When you set up a new PC, you are starting from scratch. There are very few programs installed, if any, and usually not any that you use. I came across a new service/app called Ninite that allows you to select from their list of programs and create a single installation file, meaning you can choose any number of supported programs and only have to do one installation. This is great for several reasons: it’s a time-saver, by default it won’t install any toolbars from the applications you choose, and it creates a single file for you that will install however many applications you have chosen. So now when you get that new PC, you don’t have to worry about going to 17 different websites to download and then install the 20 different programs you want. You can just go to Ninite, select the programs, download a single file, and go about your day while it installs those 17 programs for you.

Microsoft will release Windows 7 on Thursday October 22nd. Are you ready? We’ve been testing 7 from early this year, and we really think it’s a worthwhile upgrade from Vista. You can check your machine to see if the hardware and software you have are compatible using the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor (Beta) here, or you can use the compatibility check on the Windows 7 DVD when it’s released. If you would like advice on whether or not you should upgrade, feel free to contact us.
Update: Microsoft has released the official version of the Upgrade Advisor here.
