Great news that the RC will be publically available from the 5th May 2009. More details here.
There certainly has been a lot of discussion about Windows 7 in the last few weeks. A lot of folks want to know when they can get their hands on the official RC, when we are going to RTM, and what I had for breakfast.
I’m pleased to share that the RC is on track for April 30th for download by MSDN and TechNet subscribers. Broader, public availability will begin on May 5th.
I wasn’t able to see my Mac network share from Windows 7 and the single edit to the security policy that worked for Vista, didn’t work for Windows 7.
It turns out a second step was needed, as detailed below:
Start>secpol.msc [enter]
Click on “Local Policies” –> “Security Options”
Navigate to the policy “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level” and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows Vista and Windows 7 set the policy to “NTVLM2 responses only”. Use the drop-down arrow to change this to
“LM and NTLM ? use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated”.
Then naviate to the policy Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients, double click and untick
“Require 128-bit encryption”
Last night I installed the Windows 7 beta onto my HP 2530p notebook. So far I’m impressed, it was very quick to install, and so far my important apps like Microsoft Office, IM and other tools run fine. I found this link on howto get Google Chrome working. I just have two devices I’ve not found device drivers for, if anyone knows what these maybe please let me know!
Problem with device driver Not fixed
There is a problem with the driver for PCI Simple Communications Controller. The driver needs to be reinstalled.
There is a problem with the driver for PCI Serial Port. The driver needs to be reinstalled.
