Windows 7 RTM Successfully Installed
Posted By: Bill Evjen | 8/11/2009 1:59 PM | 8 Comments
I successfully installed the RTM version of Windows 7 last night. I got a copy of an .iso file for this due to my participation in the Windows 7 beta program. It was very nice of Microsoft to provide everyone that participated in the invited portion of the beta program to a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate! Thanks Microsoft for that. I downloaded the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and burned that to a disc and booted up my machine to this disc. I have to say that it was just a little confusing at first...
The long wait is over
Posted By: Martin Hinshelwood | 8/6/2009 3:40 AM | 1 Comments
Have you been waiting for a long time for Windows 7? Well I have.. I have been able to use Beta 1 and the RC for a good while now, and it surprised me that the Windows 7 Beta 1 was more stable, responsive and cleaner than Vista was after Service Pack 3. Today (06/08/2009) Windows 7 RTM will be available for Developers on MSDN and a lovely free copy for those that participated in the invitation only Beta program. What a joy this day is, we finally get an OS that is both up to date and that we can...
Vista Won’t Turn Off Monitor
Posted By: Bunch | 7/13/2009 3:21 AM | 0 Comments
This is a completely non-dev related post, but something that had been really getting under my skin for about a month now. I have one Vista PC and it always turned of the monitor like it should. Then it just stopped working. I looked around a bit off and on, since it wasn’t a huge deal I didn’t look that hard. But I had some time the other day and found a super easy fix. I have the power configuration set to run the screen saver after 10 minutes and then turn off the monitor after 20 minutes. The...
Get Windows 7 RC – It’s Free!
Posted By: Bill Evjen | 5/12/2009 3:19 PM | 2 Comments
Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) is out and the incredible thing is that Microsoft has provided this operating system (OS) for free to the entire world. They will only let you download the OS for a limited time – so if you are thinking of getting it – you should be getting your hands on a copy of it as quick as you can. Microsoft is offering both a 32bit or a 64bit version that you can download. This is NOT the final version of the OS though – that is something to be aware of. If you install this...
Windows 7 Coming to a Computer Near You April 30th

Good news for us all is that the RC build of the much-anticipated Windows 7 is going to be made available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers on April 30. For the rest of the world, you won’t have long to wait, as the Windows 7 RC will be available on May 5th as I previously reported on my Twitter account. For those that are not aware, RC means Release Candidate, as this is the pre-final version of the operating system and it is supposed to include everything that will be in the final shipping version...
New laptop and Windows 7
Posted By: Martin Hinshelwood | 2/14/2009 8:00 AM | 0 Comments
We have needed a new laptop in the Hinshelwood household for a while now. My old laptop was 8 years old, and although it was a mobile desktop, it ran Vista like a dog… Now the main use of a laptop in our household is for internet and pictures, but I defiantly wanted to run Windows 7. My wife's only caveat was that it had to be pink! I know, but it upped the WAF from about a 3 to a 10. If you are looking for a cheap quality laptop in the UK then you should look no further than Tesco Direct. Scary...
Google Chrome Updates and Running on Windows 7
Posted By: Bill Evjen | 1/31/2009 4:45 PM | 4 Comments
I’ve been playing around a bit with Google Chrome lately. I switched back to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 as it answered a lot of the frustrations that I was having with Google Chrome (some key pages I like not rendering correctly). Though, when I switched one of my computer’s operating system to Windows 7 Beta 1, I was even more frustrated. The IE that came installed on Windows 7 was a less than superior IE than what I could download off of the Microsoft site. I tried to install the latest IE...
Windows 7 Up and Running
Posted By: Bill Evjen | 1/14/2009 9:41 AM | 4 Comments
I have installed Windows 7 on “bare metal” on one of my machines. This was a laptop that I work with and it was a very easy install. First off, it was the quickest OS install that I have ever experienced. You can tell that Microsoft spent some significant time working on the performance and quality of the install and bravo to the team that worked on that feature! I also used the 64-bit version of the operating system. More and more people are turning to 64-bit and it is really starting to be the...
Installing Visual Studio 2008 Team Suit on Windows 7
Posted By: Martin Hinshelwood | 1/9/2009 4:17 PM | 23 Comments
I am installing VS2008 in a virtual environment, so this may not be exactly what you would get, but the purpose is to identify if VS2008 does indeed work on Windows 7 and what the experience is like. The first problem is that the auto run does not seam to function. This can be rectified by browsing the CD / Image and running setup.exe So far so good. After you have accepted the licence agreement you need to select the installation components. I am selecting Full so we can make sure it all goes on,...
Installing Windows 7
Posted By: Martin Hinshelwood | 1/9/2009 8:00 AM | 1 Comments
Installing Windows 7 is so similar to the Vista install it almost does not deserve a post on it, but as I did not do a Vista install post, and I am waiting for the install to complete, I though you should see, erm…. the nice new colours… I am installing on a virtual environment (Virtual PC) on my desktop so any timings for the install are largely irrelevant, but my Host computer had Dual Quad core Xeon’s and some serious HDD and RAM speeds. I only get a 3.3 because my graphics card is not a very...
Windows 7 Beta is Live!
Posted By: Martin Hinshelwood | 1/8/2009 10:49 AM | 0 Comments
If you have an MSDN account you will be able to download Windows 7 Beta today, but it should be available for anyone by the end of next week. If you have not seen anything about Windows 7 then you should take a look. I am not suggesting that you install it on a production computer, but even early adopters have had very stable installs. The Windows 7 operating system is to Vista as XP was to Windows 2000. If you look under the covers of these operating system you will find that Windows 2000 was version...
Screen Will Not Rotate 90 Degrees
Posted By: Bunch | 11/6/2008 2:59 PM | 1 Comments
If you like to rotate your monitor 90 degrees to get more code on the screen but it just will not stick this may be the issue, SP3 for XP. The issue I had was with a Dell monitor, on a Dell Optiplex with an ATI video card. I had downloaded the latest ATI driver (the whole Catalyst setup) from Dell’s site. It installed fine and I could access the settings in the Catalyst Control Center to rotate the screen, but the rotation would never stick. Ended up I needed version 8.4 or higher. So I downloaded...
Windows 7’s official name announced…
Posted By: Stacy Vicknair | 10/15/2008 3:52 PM | 0 Comments
And the official name is… Windows 7. You might be wondering how this is news, but really Windows 7 has been the codename up until Monday when Mike Nash announced that it would be the official name as well. The idea is that Windows 7 will continue on from where Vista left off, but to go back to version numbers instead of years and other off the wall randomness to highlight aspiration. Mike gives the rundown on why the name was decided on his blog, here: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/10/13/introducing-windows-7.aspx...
The "Mojave Experiment"
Posted By: Jerod Crump | 8/6/2008 1:40 PM | 0 Comments
Not sure how many people have seen this, but Microsoft gathered a bunch of Vista nay-sayers together and showed them Windows "Mojave"; the codenamed latest release of Windows. What the people didn't know was that they were actually experiencing Windows Vista! Amazingly, when asked prior to the "Mojave" demonstration what rating they would give Vista, almost all gave poor ratings. After seeing "Mojave", 94% gave it a higher rating than Vista and nobody rated it worse that Vista - they were simply...

XP Extension or Extinction?
Posted By: Bunch | 4/24/2008 3:40 PM | 2 Comments
I might as well put in my two cents on saving Windows XP from extinction. I’ve tinkered around with Vista a little bit and the interface is pretty cool as long as you have the hardware to run it. Overall it looks good and does have more, albeit annoying, security features. Minor gripes would include changing items in the control panel that have been the same for years. My major gripe would be directly related to work and I’m sure other developers have already voiced this as well. The gripe would...
Vista Memory Issues: How to clear the memory without a 3rd party application
Posted By: mikedopp | 3/13/2008 4:27 AM | 2 Comments
I believe it was Joe Levi who was running into vista vs. Visual Studio 2005 memory issues while compiling our latest build of www.lifetime.com . We both run Vista as our development environment (We watched all the sessions at mix07 and vista looked like it worked fine with Visual Studio 2005 + 2 hours of patches). We did some MSDN surfing and found a way to clear the memory within Windows Vista ( basically it kills all idle running applications). Here is how: Create a shortcut: Add Location of Shortcut:...

So we all love windows vista right? Right? mmmm... ok well how bout the next version? Maybe a complete rebuild of the NT kernel?

Wanted - Auto Volume Leveling in Windows
Posted By: Scott Kuhl | 1/11/2008 12:26 PM | 2 Comments
I hate that I need to adjust my speaker volume every single time I watch a web video or switch back and forth to music. Every embedded video seems to have it's own volume control that doesn't come close to comparing to anyone else's, if it even works. Does anyone know of a way to get Windows to auto volume level all sources so I can stop messing with the volume? Or am I just missing something obvious here?

I even took the time to do timings to do a before and after on times that was important to me such as timings in a DirectX games and none of them have changed, I even re-run them again and not one difference.

Yeah, had a struggle late night, and have come to the conclusion that Vista doesnt like my notebook(Dell Inspiron 6400). To be precise it prefers me to stick with Windows XP Home Edition, and is reluctant to upgrade it. The compatibility report was fine, the only Hardware complaints were - to Upgrade my Bios - i.e. got to A.11 from A.8 The software complaints were - Nero - which I can do without for the time being - McAfee Internet Suite - OMG, no compatibilty with McAfee, allright I'll give Avast...

Posted By: Chris Haaker | 9/25/2006 12:30 PM | 0 Comments
The Windows Vista Team Blog has a post up detailing an email sent to testers by Paul Donnelly wherein he mapped beta tester locations in MapPoint. There are some really great views that show the concentrations of testers in typical places like North America and Europe.
