This site is hosted for Microsoft by arvato digital services.

? 2009 This site is maintained by or for one of the following Microsoft Corporation affiliates: Microsoft Licensing, GP, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, or Microsoft (China) Co. Limited, and the applicable entity is referred to as “Microsoft” throughout this site

Probably just announcement of upgrade program for software or anytime upgrade.

Of course we predict things correctly. How dare you doubt our supreme foresight? :shiftyninja:

wo!!wo!!wo!!wo!! :o

Wait until June 26, if win7 did RTM, then you'd get my salute.

Good find (Y)

Actually the credit goes to segobi in 7F, but I guess the poor guy got hypnotized by that avatar and sort of acted slow lol. :laugh:

I think this is just going to be about the upgrade program which will give people, who buy new Windows Vista computers, a chance to upgrade for free.

It looks VERY Windows 9x styled...

True, but then so does the official Windows 7 website, as it looks exactly like that :)

Site registered to "Microsoft Licensing GP" in Reno, NV? Hosted on a German server belonging to Bertelsmann Media. Maybe this is for their European customers? Or they are outsourcing marketing? It just seems strange that a site for Microsoft's flagship product would be handled outside of Redmond and the main MSFT infrastructure.

Edit: seems the site has changed since I saw it this morning; so the bottom says that it's maintained on behalf of MSFT by Microsoft Licensing GP, and MLGP's website seems to suggest that they cater to special groups, like OEMs and not to the general retail market...

This is nothing people. Microsoft renamed "Windows 7 Technical Guarantee Program" to "Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program"

All it will list is the information for that program which is offering free upgrades to Windows 7 for users who buy Vista after June 26th. Of course they aren't going to update the page until then, or new PC sells would stall before that date.

Read all about it here:

I was just too bored for no-action lol. Sorry if that misled you. :sleep:

Haha ;) I took one look at the picture after I posted and realized that. Just a tad on edge, that is all.

winfuture.de, apart from reporting the "showstopper bug" that delays the RTM, is still holding their place for the June 29 prediction. And....there is a rumor(repeat: rumor), that 7265 has been rebranded RTM gold code....so Neowin could still be a winner. ...... :rolleyes:

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
