Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Beta Download

At the on-going Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference at Washington DC, Microsoft has announced public availability of the first beta of Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Brandon LeBlanc, Windows Communication Manager for Microsoft, notedon the Windows blog, that the Windows 7 SP 1 is simply a combination of updates already available through Windows Updates and bunch of other hot fixes. 

Microsoft made Windows 7 available worldwide on October 22 last year and within nine months, has rolled out first beta of Service Pack 1.  However, we shouldn't get our hopes high since it isn't bringing any path breaking feature for your desktops and laptops. Just a bunch of cumulative updates which are already available comes in Service Pack 1. So, who'd like to update when no new features are included? Well, there are several hot fixes that would bundle along to form a cumulative update pack.

From today, Microsoft's sale and support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 will die. No PC maker would be able to pre-install Windows XP SP 2 in new desktops or notebooks.  However, there are many individuals and enterprises who haven't updated their systems from Windows XP Service Pack 2.     

So, if you don't update to Windows XP Service Pack 3, Microsoft won't be able offering any support to you. The ideal choice here would be buying Windows 7 and then, if you wish, installing this Windows 7 Service Pack 1 beta. 

Microsoft is planning to release final version of Service Pack 1 in the first half of next year. Download Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Beta from here. All you need is a Windows Live ID to login to download the beta.

Decrapify / Debloat Windows 10 with a Powershell Script

Windows 10 is a decent OS from Microsoft after the disaster known as Windows 8 and 8.1. Although Windows is still better with no Modern UI crap, no ads, minimal telemetry, no Edge to bug you. But Windows 10 is a decent compromise if you want a stable OS with modern features like DirectX 12. Earlier OEMs used to bundle PCs and Laptops with crapware, with Windows 10, now Microsoft themselves bundle crapware. Welcome to Software as a Service (SaaS) model. On top of that we have OEM crapware on top of Microsoft crapware. As a result trying to Debloat or DeCrapify Windows 10 is getting absurd and as a system admin it is disheartening to see all that performance go to waste on the messed up attempt by Microsoft to do an Appstore and its apps. Fortunately a kind soul who goes by name  Sycne x has worked painstakingly to provide us a simple solution that works considerably well. Let's Begin To download the script visit  here , and click Clone or Download and Click Download as Zip.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Beta Review and Download

However, Microsoft has just unleashed the beta version of IE9, which could make you change your mind about browsers. The first look I would say, It's very minimalist: the box is both the address bar and the search box. The default is of course Bing, but you can change that. Next to that are tabs; to the far right of the screen are discreet icons for your home page, your favorites (not everyone is going to like that being moved to the other side of the screen) and your tools. And that's it. What you get instead of toolbars, add-ons, buttons and sidebars is just acres of screen real estate. Perhaps a little too much on a wide, high-res screen as many websites are designed as though they're going to fit on a sheet of A4 paper, though generally the sense is o
