So nice of Microsoft to add this feature in Windows 7.

Just right click on a ISO image and select ‘Burn Disc Image’, Windows 7 burns the image onto a blank disc.

No third party softwares needed.

Finally finished downloading Windows 7 and installed it on my Dell. Went with replacing Windows Vista.   For a Beta release Windows 7 feels far more stable and responsive than Windows Vista SP1. It even boots faster than Vista.

Some random things about Windows 7:

1. The first thing I did was turn off UAC but apparently that has a side effect. Desktop gadgets cannot be used without turning on UAC. Don’t know why.
2. If you are beta testing Windows 7, be sure to read this great list of 30 Windows 7 secrets by Tim Sneath. Its a seriously great article about some cool things that are present in Windows 7.
3. If you are annoyed by the Send Feedback link present on all windows, use this simple registry hack from Tech Recipes to get rid of that.
4. Love the desktop slideshow feature of Windows 7. Just select a folder containing wallpapers and specify a rotation interval, Windows 7 will rotate the wallpapers. Earlier people used to downloaded third party software for doing this.
5. Windows 7 includes DivX support in Windows Media Player. So codec packs are not needed more.
