the cloud is online stuff like Google Docs. There are others that you can find with an online search engine. One cool one is writer which mimics an old style black screen terminal where you can create documents and that are stored on the website. There are many "Cloud" services such as photograph storage sites, backup data sites, etc. In a word, the "Cloud" is in cyber space and not on your computer.

As Windows 7 is great if you have a newer computer. Also, some of your software, and some of your peripheral hardware like scanners, printers and such may not work on Windows 7. My HP Scanjet 4300C would not work on Windows 7. Microsoft provides a compatibility software program that will check your current machine and hardware for compatibility problems. Good Luck.
