15.4.2008Windows 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.

RC build was 7100 and according to many Neowin members the x86 version has leaked just a short time ago. We expect the RC will be available to the
public shortly and Redmond could still hit the rumored May 5th date. There is speculation the software giant will hold off until May 15th, the last
day of Tech-Ed 2009.

Reports: Windows 7 has reached build 7079
Wzor is once again reporting that the Windows 7 winmain_win7rc branch has reached 7079. Yesterday build 7077 leaked via BitTorrent and we speculated
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...

Hack into a Windows PC; with Winlockpwn.
A security consultant, Adam Boileau, based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds, via a Firewire port,
without the need for a password.
With this tool, called Winlockpwn, one could "unlock locked Windows machines or login without a password
... merely by plugging in your Firewire cable and running a command".
The hack, which affects Windows XP computers but has not yet been
tested with Windows Vista, was first demonstrated, at a security conference in Sydney in 2006, but Microsoft has yet to develop a fix. But now that a
couple of years have passed and the issue has not resolved, Boileau, decided to release the tool on his website.

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.

AMD Reveals Phenom Model Numbers
AMDs latest roadmap reveals
the companys model numbers for

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

Microsoft Silently Rolls Out Anti-Hack Update For Vista
The release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 not only heralded a long-awaited update of the operating system, it also meant the end of two common
Windows Vista anti-activation exploits - the Grace Timer exploit and the Paradox OEM BIOS activation crack. But those who think they can escape by not
updating to Service Pack 1 would be sadly mistaken.
That's because Microsoft has surreptitiously released an anti-hack detection update
via Windows Update. Those who chose to have Windows Vista install updates automatically would have this update installed and running by now. If you
chose to manually select updates to be installed, you should find this update listed.

24 hours to create new applications based on Yahoo's application programming interfaces (APIs) and technology.
This was the
third in a series of Open Hack Day held over the

New UK police powers to hack without a warrant
To the outrage of civil liberties groups and the government opposition, the UK Home Office has begun permitting police and MI5 officers to hack
("remote search") people's computers without their knowledge and without a court warrant. Information gleaned can then be shared with other
European forces, in line with a shift in EU policy. The goal, as with all such moves, is to track down terrorists, paedophiles, and cybercriminals.
One method for stealth surveillance involves installing spyware on targetted individuals' computers, normally by sending people emails with
infected attachments. This can, of course, be done from anywhere. Another method entails hacking directly into people's wifi networks from close
range.
