Windows Weekly 116: Bring On The Bugs

by Jonathan Downin in TechJuly 24th, 2009 @ 8:09 pm

Windows WeeklyWindows 7 is finished and in the hands of PC manufacturers.  This sounds good, but unfortunately it won’t be commercially available until October.  You can always still grab the release candidate though.

If you ever doubted that Paul knows what he is talking about when it comes to Windows, consider this, he has the screens and button presses of the Windows 7 install memorized.  This means he can basically do a full Windows 7 install, from scratch, without looking at the screen.  That speaks volumes not only about him, but also about the simplicity of the Windows 7 install.

Office 2010 is going to the cloud.  This means a Google Docs style implementation of Microsoft Office.  Also, it will run equally well in IE, Firefox and Safari.  This will offer amazing convenience.  Microsoft is doing a lot to win people over again with this and Windows 7.

Windows 7 RTM, Windows 7 E, Home Server Power Pack 3, Chrome OS, and more.

  • Windows 7 RTM is done, OEMs have it now, MSDN/Technet get it August 6th, and you can get it October 22nd.
