It's a painful install since Microsoft provides no direct upgrade path, but we can help. Watch this: Upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 06:06 Many of you did not upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista, but are planning to upgrade to Windows 7. How dare you leave the Microsoft upgrade path? As a punishment, you can't upgrade directly from XP to 7; you have to do what's called a clean install, which means you have to jump through some hoops to keep your old data and programs.Not to worry, we'll show you a couple ways to deal with the pain of installing Windows 7 on your XP machine. And afterward, Microsoft will forgive you your trespasses. Maybe.Before you start, do these three things.1. Run the Windows 7 upgrade adviser. It will let you know if your computer can handle any version of Windows 7.2. Check the Windows 7 compatibility center. This is different than the upgrade adviser. It will tell you if you need to update your drivers or apps to make them work in 7.3. Make a copy of your hard drive, just in case things go horribly wrong. I recommend using Macrium Reflect; it's a free download available from Download.com.OK, now you're ready to upgrade. Start by gathering all the installation files for all your applications. Windows 7 will put your data in a Windows.old file for you, but it won't reinstall your apps. Make sure you have all the CDs or if you downloaded programs, back up any install files you have on an external drive. Also don't forget to gather all the license keys either off product boxes or from e-mails. You'll want them all handy in a place outside the computer you're upgrading.The last thing before we get to the actual Windows 7 disc is to download and run the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard. This will allow you to back up all your files and settings to an external hard drive. A different one than the one you imaged earlier.Launch the wizard and make sure your external drive is plugged in. You can send your data to a network location; in this example we're choosing an external drive. The program will check for what can be transferred then give you an opportunity to password-protect the data. Finally, choose your external drive and begin the backup. You shouldn't use your computer while this process is

Conflicts or at least must make full and fair disclosure of all material conflicts of interest that could affect the advisory relationship in a sufficiently specific manner so that a client is able to decide whether to provide informed consent to the conflicts.9 In order for disclosure to be full and fair, it should be sufficiently specific so that a client is able to understand the material fact or conflict of interest and make an informed decision whether to provide consent. For example, “it would be inadequate to disclose that the adviser has ‘other clients’ without describing how the adviser will manage conflicts between clients if and when they arise, or to disclose that the adviser has ‘conflicts’ without further description.”10 Additionally, the SEC notes that stating that an adviser “may” have a particular conflict when the conflict actually exists, or simply listing all possible or potential conflicts regardless of likelihood, is not adequate. However, the word “may” could be appropriate to disclose a potential conflict that does not currently exist but might reasonably arise in the future. The SEC believes that full and fair disclosure is likely to differ for institutional clients because of their sophistication and familiarity with financial markets,11 but regardless, the disclosure must be clear and detailed enough for the particular client to make an informed decision.Informed consentA client’s informed consent can be explicit or implicit, depending on the facts, but it would run afoul of the duty of loyalty to infer or accept client consent if the adviser knew or reasonably should have known that the client did not understand the nature and import of the conflict. “For retail clients in particular, it may be difficult to provide disclosure regarding complex or extensive conflicts that is sufficiently specific, but also understandable.”12 In that circumstance, the adviser should either eliminate or adequately mitigate the conflict so that full and fair disclosure and informed consent are possible.Duty of careThe Interpretation also states that investment advisers owe a duty of care to their clients, which means an adviser must, at all times, serve the best interest of its

Obligation to update the client’s objectives would not be applicable to institutional investors except as may be set forth in the advisory agreement.In addition, an investment adviser must have a “reasonable belief” that its advice is in the best interest of the client. This reasonable belief must be based on an evaluation of the portfolio the adviser manages for the client and the client’s objectives. For example, some high risk products, such as penny stocks or other thinly traded securities, may be in a retail client’s best interest for a short time but would require daily monitoring by the adviser. Factors an adviser should consider in determining whether a security or strategy is in its client’s best interest include the cost (including fees and compensation), liquidity, risks and potential benefits, volatility, likely performance in a variety of market and economic conditions, time horizon and cost of exit. The fiduciary duty does not require an adviser to recommend the lowest cost investment product or strategy. Indeed, an adviser would expressly not satisfy its duty of care by simply advising its client to invest in the lowest cost product or strategy without any further analysis of other factors in the context of the client’s portfolio and objective. Finally, the adviser’s reasonable belief must be based on a reasonable, independent investigation into the investment so that the advice is not based on materially inaccurate or incomplete information.Duty to seek best executionThe SEC interprets the duty of care to require investment advisers to seek to obtain the execution of securities transactions on behalf of a client with the goal of maximising value (including total cost or proceeds) for the client under the particular circumstances occurring at the time of the transaction. Factors for best execution analysis include the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rate, financial responsibility and responsiveness. The SEC is clear that the “determinative factor” is not the lowest possible commission cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative decision. An adviser should periodically and systematically evaluate best execution.Duty to act and to provide advice and monitoring over the course
