@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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
