How many times have you discovered that your hard disk is filling up even though you are not installing any applications.  You think ‘do I really have that much data’, or you store your data on a separate drive from your OS and applications (something we recommend to all clients and friends) and cannot understand why your OS or application drive keeps filling up.

Chances are its because of the applications themselves either downloading content into it’s application directory, or it uses the windows ‘Application Data’ directory to store temporary or cached data, some cases even permanent data remains in these directories.

A good example of this is Google Earth that keeps it’s cache database in your Apps Data directory, and can easily exceed several gigabytes in size.

Or maybe you love the convenience of the “My Documents” directory and accessing it directly from the start menu, but don’t have enough room for your data.

Microsoft has announced Windows 7 is now open for public download.

There are many conditions and it’s a timed-beta common with many Windows beta products. You will require a Windows Live ID to connect to the download site, submit a bit of personally identifiable information, and you will then be given a download choice for 32 bit or 64 bit. I chose both. Then you will be given a java download manager which will then provide you with a location for saving the ISO’s for each download.

You will then need to be able to burn DVD ISO’s in order to get any use from this. Instructions are available on the download page, but I highly recommend that you also review the Installation instructions.

So head on over to the Windows Beta site before the beta download experience is over!!
