This is Windows 7 Release Candidate Build 7100.0.0:
Windows 7 Review - Picking a Product Edition
In the following chart, I've provided one sensible view of the actual Windows 7 product lineup:
Windows 7 Home Basic - This version of Windows 7 will only be sold with new low-end PCs in other countries. It targeted at emerging markets. In fact, it will not be available outside of emerging markets. So you can simply pretend it does not exist.
Windows 7 Starter - includes the basic Windows 7 feature set. You get the basic user interface, Windows Basic, but not Windows Aero, which provides the "glass" windows and Aero Desktop Enhancements such as Aero Peek, Aero Snaps, Aero Shake, Aero Background, and the like. You get Windows Search, Action Center, Windows Firewall and User Account Control (UAC), Parental Controls, Windows ReadyDrive, Windows Backup with system image capabilities (but not network-based backups), Internet Explorer 8, Windows Gadgets, Games Explorer with basic games only (FreeCell, Hearts, Minesweeper, Purble Palace, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire), and a basic set of utilities like Calculator, Paint, Windows Fax and Scan, WordPad, and XP Viewer.
Windows 7 Home Premium - Moving up to Windows 7 Home Premium, the picture improves dramatically, and I believe that most consumers will be happy with the feature set provided by this version. Windows 7 Home Premium builds on the core feature set from Windows 7 Starter, adding the wonderful Windows Aero user interface as well as all the nice Aero Desktop Enhancements that are unique to this Windows version. You get Windows Flip 3D, Live Taskbar Thumbnails, and live icon previews in Explorer. The net gain here is a user interface that is both more attractive and more efficient than the one provided with Starter. In fact, these UI improvements are, as far as I'm concerned, reason enough to upgrade. But there's more.
Windows 7 Professional - The leap from Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional is quite a bit less profound, though of course certain people will simply have to get this version because it includes key business-oriented features like support for Active Directory-based domains. Windows 7 Professional users also gain access to Windows XP Mode, a fully-licensed version of Windows XP with Service Pack 3 that runs in a virtual machine under Windows Virtual PC and lets you solve any lingering compatibility issues caused by the big upgrade to Windows 7.
Windows 7 Ultimate - Includes every single Windows 7 feature, compared to Windows 7 Professional, however, there are only a few key functional differences that apply to individuals, making this a pretty uninteresting upgrade - the BitLocker and BitLocker To Go drive encryption technologies; and Microsoft's managed corporate customers. None are particularly interesting or relevant to individuals. If you can live without that however--perhaps by using a third party disk encryption tool, then you can safely ignore Windows 7 Ultimate.

Free Process Explorer Replacement to Windows Task Manager
Windows has its own task manager for monitoring all the processes running in your PC. But the information available in Task Manager is limited. Process Explorer is a freeware and a small application which shows you more details about the process/ applications/dll and everything thats running under Windows. Process Explorer is intended for advanced users. The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in.
The capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
Here are screen prints of Process Explorer:
Download: Process Explorer is a free program created by Sysinternals for system monitoring and debugging software.

Deposit checks with your iPhone
The Internet has cut down lot of the paperwork out of banking, saved customers alot of time.
Now, the privately-held USAA Bank intends to let customers deposit checks via a pending update to the bank's iPhone app. the feature will require customers to photograph both the front and back of the check with their iPhone's camera, simply send the images to the bank via the app and presto, the check is credited to that customer's account. They can then void and destroy the paper check; it's no longer needed.

Microsoft Windows XP, Vista Tips and Tricks
Here are some tips for keeping your system up & running, problem-free:
- Defragment your hard drive monthly. This will keep application load-times down, and you will see a general improvement in system speed.
- Scan your system weekly for spyware. Useful tools to help you do this are on the Useful Software & Links:
Microsoft Windows Defender (antispyware)
Spybot Search & Destroy - a very good spyware removal tool
AVG Anti-Virus - a good antivirus program that is free for personal use!
ZoneAlarm - a firewall program (personal edition is free!)
- Don't install programs, especially free programs, that you are unsure about, and never click on any pop-ups arbitrarily! Research any programs by searching for the program name and the word "spyware" in a search engine.
- If you leave your system running constantly, set your hard drive to power-down after a period of inactivity (preferably 30 minutes), by changing the energy options of your system (available on Windows® machines under the Screen Saver settings page). This will dramatically increase the lifespan of your hard drive.
- Backup, backup, backup - in the event your hard drive fails, make sure you have all your digital photos safely stored elsewhere!
