  • Windows 7 RTM on MSDN, TechNet

    I spent the day wandering around Paris yesterday, but somewhere in the middle of that Microsoft released Windows 7 RTM to both MSDN and TechNet as previously promised. Both services got the English versions of Windows 7 Home Basic, Starter, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate, all in...

  • Windows 7: the untold story of how the enterprise gets snubbed

    Julie Bort over at Network World interviewed me for a piece on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, specifically how they do or do not interact. My feeling on this is that the Windows 7/R2 “better together” story is a little on the weak side, that Windows 7 is more of a consumer release than a business...

  • Windows Search Advanced Query Syntax

    Microsoft can and should be credited with being the first of the mainstream OS makers to announce and then implement system-wide instant search functionality in its operating systems. And now, years later, Windows Vista/7, and 2008 users (and XP and 2003 users, via an add-on) know the wonders of what's...

  • MinWin: Is it or isn’t it part of Windows 7?

    If there's one thing Microsoft is doing poorly right now, it's communicating about Windows 7. That's somewhat ironic given the company's announced goal last week of communicating about Windows 7. Mary Jo Foley and I discussed this problem on Windows Weekly this past week (I'll post...

  • The Great Windows Collapse of 2011

    I've gotten a lot email this week about the over-hyped Gartner report that said, essentially, that Windows is collapsing under its own weight. My reaction to this is two-fold. Before we get to that, here's a typical story about this report from ZD's Larry Dignan, who, I'm happy to report...
