Flock has recently released its public beta version of its Flock Browser which has integrated support for Flickr and inbuilt news reader and few more features, for an more extensive review on the browser you can read it at TechCrunch .
Though Flock browser is similar to Firefox, it still has an slight edge with a better look and feel to it but I am not going to start a comparision here.
I have been using Flock since it has released its developer version, but it has lacked the kind of extensions that is developed by the Mozilla community and will do for some time.
There are so many extensions I have become accustomed to with Firefox which are not avialable in Flock.
But now you can migrate your favorite Firefox extensions to Flock too.

I am a regular user of Putty a linux simulator for windows which allows you to use the funcionality of linux boxes within windows.
Something putty lacks though is a bridge between the windows and linux boxes.
To overcome this I have been using Cygwin which brings in a linux OS like functionality within my Windows machine, wherein I can copy files from my Windows machine to a Linux box without using a graphical interface like WinSCP or and FTP client, use linux command from within my windows machine, and lots of other linux based functionality like Vim etc.
Now for you to use Cygwin you will have to do a complete install, and mind you when I say complete install I will stress on it.
