Safari Books Online Offers Free Webcast With Microsoft Windows 7 Expert J. Peter Bruzzese to Deliver Quick Training for New Operating System

Author of Microsoft Windows 7 Unveiled to Discuss Latest Features and
Functionality
SEBASTOPOL, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Safari Books Online (www.safaribooksonline.com), the leading on-demand digital
library for technology, creative, and business professionals, announced today
that it will host a complimentary webcast on Wednesday, July 8 at 10:30 a.m. PDT
/ 1:30 p.m. EDT with Windows expert and author J. Peter Bruzzese. Bruzzese will
discuss his latest book, Microsoft Windows 7 Unveiled, which highlights the
newest features and functionality of Microsoft`s newest operating system.

To register for this complimentary event, please visit:
http://www.safaribooksonline.com/events/microsoft7.html. All webcast attendees
will receive 45 days of complimentary access to Microsoft Windows 7 Unveiled
plus ClipStart Guides for Windows 7 and Vista.

With the lackluster performance of Vista, many Windows users are still using XP,
an operating system that is nearly 10 years old. Windows 7 comes with a whole
new structure and Microsoft Windows 7 Unveiled, published by Que Publishing,
will help both XP users, and those currently on Vista, get up to speed fast. And
Windows 7 is already receiving accolades from staunch Mac OS supporters.

During this 75-minute webcast, Bruzzese will provide all the information
necessary to evaluate making the leap to, or just getting proficient with, the
new OS. "It's easy to hate a new OS, to poke holes in the feature set, and find
it wanting. But Windows 7 has me sold," he said.

"We`re excited to bring a well-respected Windows expert to our webcast series
who can clearly communicate the features of Windows 7," said Paige Mazzoni, VP
of marketing, Safari Books Online. "Our webcasts are great for people who have
been handed additional responsibilities at work and need to quickly come up to
speed with new challenges, as well as for those who want to be proactive by
enhancing their knowledge and skill set."

Safari Books Online subscribers can download and print content, and can view the
content online or in PDF format from a computer or mobile device like the
iPhone/iPod touch.
