Video Tutorial — How To Dual Boot Win7
Want To Try Windows 7 RC? Don’t Delete Your Current OS — Dual Boot
Ever since I posted A Tech’s First Impression of Windows 7 RC, I have been asked questions about deleting the existing operating system to install Windows 7. So I want to be very, very clear — you do NOT want to delete your current, functioning Windows XP or Windows Vista installation, and then put Windows 7 on your machine.
Windows 7 is a beta. And it will “expire”. Those two facts preclude it from being your main operating system.
What you do want to do, is create a new partition and install Windows 7 there, and create a “dual boot” setup. This allows you to keep your old AND try the new. This brief tutorial from C/Net shows you just how to do this.. and how easy it is.

CNet’s Webware 100
Readers excited about “Web 2.0″, SaaS, “online apps”, and/or “cloud computing” (oh.. almost forgot, “hosted services”) might like to cast their vote for their favorite cloudware apps on C/Net’s Webware 100: The official 2009 kickoff.
To read the article, cast a vote, or see last year’s 100 winners, click here.
“They’re back! Just as they did in 2007 and 2008, the 2009 Webware 100 Awards will honor the people’s choice for the best Web 2.0 apps and services. Last year, nearly 2 million votes were cast to determine the most popular Web apps. This year, the apps are better and the market is even more competitive, so we expect a vigorous contest.”

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
