Transfering files and folders rapidly in Windows

One of the most common task of a computer user is transferring (copying or moving) files and folders. Pathetically, the default windows  file transferring tools are too primitive and slow. Thankfully, there are free and commercial, file transferring utilities at our disposal. My personal favorite are teracopy and richcopy.

Seven things to love and hate about Windows 7

As per NetworkWorld testing team.

Love first:

1. Improved GUI include application search bar
2. Running applications view is revamped & resizing applications on screen is a snap
3. The wonders of ‘One-click’ WiFi
4. The easy-to-understand, unified user-maintenance application (Action Center)
5. Better Backup will be a blessing & policy-based Auditing Enhancements
6. The Ability dial down system screams (a.k.a UAC)
7. A Firewall with a brain

and now 7 hates:

1.Windows Explorer still needs work
2. An insecure Windows Credential Manager
3. Having to track down “essential” apps
4. It’s still Windows Device Configuration, stupid
5. Obscure SMB/CIFS support
6. Library Indexing requirement limits sources
7. Resource and Performance Monitor need a face lift
