Windows 7 RC is out – Let’s all download at once

Win7_RC_Ready

Windows 7 RC is finally available for download! It’s still free at this stage so this is the perfect opportunity to play with the latest version of Windows.

Unfortunately, Microsoft’s FAQ answers “Will I get a free copy of Windows 7 once it’s released for volunteering to test the Windows 7 RC?” – “Sorry, no.”

Anyway, we should see if we can knock down Microsoft’s servers again by having everyone download at once, just like with the beta. :)

Solved: Can’t Drag Maximised Office Windows

This is a new feature that I discovered this by accident. After switching to Windows 7, I drag windows to the edge of screen to maximise or dock it, and then drag it off to go back to the previous window size.

But, I had this problem where that after maximising some windows like Office Word 2007 or Office Excel 2007, you can’t drag it out to restore it to the previous size! I think it must have something to do with Office doing funny business with window decorations…

Anyway, I just realised that this now works – after installing Office 2007 Service Pack 2. At least I think that’s what solved the problem. Anyone care to confirm?
