How to synchronize directories in Windows 7

without comments

I’ve been trying to find a utility similar to SilverKeeper for the Mac for Windows. After a quick search on Windows.com, I found my answer!

There’s tool called SyncToy 2.1. The brief description reads:

SyncToy 2.1 is a free application that synchronizes files and folders between locations. Typical uses include sharing files, such as photos, with other computers and creating backup copies of files and folders.

The tool was originally written for Windows Vista, but works like a charm in 7.

Windows 7 Upgrade Special

without comments

Cool – from June 26 to October 22, Microsoft is running an upgrade special to Windows 7. There doesn’t seem to be a special for upgrading to Ultimate.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade – $49.99 (normally $119.99)
  • Windows 7 Professional Upgrade – $99.99 (normally $199.99)

I really wish that Microsoft would adopt the Apple upgrade for Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Mac OS X Leopard owners can upgrade for $29. Despite that, I’m going to do the W7 Professional Upgrade…
