you've probably used Windows or Office at least once in your life - that was an intentional understatement, just to be clear. Microsoft claims around 1.5 billion people use Windows everyday!
Even if you use a Mac, you've probably used Microsoft software.
While Microsoft's software is just about everywhere and does just about everything, it doesn't always work the way you want. Or maybe you just want to know more about it.
The next time you run into trouble with a program, or you're ready to learn more ins and outs of Windows, Visual Studio, Office or dozens of other Microsoft products, take a look at the largest collection of free Microsoft e-books available online.
These helpful guides are offered by Eric Ligman, Microsoft's Senior Sales Excellence Manager. There are over 130 free guides to download, from introductions to Windows 8.1 and Office 365 to building software in the Cloud.
Feel free to browse through as many as you need, they're all free to download and over a million copies have already been given away.
