Instructional movies

These movies and Powerpointpresentations I found on the Windows XP Developer Center. They are absolutely great and are produced at Microsoft Headquarters. Kyle Marsh, a Microsoft Software Developer, presents some of XP's great features. Together they represent over 70 minutes of XP-wizardry. Take the opportunity to learn as much as possible from these movies. The Powerpoint presentations are offered as downloads on this page. Thanx to Windows XP Developer Center and Microsoft for releasing these movies!
