After writing about technology for 30 years, Katherine Murraybelieves there’s never been a better time to be a tech enthusiast. She has seen personal computing change from big, slow, cryptic desktop-hogging machines to small, sleek smart devices we can tap our way through easily. She has worked with every version of Microsoft Windows there’s been, loving some versions (such as Windows 7) and loathing others (remember Windows Vista or worse, Windows ME?). She was part of the thumbs-up crowd when it came to Windows 8.1 but watched as Microsoft’s vision tanked because users weren’t quite ready for such a huge change in the way we work with our computers. Now in Windows 10, she believes Microsoft has done a better job building in the supports users need and providing a highly customizable working environment designed to let us work in the way that suits us best.

She started writing about technology 30 years ago and still enjoys it, specializing in Microsoft technologies and the fascinating ways in which we stay in touch with each other. In addition to writing books, she writes regularly forWindows Secrets magazine.
