Now that Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 7 (beta) is publicly available, almost everyone is itching to get their grubby paws on a copy and take it for a test drive.However, because this is only a beta release most people simply aren’t willing to part with their established installations of Windows Vista or XP. With that mind, we’re going to look at one easy way of dual booting Windows 7 Beta with either Vista or XP in three painless steps…
Step 1:
Create an Installation Disc
In case you haven’t downloaded your copy of Windows 7 Beta yet, you can get it now in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. You can read further instructions and get your installation key from Microsoft’s website.
Once you obtain your copy of Windows 7 (the official release is an .ISO file), you will need to burn it to a blank DVD to continue.
There are countless applications out there which will burn image files, to name a few popular free ones: Burn4Free CD and DVD, CDBurnerXP, ImgBurn and Ashampoo Burning Studio Free. I used CDBurnerXP.

The strongest critique we received about our recent guide on dual booting Windows 7 with XP/Vista was that we should’ve included information covering the likely event of you wanting to kick the beta OS to the curb, sooner or later.
Well, we couldn’t agree more, so as a follow up to that guide we’re going to look at the reverse process; deleting your Windows 7 partition and reallocating its hard drive space to another partition.
If you recall, in the dual boot guide we looked at two separate approaches for creating a new partition depending if you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, and we intend to do the same here.
Removing Windows 7 using Windows Vista:
Before we get started, if you prefer to use the GParted tool for any reason, feel free to do so, though it’s not altogether necessary. Be sure to have your Vista DVD on-hand to repair potential boot loader complications.

If you’ve decided to give Windows 7 a whirl and have recently installed the open now closed beta, you’ll have noticed that upon installation you are notified of the fact that you’re lacking proper antivirus software.
This is nothing new and actually has been a “feature” of Windows ever since XP’s SP2 got released and the Security Center came to exist. It’s nothing new either to have a majority of antivirus suites to become incompatible with brand new operating systems – and Windows 7 is no exception, especially more so in its current beta form.
Upon a bit of investigation you probably made your way to the Windows 7 security provider page at Microsoft’s site and perhaps were let down by the fact that the three “officially” supported AVs are all paid software or that your preferred suite isn’t listed (AVG is listed but not the free version). So, we’ve decided to install and test a variety of the more popular options out there so you don’t have to.

Soon after our first impression on the Internet Explorer 8 RC1, we decided to do the inevitable, a browser comparison with long time rivals Firefox, Opera, and the latest kid on the block, Chrome.
Note that this is not a review to find out which amongst these is the best browser around. It would be unwise to do such a comparison because, eventually, it boils down to personal choices, and for the same reason, there will always be controversy and related chest thumping about how “my” browser betters “yours.” Therefore, this is just a rehash of the features and drawbacks of these four mainstream browsers available as of today.

Firefox is in my opinion the best browser ever made until now. It includes:
-improved tabbed browsing
-pop up blocking

Mozilla Firefox officially supports:
-Microsoft Windows

-Mac OS X
Unofficial Support:
-Free BSD
-OS/2
-Solaris

Now here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.

Accessing your local church computers and information from an external location is not as hard as you think. Here are some great ways to get remote access to your local network.
- Logmein FREE version LogMeIn.com offers a free service that gives you access to your remote computer as if you are sitting in front of it. It’s a great way to work remotely from home or on the road. Some of the beefy features of their paid versions include printer sharing, and easy file transferring. However, LogMeIn FREE is all you need to get you started. This is also a great way to work on other computers at the office without ever leaving your desk. Seriously, stop paying for these bloated web services that make you pay for what is FREE.

SimonTools CyberGhost VPN 3.2.6.5 |1.12MB
The program CyberGhost client connects you to our online server via a so-called tunnel that transmits all your data in encrypted form, giving you 100% protection from curious eyes. Web pages that you visit will see only the address of your VPN server, not your IP address. This way you can guarantee your complete anonymity.
Everyone lyubopyten by nature. Everyone likes to talk about others and share the latest gossip. But no one likes it when it spies. That is why we are closing the door when some want to stay or try to talk on the phone with friends when no one hears.
With increases in the presence of the Internet in our lives, we have less space, where we feel safe. Web sites constantly want to know what we are interested, the industry wants to know more about our online action, real estate and service companies are smart to know more about their users and customers. To protect yourself or your privacy, you should take any action.
