Windows 7 brings Microsoft to its knees
« on: May 01, 2009, 09:22:14 PM »

Desperate beta testers brought down Microsoft's Windows 7 download page yesterday for about two hours.

Only Microsoft Developer Network members and TechNet members were offered keys, but Microsoft still had to make some changes to keep the site up and running. The MSDN blog said "systems are having trouble keeping up" and thanked people for their patience.

        The team of developers of Millenium were the same developers of Vista
        The team of developers of Windows 7 are the same developers of XP.

        At least that's the rumour.

        And no, I have no source for this information.

        ME was the first computer I bought with my own money which was pre-XP. If you don't know any better it's a very good OS. Same applies to XP and one day we will be saying that about 7 (hopefully). In another 15 years just think what it's going to be like if technology grows the same as it has in the prior 15 years.

        It's evolution...

        The rapid advancement in hardware is forcing the new technology. It's not all the fault of MS. They are trying to keep up just like we are.

            All I can remember about Millenium were the freakin' BSODs....I think I had one the first boot out of the box.....I came close to packing PCs in completely because of ME....BSODs, one after another, for sessions on end, then stability for a couple of weeks, then just when you were getting comfortable, another punch to the groin.
