.1, Build 7600) includes the optin.
