Hola,
I am Bill, and I live and work way down south in Baja Sur, Mexico. I just got a new laptop with Win7. Transitions to new operating systems are always painful, but you people are easing the hurt. I can't thank you enough for the support you have already provided me.
I am curious... is this a Microsoft sponsored Forum? Are the Administrators or techs paid here? The level of technical expertise at this site appears to be quite high, and the response time is fast... not just the average Forum of avid users.
Thanks Again, BD

Hi Bill, welcome to the Forums, no none of us are paid for our time, we do it because we like to help. Everyone of us started out the same way you are, we just wandered in one day, and decided to stay. We are an unofficial support forum, although we are recognised by Microsoft as the #1 unofficial forum (im sure someone will provide a link to prove it, i seem to have lost the address)
Hope you stick around :)
Welcome to Seven Forums bill,
Nope, we are not connected, sponsored, or paid by Microsoft. We are all volunteers.
As severedsolo said, 'we do it because we like to help' and learn.
There is a huge amount of information here, lots of very good tutorials, and knowledgeable members.
Most of us read, learn and help when we can.
They did once send me a bag of jelly beans if that counts.
Hi Martin,
I understand, and I participate and help on several other Forums (where I actually know something, rather that always asking question). I sincerely appreciate the giving of your experience and time, for all who participate on this forum. I sure hope MS does appreciate your contribution.
