It’s not the most recent of builds as Microsoft employees have been seen twittering about installing build 7034 marked Build 7034.winmain.090202-1920.

From the Springboard Series Blog:
Because interest in the beta is so high, we have decided to extend availability of the beta through the Customer Preview Program (CPP) until 2/12.

Windows 7 is being touted as a light on resources OS. But really, how light is it?

While I praise them for going with a very consistent UI...
Don’t you just love the stacks feature in Apple’s OS X Dock?

But if you really really want a stack in your superbar like the one in the image...

If you find any application hanging up in Windows 7, you’ll get options like these. Windows 7 will really try to restore the program to a working condition without losing your data using the ‘Try to restore the program by canceling the non-responsive command’. Vista used to show an option to restart the hung application in place of...
Windows 7 build 6956 contains 10 game rating systems. Different games are rated differently for various regions and countries across the world, so a choice between the game rating systems provides a good way to control what your child should or shouldn’t play according to where you live. ESRB, the default selection, is the most well...
