Windows 7 RC – Update

After a couple weeks of using the RC I’ve gone back to Vista. That’s right, Vista at this point in time is better. I would rather be running the Beta of 7 than the RC. Don’t get me wrong it looks promising but it’s just not functional. Well it is if you don’t plan on using any new devices or plugging you keyboard or mouse into a different USB port. The RC has problems recognizing new devices or devices that were not plugged in when the OS was installed. For example, I tried plugging a USB Flash drive in so I could get some drivers for another computer so I could finish setting it up. I put the flash drive in and waited and waited and waited…. Nothing, Windows just sat there trying to install the device. I then tried it on another RC machine same thing. Needless to say I was annoyed and put the project on hold for a while. I continued doing other work for about 45 minutes when I was alerted by Windows that my device was ready to use. Forty-Five minutes!!!

Yup, the title pretty much says it all. Oh what? You want to know where you can download it from? Well unless you have a MSDN or TechNet Plus subscription you’re going to have to wait until May 5th to get your hands on the RC. Here’s the links!
If you’re an MSDN subscriber then click here!
If you’re a TechNet Plus subscriber then click here!
Everyone else can just wait until May 5th and then goto these websites.
MSDN Windows 7 Customer Preview site.
TechNet Windows 7 Customer Preview site.
General Windows 7 Customer Preview site.
Now, if this whole process seems just a little too complicated to make it worth the trouble then I HIGHLY suggest going to www.ubuntu.com and trying that out!

Pointless Rants Episode #3
We’re on iTunes! Yay!
Would you go to a Microsoft store to see all their toys in action?
Apparently the term “Netbook” was trademarked a long time ago by a company called Psion.
sIFR and CSS Zen Garden are awesome.
Why are baby-boomer’s on Facebook all of a sudden?
