Windows 7 Release Candidate Leaked (Before May 5th)

Folks,

Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) has been leaked on various P2P Networks. While you might find it difficult to resist the temptation to get your hands on this long awaited and most appreciated version of Windows from Microsoft, it is however advisable that you wait until May the 5th 2009 to get the genuine (but free) one. Did I say genuine? Well, critics are not yet sure if the version available on P2P Networks is really genuine or not.

Oh boy! I dunno whether I'm gonna wait or not... Hey where's that ***rrent icon man??? :P

The PC-BSD Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of PC-BSD 7.1 - Galileo Edition!

Version 7.1 contains a number of enhancements, improvements and bugfixes from the 7.0 series.

• FreeBSD 7.2-Pre
• KDE 4.2.2
  
• The new KDE 4 printer applet enables users to easily add and manage printers and print jobs without using the CUPS web interface.
• The Add / Remove Programs tool and the Update Manager have been consolidated into “Software & Updates.”
• The Updater Tray has been modified into a small tray-only applet that shows users when updates are available. This is far less taxing on the CPU than its previous versions.
• FreeBSD ports and packages can now be installed in a clean localbase by utilizing the “runports” command.
• Greater stability for Flash 9 allows users to get higher quality from Flash sites such as Hulu and Youtube.
• Enhancements have been made to PC-BSD's System Installer, including upgrade functionality for those who wish to upgrade / repair PC-BSD while preserving their user data.
• Fixes have been made to bugs in the Wi-Fi and Networking tools, as well as to previous Linux Emulation problems.

"Galileo utilizes the latest KDE developments to bring style and functionality to the PC-BSD operating system,” says Kris Moore, PC-BSD Software Development Manager, iXsystems. “New KDE visual effects accent the stability and security of the Galileo Edition of PC-BSD. With new printing features and improvements to the Push Button Installer and Warden utility, PC-BSD 7.1 is now even easier to use."

The PC-BSD user community is raving about the Galileo Edition of PC-BSD.
