Hi
I was thinking about all of the people who post and complain about not getting a Windows 7 disk with their computer.
I just answered one yesterday from someone who wanted to hack the restore partition and remove all the bloatware because they didn't have a disk to do a clean install of...
Hi
I beta tested Windows 7 and it was a lot of fun.
I ran it dual boot with XP, but once I installed 7 I almost never went back.
I'm a chronic beta tester anyway, I've beta tested more online games then I can remember going back to the original Asheron's Call.
Last year I did DC Universe and...
Over the last few months, Chinese site cnBeta's been busy dishing out alleged screenshots of Windows 8 at its infancy, though few have caught our attention until this new batch came along. Assuming this isn't the work of some cruel joke, it appears that Microsoft's next flagship OS will be...
It's always fun to talk to Dean Hachamovitch about IE. This conversation is no exception except for how early we filmed and that Dean and Ryan Gavin are joined, since it took place at that magical hour between exiting night and breaking day, by the team unicorn named Frank, who doesn't like to...

Not too long ago, I posted a thread in the Coffeehouse asking for your IE9 questions for Dean Hachamovitch, VP of Engineering for Internet Explorer. Thank you for asking such great questions, Niners! We didn't have time cover all of them, but we did manage to get through several of them (and...

I just got an e-mail that Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is now available for download in Release Candidate form.
I'm a big fan of Beta Testing I did Windows 7 and a lot of games but this time I find I'm kind of reluctant to jump in.
My computer is running so good I hate to mess with it.
I'm...
Microsoft began the second beta test of a key virtualization tool this week, with the aim of helping to ease the way for corporate customers who are held back from migrating to Windows 7 by incompatibilities with required older applications. Version 2 of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Enterprise...
When you have a Ferrari you might want to test drive it on a circuit, where there are none of the limitations of a town street. Well, when you have Internet Explorer 9 Beta you need a “circuit” on which to test it, something more than just your average Internet websites, applications and...

Starting April 27, Volume Licence Partners will be able to download the final version of Microsoft Office 2010. The reason for this is that it’s reached the RTM stage, ie, release to manufacturing.
The order of which Microsoft [MSFT] will launch the...
Well folks, it's not often you see me start a thread in the support forum. But in my lazy days, I just don't feel like looking around for a solution myself.
The problem is a long delay after login. I login, and then it takes 30+ seconds for my PC to be ready to use. The only start-up programs...

I been playing this for about a week now, and it's coming along quite nicely from the look of it. The character creation is pretty decent, for the two factions currently available, lots of nice tweaks although I think its a bit of a cheek to charge game credits to change your avatar at a later...

Similar to previous external beta service pack rollouts, Microsoft has enabled – via updates you already installed – a beta ‘candidacy check’ within its Windows Update software. Link Removed - Invalid URL, a registry key and value pair need to be added prior to being...
Can someone explain how technet works? I called them and asked the same question. A very helpful lady told me I could download an ISO of any of the MS software up to 10 times and that each ISO has 10 activation keys. That makes 100 copies for my own use of each of their software titles. Is...

Okay, when I decided I wanted to use Windows 7 the only thing in my way was Windows Media Player 12. I love WMP11, a lot of people hate it, but I love the way you can navigate your music in it. When I tried the beta I tried WMP12 and hated it, I was sure they would have it running nicely later...

Since I have been beta testing Win 7 Ultimate and now have RC1 as my OS, I would like to be able to just purchase a license for it and prevent the expiration in August 2010.
Is there any difference between RC1 & OEM or store bought Win 7?
If not, can I just buy the new license & some how apply...
While Windows 7 is generally better accepted compared to Vista's launch all those years ago, that doesn't mean the latest operating system from Microsoft is trouble free.
Word has it that Microsoft is already looking to roll out its first beta of Service Pack 1 to testers by December 2009, with...
I am running Windows 7 beta, testing to see if the product is right for a client. The client has an Epson 3800 photo printer and uses the print preview function. I have installed the latest printer driver for Windows 7, the latest NVidia driver available (ver. 8.17) and the system blacks out...
