Expand combined taskbar buttons in windows 7 as in Vista and XP

I have installed the Window 7 beta from Microsoft and started dating with the new Windows buddy. Its pretty cool and performing well compared to other Windows versions. In Windows 7, by default if you minimize the multiple applications windows, it will get combined with one taskbar button corresponding to the type of the application window.

But in Windows Vista and XP, when application windows are minimized it will get combined only when the taskbar is full. You can do the same on Windows 7 also, for more convenience. You need to right click on the taskbar and click "Properties", and select the "Taskbar" tab. Select the drop down menu corresponding to the Taskbar buttons and choose "Combine when taskbar is full". Press OK to apply the changes.

Chrome Reflection: Google Paints its Favicon with Colors

After making the Big G to a small g favicon, now Google team has changed its favicon to reflect the colors in Google letters. The new favicon can also be visualized as the colored version of the small g, by painting the different sections in the small g favicon with the colors  in Google letters.

Any way the new favicon has given more visual appeal to the Google search home page, especially when it is residing in the tabbed browser windows.

I feel that this color change could be a reflection of Chrome, the browser from Google's stable.

Get Free Open Solaris CD from Sun Microsystems

Sun Microsystems is giving free Open Solaris CDs to its registered users for free. Even though Solaris is being used in servers, still it could not win the heart of desktop users.

I strongly feel that university and college students must give a try on Open Solaris to experience its features and performance. Hope the free Open Solaris CD initiative from Sun would bring more Open Solaris users as well as community contributors.
