Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) on Tuesday took the wraps of the preview version of Windows 7, which will be the successor to Vista. Julie Larson Green, Microsoft’s vice president for Windows experience, hosted a demo in which she walked attendees through the features of the operating system.At first glance, Windows 7 maintains the streamlined look of Vista, but appears more muted — even Windows XP-like. Mostly, Microsoft seems to be focusing more on functionality, possibly in a bid to put some distance between Windows 7 and the criticisms which have dogged Vista.
Most obviously, a quick tour through Windows 7 reveals its new taskbar, which is sparser than in previous iterations of the OS. From the screen shots, it’s clear that Microsoft has listened to criticism and tuned many features, including search and access to security controls. The look and feel of the user interface is also highly customizable. The version of Windows 7 previewed at PDC is technically a pre-beta release. The official shipment of the final version is expected in about a year’s time.

Many times to see the network activity on my computer, I have to get up from my chair and peep behind my monitor to look at the router to see if any activity is going on. I was just searching if there was a way to monitor using the hardware indicators like keyboard LEDs. After Googling for a while I found this wonderful free tool called Network Lights that allows you to convert your keyboard Scroll Lock and Num Lock LEDs as Network activity indicators.
This utility is pretty small and works out of the box, there is no installation required. When you run this utility it sits in your system tray and immediately you will be able to see that the keyboards Scroll Lock and Num Lock LED’s are now acting as network activity indicators.
The the blink rate of the keyboard LEDs can be controlled from the
options that is provided in the program. The default blink rates is
100ms, if you intend to increase or decrease this then you can change
it from the options that is provided.
Also you can view your network statistics using this program.
This utility works in Windows XP and Windows Vista. This is pretty
useful program that I needed and has found a place for itself in my
software collections.
Those who don’t have an unlimited Internet connection has to keep
track of their bandwidth to prevent over usage. A lot of people use
desktop bandwidth monitoring softwares, but as you might have already
found out, they are far from accurate. So you always have to rely on
the data provided by your ISP. For Firefox users here are two useful
addons that will enable you to keep track of your Internet usage from
within Firefox.
The first one is Net Usage Item
that fetches usage statistics from the web page provided by the ISP and
displays a handy progress bar showing your usage in Firefox’s toolbar.
This addon is mainly targeted towards Australian ISPs. However, this
meter can be adapted for any country’s ISP who provides the data usage
in an XML feed - but that requires some knowledge on JavaScript.
Net
Usage Item supports 38 Australian ISPs and additional ISP packs are
available that adds support for a couple of ISPs from Belgium, New
Zealand, Canada, Ukraine and Indian (Reliance).
For Indian BSNL Dataone and MTNL TriBand users, there is another addon - DataFox.
DataFox fetches net usage information from the respective ISP’s web
pages and displays it as a small bar in Firefox’s status bar.
Additional information is available in the tooltip. Statusbar and
tooltip strings are completely customizable.
The
progress bar gives you an idea of the amount of bandwidth from your
monthly limit already consumed. Different color codes will alert you
whenever you over-limit for a particular day. This will help keep your
bandwidth usage in check.
