Philadelphia developer Nomadio has discovered an unfinished Windows 7 feature (Virtual Wi-Fi) that can turn a laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot. That means other devices in the near vicinity can access the Internet without the need for special tunneling software. The company has now exploited the uncovered treasure and created a free application called Connectify, released just last week.
PCAdvisor has the full story and you can pick up the software at connectify.me, you will need a Windows 7 machine with wireless for this to work.
Microsoft allowed anyone buying a new pc between July onwards this year to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for Free and as I bought a Refurbished Dell – then I added my system tag to the said list and waited. Now a big company like Dell or Microsoft you would expect the wonders of automation and an email to be sitting inside my inbox telling me it was ready to ship right? Well no – a big company like dell like to make YOU do all the hard work it seems – shame on you Dell.
I came across on THIS Page a list of Shortcut keys – in this post I shall re-post them mainly for my reference and others.
I have seen many reviews of the Beta of Windows 7 and even tested it myself – I agree it is faster “out of the box” then Vista and uses less memory, less services are running and by all accounts seems to b the answer to Microsoft Prayers. The thought on my mind and I know this from every single beta MS has ever put out there – will the end product be as good?
I see this as a make or break time for MS in terms of Operating systems – they still make lots of money anyhow on Servers and people buying machines with Windows pre-installed but were they make there real money is not from consumers but from the 1000′s of licences companies buy for each desktop OS. Even when they do bring out Windows 7 – many companies will want to wait for Service pack one.
Yes folks – everybody and there dog is talking about the so called windows 7 Beta MS have pushed out, how good it is and so forth. I need to add at this point that I personally thought Vista is not as bad as some make out but I also agree that even on a fuly loaded system, it is still sluggish compared to XP for example. This is not a review as such (there is plenty about should you need one) but my very first impressions of the beta (version 7000).
