Microsoft Brings 36 New Features To Windows 7

Barence writes "Microsoft has unveiled a slew of new features that will appear in the Release Candidate of Windows 7 that didn't make an appearance in the beta. 'We've been quite busy for the past two months or so working through all the feedback we've received on Windows 7,' explains Steven Sinofsky, lead engineer for Windows 7 in his blog. A majority of these features are user interface tweaks, but they should add up to a much smoother Windows 7 experience." In separate news, Technologizer reports on Microsoft's contingency plan, should things not go well in EU antitrust, to slip Win7 to January.

    Microsoft announces 36 security patches for zero-day vulnerabilities.

    When you beta-test a product, shouldn't you test the complete product?

    Don't go rushing out to be the first in your neighbourhood to own a copy based on this tripe... Best to wait and see how many of these are anti-features :)

    MS added a bunch of new features - good for them. Does your enjoyment of life hinge on trashing MS at every available opportunity? If you hate Windows 7 so much then use something else instead. You sound like a bitter ex-girlfriend.

    Yeah yeah, mod me down now.

    You Windows employees seem to not understand what "astroturfing" is. Astroturf is fake grass, astroturfing is a fake grassroots campaign. Red Had employees could astroturf, but if you're talking about Linux it's true grassroots, not astroturf.

    And you apparently didn't understand what the GP was saying, but I don't know how I could put it any more clearly than he did. Maybe you need more coffee, or a little sleep.

    But yeah, lets use this "Microsoft adds more value to Windows 7" story to express our hatred for Microsoft!

    nice, so stating observations is spreading hate?

    When are you going to stop beating your wife then?

    Sorry Mr. Ballmer, but I haven't been impressed with any of your products (Except maybe Excel) for over a decade.

    Now put that chair down.
