Kelly Poe has set the interwebs ablaze with his petition to get M$ to unzip their pants and let the Windows 7 Monster emerge (don’t bother emailing me, I know that metaphor makes no sense.) Seems like Kelly (and many others) feel that Windows 7 is… well… done and that it should be released [...]

I don’t mind multiple sku’s. But it seems that a lot of people REALLY hate anything more than… 1. It was leaked that Windows 7 would have 6 different versions, much in the vein of Vista. Really all consumers are going to see are basic and premium. Starter will be preinstalled in netbooks, and the [...]

Engadget had a GREAT article rounding up some popular Windows 7 Reviews, and they have been very positive! It seems like people are rather shocked at how good it is! Keep in mind some of them are mac fanboys, but kudos to them for checking it out. Check it out HERE!

Microsoft’s MONSTER booth at CES was pretty incredible, and they showed off some pretty cool stuff (although some of us were expecting a bit more *see: Zune Phone). The demos were interesting (albeit terribly acted), and they really showcased M$ dedication to becoming the platform for everyone. It’s sad to see Billy Gates gone, [...]

Engadget had a pretty cool tour of M$ CES booth this year in Vegas. The Keynote was a little underwhelming this year, as we were all kind of hoping for a Zune Phone (although they fervently denied its existence) or some hidden features in the Windows 7 Beta. Balmer still did his thing [...]

Looks like M$ sent out the invites for Beta 1, unfortunately, it is going to be a little while longer. The confusion was based on this: Invites to beta testers were SENT OUT on December 16th but that is just to get the testers re-acquainted. The actual release of Beta 1 (aside from the [...]

Seems like everyone is on the bandwagon now for the upcoming windows 7 release. Most companies are starting to realize how many people are getting their hands on the upcoming Windows 7 and have started to roll out drivers (although the Vista drivers will work, they Windows 7 ones offer better preformance and stability).
