Introduction
This Sunday I upgraded my DELL Latitude | D830 from Windows Vista Business 64 bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
The build version is Windows 7 Beta Build 7000. I ran an upgrade to test how well the setup would play with my currently installed applications and configuration settings. My expectations we met and in some cases exceeded. For example, soon after launching the setup a compatibility checker was launched. This screen scanned my current OS (Vista) to make sure all installed applications were compatible with Windows 7. Next, the upgrade checked if any updates were available and...

Issue:
Regular Expression are quite power especially for validation purposes. Classic examples include password and email validation. However, regular expressions are usually something developers get to work then forget about. I don't work with regular expression everyday so I don't bother memorizing the syntax. So when I do need to use a regular expression in code I usually end up searching the web for an example.
Solution:
A coworker here at SpringPoint Technologies turned me on to Expresso, a free regular expressions authoring tool.
