An operating system, or OS, is a software program that enables the computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software. Without a computer operating system, a computer would be useless. As computers have progressed and developed so have the types of operating systems. Today we now have a multitude of differing systems. Companies who began using Windows operating systems are also now trying Linux-based systems to run many of their programs. Hardware at one time was also structured to work with one kind of system or another. Pinnacle Computer Services has found that not only are companies using both Windows and Linux-based operating systems but that we have new opportunities for them to be run on the same servers and SANs.

Ask us about the new SUSE Linux 11 or Windows 7 operating systems.

It's 2011, and many people are still completely terrified of making the switch to Office 2007 or Office 2010.

Most of these concerns are centered around a new feature in the latest versions of Office called the "Ribbon Interface" which does away with the "File, Edit, View" style that we have become so accustomed to using in our daily tasks. It is seen as something foreign and daunting, but is actually very user friendly and quite intuitive!

The new interface is context sensitive and will adjust its options depending on what element or feature you are using. If you are entering standard text, the menu might show controls for bold, italic, size, font, and many other features that would pertain to entering text. When working with photos you might see options for cropping, resizing, or rotating the image. All of this is done automatically and saves time by not making the user search through dropdown menus to find the correct set of tools to use.

There hasn't been a better time to come see for yourself how Microsoft Office 2007 or Office 2010 will make your workflow quicker and more productive than their predecessors. Currently, Pinnacle is offering a variety of training packages that can get you familiar with and using the new software in just a few hours.
