@wguimb Your company has TAP? Is anyone else thinking what im thinking?

Yes, I searched for my company name on the page to sign up as an Individual with my Organization. It found my company, and let me register using my corporate email address (the @domain must match) and it said my registration was successful, so I am waiting for my confirmation email now.

What i meant is that it doesn't usually say "RC1", "Beta1", etc. like that.

Just wondering why, all of a sudden, it did.

Btw don't go there with "1 RC", spent a day arguing with a guy whether or not it was called "RC" or "RC1" because there wouldn't be a "RC2 :D

One problem though. It looks like a photoshop job to me. For one thing, isn't Windows 7 supposed to be kernel version 6.1 or something and not 7.0? What do you think? :)

great, no release yet and no leak. sucks we have to wait almost 3 weeks for it. i really wanted to install this sucker this weekend.

You know, people don't have to leak builds. So what that you have to wait? Get over it. That one post shows me your personality. It's more than likely that it will leak a few days before public release anyway.

So what? You are a beta tester FOR FREE and want it earlier than who pays a subscription? Get over it.

Testers are the people that are basically hired by Microsoft to report bugs, and suggestions, it makes sense for them to have builds first so that they can get bug bashing for it. Far more bug reports come out of the Tech betas that usually do out of MSDN / Technet subs

You people need to research a lot more. It's already been confirmed that it was put up by mistake and that OEM's are getting interim builds not the RC as there is no RC build to give yet because it's yet to be compiled.

This presentation is actually an error on the part of Microsoft (which l then withdrew). At the moment, only the OEM like Dell or HP customers have access to test builds. Come to graft here a few days MSDN, TechNet subscribers and testers. According my close sources team Corp, the general public will have to wait a few extra days to download Windows 7 RC 5 May 2009 , then that other sources announce the 15 May.

I don't completely disagree with you, but you have to also look at it like Microsoft is getting beta testing done for free. Besides, there are enough other perks you get with that subscription that is it hardly unfair if Microsoft just released it for all testers at the same time regardless if they have a subscription or not.

    • PDF4QT 1.6.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 by Razvan Serea PDF4QT is a free and open-source application created to provide a complete solution for working with PDF documents in a simple, flexible, and effective way. It offers all the essential tools you need to handle your files: you can view PDFs with smooth navigation, edit content, annotate pages, and highlight key sections for better collaboration. It also allows you to compare two versions of a document, making it easy to spot changes. Built-in security features give you control over protecting sensitive information and managing access. Applications PDF4QT Viewer Profi: Advanced PDF browsing with encryption, digital signature verification, annotation editing, regex text search, page-to-image conversion, and plugin support. PDF4QT Viewer Lite: Lightweight viewer with essential, user-friendly PDF viewing functions. PDF4QT DocPage Organizer: Merge, split, move, clone, or add pages easily with an intuitive interface. PDF4QT DocDiff: Compare two PDFs, highlight differences page-to-page, and export results to XML. Key Features Multithreading Support for faster PDF processing Hardware Accelerated Rendering for smooth, high-quality display Encryption to secure documents Color Management to preserve accurate color profiles Optional Content Handling to control visibility of content Text Layout Analysis for better text extraction and editing Signature Validation for verifying digital signatures Annotations and Form Filling for interactivity Text-to-Speech Conversion to listen to PDFs Advanced Annotation Tools (images, text, etc.) File Attachments Management to view and save attachments Optimization to reduce file size without losing quality Command Line Tool for automation Audio Book Conversion from PDFs Internal Structure Inspector to explore PDF structure Compare Documents to detect differences Redaction to remove sensitive information Document Signing for digital authentication PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 release notes: PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 brings a major image compression and optimization update, especially for PageMaster and assembled output documents. Image compression is now integrated into the assembly/export workflow, backed by new optimizer infrastructure, UI controls, feedback fixes, and tests. This should make PageMaster much more useful for producing smaller output PDFs directly from assembled or reorganized documents. The release also contains a large PageMaster refresh with improved drag and drop, recent files, crop pages, save/restore functionality, rotation and size indicators, a reworked icon set, and faster output preview rendering. Viewer and Editor workflows were improved with wildcard Advanced Find, Enter-to-search behavior, better outline keyboard selection, startup settings, fullscreen support, side-to-side scrolling, smoother scrolling, text selection, snapping, and expanded annotation controls. Compatibility and platform behavior were improved as well, including fixes for embedded files, fonts, checkboxes, invisible text, menu colors, highlights, XMP metadata, Windows color management, AppImage packaging, MSIX generation, installer behavior, translations, and newer compiler/Qt warnings. The commit history also includes a new scan-and-edit plugin foundation and color management performance work.

      A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
