Ep. 7 – Snow Leopard and Windows 7
by Mike on Sep.08, 2009, under Podcast
Episode 7 takes Allen and Mike on a bit of a detour. With Snow Leopard just released and the Windows 7 release available to partners, we take a tour of the new features of each with fellow Improver Leo Sakhvoruk. The feature lists are long and so is this episode.
