I'd seen the news about the release of this ebook in my news stream, but until seeing Blake's post I hadn't realized the scope, breadth or size of it. This looks like a great Windows 7 Guide for the non-techie. For those that got Win7 on a new PC this past Christmas(s) and are now ready to delve a little deeper into how they can best to use it. Passing this on to family members now... :P
