Windows 8 General Tips, Shotcuts and How to's

Its been two days since the release of Windows 8 Consumer preview, and if you look at the the Windows 8 reviews so far you will notice that initial reactions of consumers have not been so good for Microsoft. Start Menu is gone and many controls are moved to the new start screen. It might take users some time to get used to it, and doing basic tasks such as shutting down your pc has become a little confusing.

While it was  possible to disable Metro UI to only work on the desktop in Developer Preview, with recent changes, it is currently not possible. All the tools that worked in the Developer Preview are not working right now. 

So when others are still complaining about Metro, here are some How to's, Tips, and features of Windows 8 that you may not know about.

Dual Boot Windows 8 Without Partitioning your HD

Windows 8 consumer preview is scheduled to be released today, that's on February 29, so if you already have Windows 7 installed and you want to try out the new Windows 8, but you aren't ready to format since Windows 8 is still in beta and the chances are that there are some things that are broken.

Then here is the guide on how to get all the goodness of Windows 8 (I'm using Windows 8 Developer preview here) along side Windows 7 without partitioning or formatting your hard disk drive. The only thing that is required in order to dual boot is a hard drive with at least 20 Gigs of free space. All you have to do is create a Virtual Hard Drive using Windows 7 and Install Windows 8 on it using Powershell.

Convert Torrent Into Direct Download

Torrents, a great way to get what you want over Internet(best place for pirated content). Almost every thing right from movies, songs, softwares to e-books is available on torrents. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and it has been estimated that it accounted for roughly 43% to 70% of all Internet traffic (depending on geographical location) as of February 2009.
The only drawback of the protocol is its very much dependent on the seeders, that is the users or servers from which the complete files are distributed.



BitLet offers an interesting alternative to downloading torrents directly to a local computer service. It basically works like this. The user adds a torrent file to the system. Bitlet then uses its server to make it available for download as direct http to the user of its service

My Take on Windows 8

Windows 8 is the next version of the Microsoft Windows computer operating system following  Windows 7. In December 2011, Microsoft held an event in San Francisco in which Microsoft announced that the public beta will be released sometime in February 2012, along with the Windows Store Beta.
With the Developer Preview having been made publicly available back in mid-September, at the time it was downloaded in huge numbers and it’s been interesting reading blogs from tech journalists who have been using it in anger. You might have also tried it and then soon got rid of it. If you haven't tried it yet you can get a copy from Microsoft Windows website here.

Your PC is getting slow? Try these

Many computer users have the impression that their systems become just a little bit slower with every day of use. Software installations, updates and even user actions on the PC can turn a powerful PC into a painfully slow system that is no pleasure to work with.

No matter how careful you are as computer user, your system will eventually require maintenance and optimization tasks in order to keep it's performance at the top.


System Optimization ? really?
Not again.
I know how that is done, some registry cleaner, defragger and junk file cleaner, and blah blah...
