Dailytech.com has posted a new article about the Microsoft press release about their "New Wave of Technologies to Help Businesses Thrive in Today’s Economy". I hope that they stick to their word, i am currently running Windows 7 RC 1 on my IBM Thinkpad T43 laptop and i have no issues what so ever.  In fact it feels faster than my Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz station running a retail version of Windows Vista 64bit!  The future looks promising for Microsoft's new operating system.

Windows 7 has been the talk of the tech community for months now. Excitement over the operating system reached a high point when Microsoft released the first public beta of Windows 7 during CES 2009 in early January. Microsoft then upped the ante last week when it provided the first Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows 7 to the public.

Microsoft is now confident enough in Windows 7 that it today announced that the operating system will be available in time for the "holiday shopping season". Although Acer has leaked its intention to release a product using Windows 7 by October 23, this is the first confirmation from Microsoft that the operating system will ship this year.
