I’ve been using software for a very long time. In this long time I’ve seen excellent, bad, awful, useless and buggy software to name a few!

Besides, as a Computer Engineer I can smell good software from 10 miles. The reason of writing this post is a piece of a wonderful software that I came across since installing Windows 7 [ yes, I've installed Windows 7 and I've become a fan!]. And no, it is not Windows 7.

After I installed Win 7, I wanted to connect my iPod touch to my laptop via Internet Connection Sharing. Previously, I could only do so if my router was connected or I was lucky enough to get it connected via my older laptop running XP.

But then I came across a piece of a wonderful software specially tailor-made for Windows 7 which instantly makes my Win 7 installed laptop a Wi-Fi hotspot. It is called Connectify.me – and its FREE!

Before you do anything, I ask you to go and download the software [only works for Windows 7] and it does everything by itself.

I really wish that every piece of software ever made was this useful specially for the price tag that it comes with!

Now I don’t have to buy an expensive router. I can just start Connectify.me and anyone can share my network with anyone I wish by giving them the permission in the form of a password to connect to the hotspot!
