Yesterday I downloaded build 7201 of Windows 7. The leaked build is from winmain_win7ids_sp IDX Client and Server branch, which has been said to be RC2 (Release Candidate 2). In fact, it’s Internal Developer build which may have more bugs than the RC.

Windows 7 Release Candidate Announcement

Thank you very much for your help in testing the Windows 7 Beta. Your feedback is invaluable in helping make Windows 7 a high quality operating system. With your help, we have reached the next major milestone on the journey to Windows 7: the Release Candidate (RC).

-
On April 30th, the RC became available to MSDN subscribers and TechNet Plus subscribers.
-
On Tuesday, May 5 (PST), the RC will be available to everyone via our Customer Preview Program. As with the Beta, the Windows 7 RC Customer Preview Program is a broad public program that offers the RC free to anyone who wants to download it. It will be available at least through June 30, 2009, with no limits on the number of downloads or product keys available.
So you don’t need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you’re ready to download the RC, it’ll be waiting for you.

To get the RC please use one of the following links:

IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 7 Beta you’ll need to back up your data (preferably on an external device) and then do a clean install of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. After installing Windows 7, you will need to reinstall applications and restore your files. If you need help with the installation process, please see the Installation Instructions.

If you’re running Windows Vista, you can install Window 7 RC without having to back up and reinstall your programs and data. But to be on the safe side, please do backup your data before you start.

Please note: All users of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (including Windows Vista users who have upgraded to the Release Candidate) must do a clean installation of Windows 7 RTM. Please keep this is mind as you consider downloading the Release Candidate as opposed to waiting for the general availability release.

Thanks again for your help in reaching this important milestone. We hope that you will join us in testing the RC and finishing Windows 7!

Things have been quite interesting recently for myself. My job search has been getting a lot more positive with a few interviews done and applications made. Being unemployed for such a long time is really getting me down but I have been motivated and energized by attending Action 4 Employment each week. They have given me great advice and guidance on interview technigues, application forms, letter writing etc. I think this has really improved things for myself. Also attending this course has given me something else. A beautiful young woman who has quite literally changed my life. Words cannot really get across exactly how happy I am with her, but I honestly have never been this happy for a very long time. It’s possible she is reading this also, so thank you!

My blog has been neglected for a while now but I do intend to write more regularly. Hope to see you all soon!

Ah, netbooks… everybody is making them – cue Psion lawyers – and everyone wants one. Yet despite the stiff competition, Acer and Asus combined own around 70 per cent of the market. So what are the rest of them doing so wrong? Not distinguishing themselves well enough, if the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e is anything to go by.

This is part 1 in a 3 part series.

Since the S10 has no built in optical drive, and not everyone has a USB DVD drive, a flash drive installation is a good alternative. Please watch the ENTIRE video before attempting ANYTHING!

NC20

It has been rumoured for a while that the upcoming NC20 netbook from Samsung will be powered by the VIA Nano processor, and this has now been confirmed in a press release by VIA. The Samsung NC20 will be powered by the VIA Nano U2250 which clocks at a respectable 1.3GHz on an 800MHz FSB. Now some people will see this as being slower than the Intel Atom found in Samsungs NC10 netbook, but the VIA Nano is said to be more efficient and faster at performing some tasks. It remains to be seen if this is the case.

The NC20 will be priced at £379 with some retailers receiving stock by next week.

I get a strange feeling that I’ve seen Nvidias new card before, and I’m not the only one. Turns out that Nvidia have been a little bit naughty and have renamed the 9800 GTX+ as the GTS 250. The GPU is exactly the same, but the card now has 1Gb of DDR3 RAM and only needs one power connector.

Some of you may also remember that the 9800 GTX+ was not exactly a new card either. It was a rename of the 8800 GTS with slightly higher clock speeds and support for 3-way SLI and Hybrid SLI.

The GTS 250 (aka 9800 GTX+, aka 8800 GTS) is set to be launched at around £100.
