which operating systems?
Nov 9, 2015
Hi, I'm potentially interested in this webinar, but I don't use Windows and, from the trainer's bio, I see that he's specialised in Windows-based tools. Will the webinar describe tools for all the main OSs, or only for Windows? In my opinion, this information should appear in the course summary. Thank you, Valentina
