After downloading the Windows 7 Beta I tried to upgrade my current Vista install to Windows 7. Unlike all the other reviews I read I was not that impressed.

What Windows 7 Needs
In order to help mitigate the number of times users see the UAC dialog, and isolate users from each other Microsoft should look to move in a new direction with windows 7.

Windows 7, mid-late 2009
It has been announced that the next version of Windows, Windows 7, will be released some time between June 2009 and January 2010. What will be different? Not too much, for the most part it will be like Vista, a bit more refined, but not all that different.

Adding an Extra Antenna to the FON
After cracking open my FON I noticed it had solder points for a second antenna. I happed to have a bricked wireless router (a netgear mr814) laying around, so I decided to remove its antenna and place it on the FON.
The results were excellent, the range of the FON increased by 400% to 500% by my very unscientific measurements.
