Download all the Official Windows 7 Themes from a single location
Dec 16th
It was Windows 95, where we first had the option to switch themes to enjoy a new desktop everyday. Back in those days it helped to refresh the old computers with new themes but some how with Win2k and onwards, themes went missing as the OS started come with just 2 option, one graphics hungry and another light version.
But with Windows 7, Microsoft has brought the concept of themes back to mainstream. The default installation of Windows 7 would carry couple of themes with it, where as one may find a bunch of themes based on many concept at Windows 7 Personalization Gallery hosted by Microsoft.

Quick look at TATA Photon TV -> Wireless television streaming / broadcasting via TATA Photon+
Dec 12th
TATA indicom becomes the first Indian ISP to offer live television streaming via its EVDO / HSIA wireless network. Recently TATAindicom has tied up with Apalya Technologies, a Hyderabad based company to launch the Photon TV service on Adobe Air platform.
TATAindicom is presently providing the CDMA 1x service in 22 states and has a large EDVO / HSIA network on most of the big cities.
How to get Photon TV
You may start the service by downloading the TV viewing tool. Which is around 17MB and available for free download.
Do take a note here, the Adobe Air run time given with this tool seems to be out dated as right after the installation, my adobe update center informed me that there is an updated version of Adobe Air run time available. Meaning another 10+MB of download.
Presently the application supports only Windows platform and I have tested and found it working with XP (x64) / Vista (x64) and Win 7 (x64).

How to install / How to create a bootable installation USB / flash drive of Windows 7
Dec 11th
Netbook computers are fast becoming mainstream products. To cut weight of the portable devices, its now becoming a common practice by vendors to ship portable computers (Laptop / Notebooks) with smaller screen and without any optical (CD / DVD) drive.
Ever since we have stepped in to the broadband edge, people are finding it easy to stream or download (purchase) movies / music / software online rather than buying physical copy of it. Hence lack of an optical drive is not causing any major issue for day to day computing.
However, there is one major section of computing, which requires an optical drive as must. That is, the phase of installation of an (OS) Operating System. Although, most of the time, any new netbook (ASUS EEEPC / Acer Aspire One / 7″ / 10inch / 11″ screen based products) / notebook / laptop would come with an pre-installed OS, but there are certain situation, where we may find you self in need of upgrading or installing the OS (let’s face it, Windows installations do get wrong sometime), where as, many Netbooks are coming without any OS or with Freedos or Linux, in which an user may feel to put his own OS.
So how can you install Windows on a Computer / Netbook / Notebook / Laptop which doesn’t have an optical (CD / DVD) drive ?
There are couple of options, like,
- Using an external USB based optical (CD / DVD) drive
- Network deployment installation
- Installation via USB / flash / pen / thumb drive
Up-till now, Microsoft didn’t have any official method or way for supporting the USB installation method. If someone wanted to do so, had to do via many complicated guides on How to install Windows via USB drive or how to create bootable installation USB drive.
However things are about to change with Microsoft releasing a tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
What is Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool ?

List of Mounting / Virtual (CD/DVD) drive software supporting Windows 7
Dec 8th
Daemon Tools (Free / Paid)
Daemon tools is one of the oldest and widely used software in this category. There are 2 versions of this product available, as both free and paid-ware. Supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 (x64/x86).
Since the time they have started to sell a paid copy of the product, the free version has started to pack some bloatware like browser tool bars and certain add-ons. However you would be presented with options under custom installation to install the software without these add-ons. Where as the paid versions allows you to create 32 virtual drives supporting Blue-Ray also.
