Windows 7 is complete. After previews and beta versions and then the Windows 7 Release Candidate, the Windows 7 team has decided that Windows 7 is ready to release. Windows 7 is making its way onto MSDN and TechNet, and is already with PC makers.
Windows Technical Beta Program members will be getting their free Windows 7 in the next few days.
This isn't the exact version of Windows 7 that you'll get on a new PC, because there are still content deals for Media Center to lock down and it doesn't have the Windows 7 web browser ballot screen that users in Europe are likely to see when they set up a Windows 7 PC (new or upgraded).
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
windows 7, it looks good, basically what vista should of been. but the problem for me is the cost. i could build a PC and buy a monitor and install xp pro for the cost of this OS.
And it allowed me to not buy an OS when I built my new machine! So actually saved me money.
And also Windows 7 has some good pre-order deals atm (50%) off.
I think on day one it will expensive, but it really is IMO the best OS Microsoft have put out. XP was good after several service packs but 7 has been great since day one. I haven't had it crash at all, it works with all my software and hardware and it boots in literally 1/4 or 1/3 of the time of any other OS.
In short I recommend it. And I dont work for Microsoft!
Wow, I still found Vista to be good. I'll eventually upgrade it though.
*looks at review *
Muahahah
Windows 7 is looking really nice - I can't wait to upgrade.
