MS Virtual Senior Center Has Win 7 at the Core.

[JMH]

For some, Windows 7 might just be the fastest selling operating system in history, but, for others, the product could prove a veritable life saver. The successor of Windows Vista is at the core of a new initiative aimed at homebound seniors, and designed to boost wellness by simply helping them reduce social isolation. Virtual Senior Center is only a demonstration project at this point in time, but there has to be little doubt that a product based on this concept will deliver quality-of-life benefits to seniors who are prisoners of their homes because of age-related health problems.

This is a super article, thanks. Copy going to my Mom who has resisted every attempt to get her online. Since she loves to learn, she'd love it....but you have to get them to try first

@JMH - Jan, this is Brilliant!
I am a very big fan of anything that helps the seniors in the community.

@Ianfnsu - I got my Mum into it by giving her those little games to play like the word game bookworm, and also Mahjong. Two years later, she is emailing daily and even has a facebook account. Go Mum's (and Mom's ).
