There has been a lot of talk about Windows 8 recent, as it was announced that Windows Store will be integrated into all Microsoft products including Windows 8. However, when this was announced they accidently released that the Windows 8 beta will be available in late February 2012. Obviously Microsoft is yet to officially confirm this, but it is nearly 100% accurate.
This release date is much less consistent with a August or September release, so we are expecting Windows 8 to be officially released January 2013 (as seen with Windows Vista).
Ubuntu 11.10 is now in beta and we have some official screenshots.
Microsoft has just launched the second preview for their IE10. Internet Explorer 10 is a solid upgrade from IE9, but there arent too many aesthetic changes.
IE10 supports CSS3 Positioned Floats, HTML5 Drag-drop, File Reader API, Media Query, Listeners and initial support for HTML5 Forms.
IE10 will only work on Windows 7, so you will need to upgrade if you are still running Vista or XP.

Fences found here is a simple program that you download and install and then your desktop looks brand new. Fences allows you to make boxes on your desktop to organize you files and folders. You can label each box and make it as big or as small as you would like. It also has a couple prebuilt boxes so if you don’t wanna make a design it will do it for you. Another cool features is that if anything ever happens to your desktop you could restore it if you saved it prior. It does any auto save before fences is installed. One way it helps you is if you double click on your desktop it will hide all the icons and boxes. You can choose which boxes/files you do and don’t wanna hide. The last neat feature is that you can change the color of the boxes and even the transparency. All in all if you desktop is messy your gonna want this. There is a free version and a paid but I am fine with the free version since the paid doesn’t offer much else.

Sometime they will ofter a program for free for more then one day or offer 2 programs one day but this is really rare. You can also submit your program to go on their site. They also have another site that gives away a game every day. Although they do not offer a game every day it is still good to get free games sometimes. Check Game Give Away Of The Day out Here.
