Personal Technology

I have been using Windows 7 very comfortably for a long time. I love the product and I love the presence of my start menu. I use my laptop/computer for a causal use as well as for professional work. One of my primary job as an evangelist is to present technology sessions at various places. I use my mobile ultrabook for the all the presentations. This ultrabook is pretty new (11 months old) and it has Win 8 Operating System. Though I use my laptop as a tablet most of the time, I still use Desktop mode ALL the time for everything I do.

The most common benefit my students tell me about is that they get invited to far more job openings after getting certified than they did before. When the stack or resumes gets sorted down, they need a proven reason to keep yours on the short list.
