Windows 7 Edition Switcher lets you change your ISO from Home to Ultimate

A lot of techy types weren't too excited when Microsoft changed the Windows 7 ISO. Beta and RC versions lumped all the versions on one DVD.

Heck, this was one big thing I thought Microsoft did right with Windows Vista. I had one DVD and I could load any of the 39 different versions using the same disc. Windows 7 ISOs and DVDs? Not so much. They're single-version.

Frustrated techs are never content to sit back and deal with annoyances - like the developer behind Windows 7 ISO Edition Switcher. Download the free, portable app and you can easily convert any Windows 7 ISO to the version you need. Sure, it's pretty easy to do this by editing a text file but Switcher is about as painless as the process can get.

Pick the patch file you need from the ones included in the zip, pick your ISO, and presto! Patched ISO, ready to burn.

AVG 7.5 Free Edition released

AVG Free Edition 7.5What Anti-Virus software do you use? McAfee, Symantec, or one of the wide-spread commercially available AV programs? Perhaps you are a bit more savvy and you use something else, Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender, Windows Defender, or F-Secure. If you use AVG Free Edition (which includes an email scanner and free daily virus definition updates), a new upgrade is out now, version 7.5, which is a major update to the very-good AV system brought to you by Grisoft. I've been using AVG and have had my parents, friends, and family using AVG for several years now. I find that it has everything I want, and not much I don't want. If you need a new AV client or a good one that installs quick and updates itself for someone you know (like grandma), AVG really isn't bad. If you have a free Anti-Virus client you like better than AVG, I would love to find out why.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
