Post-Beta Windows 7 Build Leaked With New IE8
CWmike writes "A post-beta version of Windows 7, Build 7022, leaked to Internet file-sharing sites also includes an updated version of IE8, according to searches at several BitTorrent trackers. With Microsoft halting new Windows 7 beta downloads on Tuesday, and blocking all downloads as of noon (EST) today, users are again turning to illegal sources to get the new operating system."
...has always been that they contained malicious software that will slow down my computer and drain my bank account...this simply proved it!
Could be Steve, could be Bill.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
Haven't you heard? Konqueror may finally get some competition with this new IE 8.
"The Googles, they do nothing!" ...or something like that.
BREAKING: Microsoft critically wounded by Internet assailant
In what appears to be yet another PR nightmare for the software giant, today Internet user macraig made scathing comments on the highly reputable Slashdot ORG site. Calling all Microsoft operating systems after Windows 2000, "a job poorly done" and noting that Windows has family and friends "hand-cuffed" to it, macraig assaulted the company with fierce textual blows. He even implied he would not infringe copyrights to obtain the newest Windows 7 operating system, a rather heinous indictment in this Web 2.0 world of P2P. "It was wanton, it was unnecessary," said one page viewer. Another user by the name of Anonymous Coward said he didn't know what to think after he read macraig's comments, only remarking on how "gruesome" the spectacle was.
Whether Microsoft will fully recover from this battery of attacks, no one will know. They were unavailable for comment. We will continue to keep you posted on this breaking news story.
Next, do you let your children go outside? Stay tuned as our team exposes the shocking link between sexual predators and children going outside!
It is effectively 2 years after the initial release. Vista came out in what, 2006?
Call me EXTREMELY OPTIMISTIC if you want, but we can hope that all these leaked betas with the little "send feedback" button would lead to less shittiness at launch.
I still cannot fathom why people scramble to get the latest copy of a Windows OS way after it's really even declared "ready."
There, fixed that for you.
I guess you have never tried it, I could recommend some distros that are on very mature and dont require you to learn command lines to use.

So out of all the user friendly distros you pick... Gentoo?
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
Yeah, it's like all those people using beta versions of Ubuntu. You know in 6 months they're just going to release another one.
How to hack Win7:

i read about it in a blog once
On Soviet Slashdot, memes fail YOU!
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.
exactly like the second service pack for vista.
How does that help? Then you can't start any at all!
I don't know what to think about this post. It's such a gruesome spectacle.
It must be a really failed meme then. As you can see from my UID, I'm not new here, and I don't remember ever hearing this one before.
