10.11.2009 Microsoft's Big Bet: Win Within the Web
Although the latest version of Microsoft Windows is more than six months from shipping, company brass already have christened Vista as the best and biggest Windows release since Windows 95.
The company is making bold predictions, claiming Vista will be preloaded on as many as 200 million new personal computers in the first 24 months that the product is available. Windows 95 shipped on a mere 67 million new PCs during its first two years. These numbers are important. The prospects of nearly every product Microsoft makes ride on maintaining the ubiquity of Windows, which has in excess of 90 percent of the PC operating system market. It's been five years since the current Windows version was released, and Windows XP now is looking rather dated.

However, the analyst firm warned that the risk remains of consumers perceiving these devices as just very expensive feature phones.
In-Stat noted that a major problem affecting the appeal of smartphones is that many users do not download applications that make them more useful after they leave the store.

28.7.2009Windows 7 RC completed, build 7100
Company insiders and Wzor have confirmed that 7100 is the official Windows 7 RC build. 7100.0.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700 was compiled on Tuesday and
has reportedly been handed out to OEM partners and TAP gold customers. Earlier this month we reported that build 7077 had leaked online and that
Microsoft were pushing towards a 7100 RC release. Microsoft recently published details about a public RC due for May 5th. We expect MSDN/TechNet
customers to receive the bits within the next week if the company is still targeting May 5th. According to reports, 7115.0.winmain.090421-1650 is the
latest build internally at the time of writing.

23.04.2009Windows 7 build 7077 leaks
According to several reports from Neowin members, Windows 7 build 7077 has leaked to various torrent sites. Named as an RC escrow build it's
likely that 7077.0.090404-1255 is the RC that will be modified to 7100 and distributed widely in May. Microsoft confirmed the 7100 path yesterday on
its Engineering Windows 7 blog by advising users to modify the MinClient build number from 7100 to 7000 in order to enable beta to RC upgrades. It is
now expected that Microsoft will name 7100 as the RC build and builds 7105 onwards will be the ongoing development branched towards RTM.

this could be the build that would be "renamed" to 7100 for the RC. It appears that isn't the case and Microsoft has built 7078.0.090406-1758
and 7079.0.090407-1902 over the last few days. We still expect Microsoft to name the RC build shortly and all bets are on 7100. Last month Microsoft
hinted at a May public release for the RC.

Windows 7 RC gets its first bug, and it's a doozy
The first documented bug in the Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) is a doozy.
Yesterday, Microsoft published Knowledge Base article 970789, which provides details of a problem that affects the 32-bit (x86)
English-language version of Windows 7 build 7100. The problem, in short, is that the installer incorrectly sets access control lists (ACLs) on the
root of the system drive. The longer version is described as follows...

Michael Dell: Vista will win out in two years
Despite research that found Vista uptake among businesses is slowing, Michael Dell has predicted that most companies will migrate to the OS within two
years.
Dell's chief executive has predicted that most of his company's business customers will migrate to Vista by 2009.
Speaking to journalists at Gartner's ITxpo Symposium in Orlando, Florida last week, Michael Dell said: "We have a number who have gone to Vista, and almost all are planning to go to Vista: some in 2008, and some in 2009. As they take on new IT
deployments with new hardware features, Vista will be much better supported."
However, Dell's assertions run contrary to
research published earlier in October by market research company Context, which found that Vista sales for business machines were slowing.

AMD Reveals Phenom Model Numbers
AMDs latest roadmap reveals
the companys model numbers for
the performance and mainstream
Phenom X4 and X2 processors.
Despite AMD issuing model
numbers, the clock speeds are
still ballpark figures and not
yet set in stone. AMD has two
Phenom X4 and three X2 models
planned. Three of the models
are set for a Q42007
launch.
The
Agena-based Phenom X4
processors carry the GP-7xxx
model number. There will be
two Phenom X4 GP-7xxx
processors at launch “ the
GP-7100 and the GP-7000. AMD
plans to clock the Phenom X4
GP-7100 from 2.2-to-2.4 GHz.
The Phenom X4 GP-7100 has a
3600 MHz HyperTransport 3.0,
or HT3, bus speed. The lesser
Phenom X4 GP-7000 has a
targeted clock speed between
2.0-to-2.2 GHz and a lesser
HT3 bus speed in excess of
3200 MHz. The two quad-core
processors will have 89-watt
thermal ratings.
AMD plans to launch one
Phenom X2 GP-6xxx model by the
end of the year. The Phenom X2
GP-6550 joins the Phenom line
up next quarter clocked
somewhere between 2.0-to-2.4

Revised IE7 Naming in Windows
Vista
Below I have quoted an article
written on the IE Blog;
"I had mentioned a
while back that we planned to
call the version of IE7 in
Windows Vista "Internet
Explorer 7+".
Well, the feedback we got on
the blog was overwhelming ?
many of you didn't like it.
So, as we've said on our
website, we heard you. I'm
pleased to announce that
we're switching the name back
to "Internet Explorer 7". No
plus. No dot x. Just
"Internet Explorer 7".
Specifically, here
are the official full
names:
-For
Windows XP: "Windows Internet
Explorer 7 for Win XP"
-For Windows Vista:
"Windows Internet Explorer 7
in Win Vista"

Windows 7 Release Candidate goes public... Oops
Tired of waiting for Microsoft to release the first (and likely only) release candidate of Windows 7? No worries, you can go and snatch it up now...
via torrents. Earlier today, build 7100 of Windows 7, the official Release Candidate build, leaked to the public.
While no new visual
elements stand out from previous builds, UI changes should no longer be expected this late in the game. Any changes from this point on will be, for
the most part, behind the scenes. One notable change however is Microsoft's decision to revert back to the previous active tile design for the
taskbar, as found in build 7068, as it no longer features the white hazy glow behind the icon.
The official release date of Windows 7 RC
is expected to be May 5th for the public, and slightly earlier for TechNet and MSDN subscribers.
Have you found anything new in this
build? Share it with us in our community forums...
Update: Microsoft now says the RC will be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers on
April 30th.
