Today is October 22nd and Microsoft Windows 7 if officially releasing. 

I have been using it for last few months and I like it. Based on my experience, Windows 7 is all about “how you feel about it”. Windows 7 make you feel that it is better then Windows Vista. Better in boot time, better in look (sidebar, background, screens & graphics), better in performance, better in functionality and better in compatibility with other applications and hardware.

Windows 7 already made some landmark records in sales for example it has become the biggest pre-order item in Amazon (ref Amazon: Windows 7 is 'the biggest pre-order product of all time).

“New operating system sold more copies in the first eight hours of its release in July than Vista did in its entire pre-order period.”

Also

Windows 7 has beaten boy wizard Harry Potter to become the biggest pre-order product of all time in the UK, says Amazon.

Google Chrome Error - Ah, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage

Many users are facing following error when they try to load the new Google Chrome Browser. Due to this error they could not use Google Chrome browser on their machine.

To continue, press Reload or go to another page." Following is a screen shot of the error. Error message asks to reload the or go to another page but no matter what they do, they still see this error message. Thanks to Rupesh Bhochhibhoya for solution to this problem. As per him, this problem is most probably because of anti-virus. The solution I learn is: goto properties of browser shortcut then append --no-sandbox on target line.
