Windows 7 – RTM on July 13th
Earlier today GeekSmack.net “confirmed” that Windows 7 was set to RTM (release to manufacturing) on July 13. This coincides with Wzor’s “unconfirmed” rumor last month. A few minutes ago sources close to the company confirmed to Neowin that Windows 7 is indeed set to RTM on July 13. The date, July 13, also coincides with the kickoff of the Worldwide Partner Conference that is taking place in New Orleans.
Note: RTM and GA (General Availability) are two totally different phases. RTM is typically the final build before Windows 7 hits general availability later this year. RTM is provided to manufacturers so they can work out any bugs with hardware devices. General availability is scheduled to launch on October 22. RTM DOES mean that those with subscriptions to TechNet, MSDN, etc will be getting the RTM build on July 13th!

4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows is Bogus
about 1 year ago - No comments
Geoff Chappell published an article explaining how the 4GB memory limit for 32-bit Windows (he is writing mainly about Vista) is more of a licensing preference than an architectural limit. The article outlines how Chappell unlocked his system to use all the memory that is present, but cautions that such hackery is ill-advised for several
Apple Hit Back at Laptop Hunter Ads
