I had not heard any. If you had not listen to the cast on window 7 part 1 and 2 at blindcooltech.com I suggest you listen It is OK and can help. I does not do anything to talk about comparing XP and Window 7. It is not the greatest but it is something to help you with window 7.

Hi,
While on the subject of terminology in windows7, can anybody recommend where one can learn the differences between XP and windows7? I sometime find it confusing using windows7 after using XP for 6 years and I am hoping that a clear comparison between the two operating systems will make it easier to get acclimated and become accustomed to it. Is there such a comparison out there? 

Many thanks in advance,

Lennie

A split button is just a button with more than one option at a time; to get 
to any of the options, you simply have to press the right arrow and you
would hear other nested items. You can decide to just activate the main menu 
item without expanding the split button by pressing the return key.

Sure, Windows 7 changed the layout of some of its windows, especially with
the Folder Selection control. Instead of Folder View, List View, other
buttons you hear have to do with your preferences in arrangement of these
itmes. Some folks prefer to have documents listed alphabetically, from a
certain range to a certain range without necessarily showing all the
documents in the folder. So, for instance, if you know that you wish to open 
an |Excel document that starts with D, you have to pick from the displayed
command buttons to let the arrangement be from A to H, etc.
However, you can turn this off if you feel that this distracts you.

As for me, to quickly get to a list of documents, I just use the Shift+Tab
instead: I only skip this set of command options and get to the list. While 
here, you can continue to browse as in the classic XP style.

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers,

Ishe

I    am now using Windows 7 and need help with these questions
1. Explain what is "split button" - when I create a document, it now reads 
"save as - split button" and I used to tab until I heard "save in : combo
box - my documents" - where is "my documents"?
2. In microsoft excel - I used to tab until I heard "folder view list view 
- attachments" - now there is just "folder" or "document" or a bunch of
other choices - how do I get to my spread sheet file quicker?
