Yesterday, I was uploading a large number of files with FileZilla. While it was uploading, I tried to visit a website with Firefox. There was a very bizarre problem–when I typed the letter “e”, the My Computer window opened. However, there is a simple fix for this:
The beta of Windows 7, Microsoft’s next operating system, was officially released on Friday. Within a few hours, Microsoft realized that they had underestimated the load on their servers, and took it offline (some blogs like this one posted a direct download link, but it did not work for everyone). On Saturday, Microsoft added some more servers, and it was released again.
I tried it out for myself. The installation time was comparable to Windows XP Pro on my computer, and went by without any problems. I can’t comment on the effects since I was using a virtual machine, but it seems fast and stable, much better than the hated Vista. It has some nifty new features, such as the Snipping Tool, which is a more versatile screen capture tool than the Print Screen key, the new WordPad, and the new Paint. If you want to try it out, you can get it here.
