It’s possible, for example, to download the ISO of a Linux distribution or another piece of software to the desktop, double-click to “mount” the file, and run the setup executable without having to physically burn the ISO to disc.

o brave new world that has such features in it

Tapping in passwords on a tablet, even using Microsoft’s excellent soft keyboard, is hardly ideal. Picture passwords are an inventive alternative.

Select a photo from your library, make three gestures with your finger on the chosen photo – tapping each of your children in alphabetical order, for example, or swiping across three letters in a picture of fridge magnets – and that becomes your Windows login. Picture passwords can be used with both touchscreens and mouse controls.

this is like a rejected MS Bob feature. "no, that's too insecure, let's just reset the password after 5 failed attempts instead"

Does anyone know any good 3rd part media streaming software for Windows 7? There's a PS3 in the house and I'd love to just stream my movies/tv/music folders, but I don't want to drag everything away from their custom folders into the Windows Libraries stuff. If there's a way to just add folders or shortcuts to WMP, I haven't found it.

I mean, the most customizable thing about WMP is that I can choose it to sort stuff via genre or stars or other such BS. I want to just say "This folder, D:\My Music, stream the damn thing!"
