What is XML? XML, or eXtensible Markup Language, is a metalanguage.
That is, it's a language that can be used to describe other
languages and a specification for storing information. Although XML
and HTML may seem to have a lot in common, in reality the
difference between them is like the difference between night and
day. HTML is used to format information, but it isn't very useful
when it comes to describing information. For example, you can use
HTML to format a table, but you can't use HTML to describe the data
elements within the table. The reason for this is that you can't
really depict something as abstract as a distributor or a customer
with HTML, which is where XML comes into the picture. XML can be,
and is, used to define the structure of data rather than its
format. This 50-page Fast Start guide begins by showing you the
basics of the XML language and then builds on that knowledge to
show you how to create an XML document.

What is Exchange Online? Exchange Online is available as part of an
Office 365 plan and as a standalone service. Microsoft offers a
variety of Office 365 plans that include access to Office Web Apps,
the full desktop versions of Office, or both as well as access to
Exchange Online. If you don't want to use Office 365, Microsoft
also offers plans specifically for Exchange Online. In Exchange
Online, email addresses, distribution groups, and other directory
resources are stored in the directory database provided by Active
Directory for Windows Azure. Windows Azure is Microsoft's
cloud-based server operating system. Exchange Online fully supports
the Windows security model and by default relies on this security
mechanism to control access to directory resources. As you get

available features and options can change over time. Microsoft
releases cumulative updates for Exchange on a fixed schedule and
applies these cumulative updates to their hosted Exchange servers.

Online, Office 365 and Windows Azure and then builds on that
knowledge to show you how to work with these services using both

Get this Fast Start guide to learn Windows 7 quickly. Windows 7 is
more customizable than any earlier release of the Microsoft Windows
operating system. Powerful features and options combined with
traditional favorites allow you to work in new ways. You can
perform tasks more efficiently, and you can optimize and customize
the operating system in many ways.
Teaching you how to make Windows 7 work the way you want it to
is what this book is all about. If you were moving in to a house,
apartment, or dorm room, you would want to make the space your own.
We do the same with just about everything in our lives, yet
surprisingly few people take the time to make their virtual space
their own, which can make using a computer a frustrating
experience.
One of the ways to make Windows 7 your own is to customize the
interface. In any operating system, the interface is everything
that connects you to your computer and its basic elements,
including the desktop, the menu system, and the taskbar. The way
these essential elements look depends on appearance settings. The
way they behave depends on customization settings associated with
your user account.
