Windows "I recognize this is an important question to have answered. Many of you have said you want to know exactly when you will be able to get your hands on RTM. Last Monday, I gave an update on RTM to close out some myths. In that update, I also gave a broad timeline on when different groups of people - or 'audiences' - would get the final RTM code. While I have nothing new to add regarding RTM today, I do however have more precise information to give on when you will be able to get RTM. Again, when you can get RTM depends on who you are."

windows tax

Personally, next time i'm forced to pay the windows tax. I won't be buying a laptop for another few years so that will hopefully change in Australia soon.

For work we're looking at migrating from xp next year after our current lease is up. So at the earliest june next year we'll start testing with a view to deployment by the end of the year, one year after release.

I manage the imaging/deployment side of things and i'm really not keen to push windows 7 out before I see if companies can actually create drivers that don't suck for 6 months. (nvidia killed vista.)

I can't wait to see what kind of quirks we can produce on windows 7. (1000 workstation school. Unsigned drivers in all sorts of classroom hardware and random software packages.)
