There are already some torrent sites listing this leaked version of the RC of Windows 7. I am not sure how that will work, especially when it comes to the CD-Key management. However, do rest assure that there is indeed a Build 7048 RC which will be coming soon (although it was promised for late Feb 2009).
For the meantime, enjoy these 100 screen shots from Softpedia of the RC1 of Windows 7:

Virtual Drive Software for Windows 7
I used to be a great fan of Alcohol 52% and Daemon Tool. However, I just realized that due to the SPTD driver (http://www.duplexsecure.com/downloads), it will not install properly in Windows 7. Well to be fair, it kinda installed. but Windows 7 could never detect it was installed. As a result, Alcohol 52% keep trying to install this and does not go on...
There may be another tool thats works, but I am going to recommend using Gizmo Drive for now:
http://arainia.com/software/gizmo/overview.php?nID=4
Gizmo Drive does something similar. It can make and mount images for more popular formats. Unfortunately, it does not has the copy protection features in Alcohol and Daemon Tool.
Until any of these can fix the Windows 7 problem, I guess we can use Gizmo Drive for now. Btw, its a freeware too.

Toshiba Memory Flash Drive Cannot enable Vista Readyboost
I am sorry I have to mention Toshiba. It can probably happen to any other brands, but so far I had only been able to see Toshiba ones which actually happened.
Before I go on, let's put this straight. If the packaging says its Vista Readyboost compatible, it should be. Otherwise, no matter what you do, it will probably not be. Notice I mentioned probably, because I had a red Sandisk flash drive which actually IS compatible, but is not advertised as such.
The only problem arises when you actually plug in the flash drive and found that Vista complain it does not meet the minimum requirement. Btw, I had mentioned before, the requirement is only 2MB/second.
I was very upset when I gotten the Toshiba drive and found that I was ripped off. The biggest problem was I bought the 4GB drive solely for the purpose of Readyboost. 4GB is the max you can go on Windows Vista, but do note that in the future in Windows 7, this limit has been removed. Next, when I attempted to RMA the item, Toshiba told me that it was from an "unauthorized" dealer and advise I go back to the shop I bought from, which turns out to be Playcraft. They are only located in the far west, which will probably cost me more than this flash drive to go.
So, I had to take the matter into my own hands. I was so frustrated I thought I might as well "destroy" the drive by overwriting it with zero or something similar using a DOS hard disk wiper tool. And that I did. There are many which you can use, I used Acronis in this case. What I did not was to create the partition back.
I booted back into my Windows Vista and it detected the unformatted drive. I simply create a "simple volume" and remount the drive with a drive letter. Suddenly and "automagically", Readyboost prompt pops up saying it is ready to be use with Readyboost.
Unbelivable? I think so too. And I really wondered what they did in the first place that made the drive NOT Readyboost compatible? Maybe I should had checked the drive before I did the HDD wipe on it... In any case, I hope this helps you out there solve similar problems.

Doomsday: How 4C temperature rise this century will change world beyond recognition and threaten human survival
Doomsday: How 4C temperature rise this century will change world beyond recognition and threaten human survival
By Claire Bates
Last updated at 3:21 PM on 26th February 2009
Alligators bask off the English coast, the Saharan desert stretches far into Europe and just 10 per cent of humans are left on the planet.
Science fiction?
No, this is the doomsday scenario being predicted by scientists if global temperatures make a predicted rise of 4C in the next 100 years. Some fear it could happen as early as 2050.
Rivers from the Danube to the Rhine would be reduced to a trickle while melting glaciers and storm surges would drown coastal regions under two metres of water. More if parts of Antarctica were to melt.
Trying to prevent desertification. Some experts predict that by 2100 deserts would take over most of Africa and stretch into Europe
While 4C does not sound like very much, the New Scientist magazine, has said it could easily occur.
A report in 2007 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, whose conclusions are generally accepted as conservative, predicted a rise of between 2C and 6.4C this century.
In August of 2008 Bob Watson, former chair of the IPCC, warned that the world should prepare for 4C of warming.
As part of their research into the article the New Scientist spoke to leading climate experts from around the world to create a map of how our world might look 4C warmer.
Many were optimistic that humans would survive but would have to adapt to vastly altered circumstances. Vast numbers would have to migrate and there would have to be a world effort to redistribute resources.
As a huge swathe of desert started to spread out from the equator, humans would migrate north and south towards the poles, knocking down national boundaries.
'We need to look at the world afresh and see it in terms of where the resources are, and then plan population around that,' Peter Cox from the University of Exeter said.
Humans will become mostly vegetarian with most animals being eaten to extinction by desperate people.
A glaciers melt, sea levels are expected to rise by 2m this century
Large chunks of Earth's biodiversity would vanish because they could not adapt in such a short time.
In the world's oceans, numbers of fish would drop dramatically as acid levels rose because of decreasing plankton.
As the remaining fertile lands would be so precious people would have to live in compact high-rise cities to preserve space for food growing.
Scientists have put forward the prospect of energy being supplied for homes by a giant solar belt running across North Africa, the Middle East and the southern U.S. The New Scientist article also questioned the future of the humankind.
'I think they'll survive as a species all right, but the cull during this century is going to be huge,' former Nasa scientists James Lovelock said.
'The number remaining at the end of the century will probably be a billion or less.'
Workers install solar panels in France. Massive solar panel complexes stretching across countries could be built to provide for the world's energy needs
The last time the world experienced such temperature rises was 55 million years ago when large areas of frozen methane were released from the ocean and filled the atmosphere with carbon, warming the planet by 6C.
Unfortunately humans did not learn any survival lessons from the event as we only evolved a quarter of a million years ago.
Many experts hope our species will continue but warn we are not doing enough to try and prevent a catastrophe.
'In order to be safe, we would have to reduce our carbon emissions by 70 per cent by 2015. We are currently putting in 3 per cent more each year,' said Nobel prizewinning chemist Paul Crutzen.

A moment of Zen
I am not sure if you had ever encounter something like this...
It was a warm and windy afternoon. Well, it's windy because I am stuck somewhere in the forest nearby the sea water. I was so tired (from the waiting), that I simply lie down on the dirt track. Well, its at the point that you do not really care anymore because you are so tired.
Above me, I see some leaves, green and yellow. The sunlight shone through, and the breeze from the sea water makes the leaves dance in the wind. Its moment like this that does not come often. All around me I can heard the leaves hisses and some bugs humming... Its that type of lazy afternoon basically.
All a sudden, I felt this moment of, well, Zen maybe. I feel nothing matters. I forgets everything around me. It was as if I am now one with the heaven and earth. Inside, I feel tranquil and peace. It was like time just freezes.
But time did passes and all that I am sure I was not asleep or anything. Suddenly, I feel a groan from my stomach. :) Its lunch time. Well, I had to go and collect the food for the guys....
Its not that often you get to be with natural in this way. Without boundary or restriction. Just lying there and feel yourself submerged into natural itself. Well, try it someday and see if you can feel this wonderful moment of Zen...

Gigabyte EX58-UD3R with Intel i7 920
Got a PC set up last month with the latest Intel chipset : The i7. Due to $$$ constraint, I had to forgo my favorite Asus motherboard and got a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R instead. While its not bad, I had a hard time getting my Linux up. In the end, I simple give up. I guess Linux just need to wait. Windows 7 works fine on it, which is a relief. It at least means that I have a Windows 7 read system now.
However, I wanted to point out one weird problem I am having now. I do not know if I mentioned, but DDR3 triple channel actually means you need 3 pieces of RAM. While happily I gotten 2 pieces, I was running the whole PC fine. Problem started when I got my third piece of RAM. It was the same model and build. I started getting blue screen in my Windows Vista with error like:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONE_PAGED_AREA
IRQ_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
This totally got me. It get very unstable until I have to reboot a few times sometimes to boot up. So, I got a bad RAM. That was my thought. I gotten a new piece and after plugging it in, things started again. The strange thing was, when I had only 2 pieces of RAM, it work fine and stable for hours.
So, I guess I am pretty much screwed by my motherboard. In any case, I will proceed with a RMA for the motherboard. I hope this certainly solved my issues.

Exit, but do not enter?
You notice the EXIT sign clear in the green light. However as you approaches, you notice that there is a sign that say DO NOT ENTER with a red circle sign on the door? I mean, WTF?
M1 to replace SingTel shop in Kallang Leisure Park
When a shop closes and get replaces by another, its pretty normal. Except it gets a bit funny in this case.
Why? Because Singtel is closed to be replace by a M1 shop instead :)
Windows Vista Ultimate going to be uncracked once again
Microsoft has just announced that a new patch will be delivered specificly to Windows Vista Ultimate only which may (I do not use the word WILL yet, because nobody is sure, for all it's worth, the patch may not work properly) disable the softmod used by many pirates to install OEM version of Windows Vista Ultimate.
This has the same effect when SP1 was launched together with 2 of such checks.

Enter Mcafee to the Windows 7 Antivirus
A recent check at:
shows that Mcafee has somehow made it there too. Thats makes the total number of vendors to 4. Of which 1 I has strike off because their product totally did not install properly and did not work even after installing. That is Symantec.
However, instead of being able to find the software to test, Mcafee redirects to a Beta programme page at:
Actually, what you really need to do is to read the FAQ or register online here:
I had just done so. Not sure what they will send me in my email. Will update again once I get to try out Mcafee's solution.

Norton 360 on Windows 7
In a previous post, I had discussed the options available for anti-something on Windows 7 and Norton 360 v3 is one of the choice. I had tried Kaspersky and AVG, which I do not want to talk too much about in this post. So, for the sake of being fair and independent, I decide to run Norton 360 on another instance of my Windows 7 beta.
Basically, this is what I got when I started the installation. Being very determine, I tried a few times and finally got it to install. But I encounted some errors along the way, such as this:
Norton 360 v3 is a beta as well, but unfortunately for me, this IS really beta. Even the basic installation crashed on me a few times before I got it to even install.
Basically, this is what I got when I started the installation. Being very determine, I tried a few times and finally got it to install. But I encounted some errors along the way, such as this:Well, at least I got it up, so I believed. After click on the Norton 360 icon, nothing happens. Even the Norton 360 widget hanged on me.
This, if you recall, was very similar to my Vista experience and immediate, fear enters my mind. In my vista experience, I could not remove Norton and ended up reformatting. I can only hope this time it doesn't come to that.
I launched the uninstall program and it kind of just disappeared for a few times, until I finally got it to work... Lucky for me, the uninstall actually works and after a reboot, my Windows 7 was still alive.
I had bad mouthed Symantec in many instances and this is some of the basis why I would do that. I do understand beta is after all BETA, but I suppose Symantec should at least test it before releasing it as a beta. At least, if not the function, test the installation!
Looks like I had to strike Norton 360 off the list of compatible antivirus for Windows 7.
Windows 7 is Vista R2
Windows 7 is basically Vista. The proof? Just open a DOS prompt and you can clearly see that it says Windows 6.1.7000. Vista is Windows 6. So technically at this point of time, Windows 7 is just like R2 of Windows Vista.More proof? Just run "winver":

Windows Live Messenger 2009 14.0.8064.0206
A new version of the Live Messenger 2009 has been quietly released. Notice the build of the inital release was 14.0.8050.
For those who installed, hopefully you will be getting the new messenger version prompt soon. Otherwise, you may upgrade by installing it from:
And you can grab the latest version of A-Patch which is compatible with this version. Although, there are some things that can still not be removed.

Installing Windows 7 on Virtual PC 2007 SP1
Windows 7 Beta build 7000 has been out for quite some time. I had already installed it on several system including my core desktop as well as some laptops such as the Dell Inspiron 6400 which I had mentioned earlier in my post.
Today, lets go through the step by step installation on the Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Sp1 which I guess anyone can do from any system. Virtual PC provides a great way to test the Windows 7 environment (except for drivers).
Ok, lets I presumed you have a Microsoft Password account to login and download the Windows 7 beta and obtain one of the corporate beta CD-KEY. Otherwise, do so here:
and the CD-KEYs are:

Well, if you do not, then there is seriously some hardware that is totally incompatible with Windows 7 and you should thrash that hardware before Windows 7 launches. In this case, its a virtual pc, so it should not happen at all.

And before you scream at me for posting these keys, I would like to clarify something. If you recalled, I had previously posted a way to "keygen" the CD-KEY from Microsoft website, but I realized its nothing more than a random generator which will pick from the set of keys above. And these are the official corp cd-key used for the beta. So I do not really see a problem here. Well, maybe other than allowing some of you to download the ISO and install without creating a Password account.
Anyway, here we goes. Boot up the DVD and you shall see:
Well, if you do not, then there is seriously some hardware that is totally incompatible with Windows 7 and you should thrash that hardware before Windows 7 launches. In this case, its a virtual pc, so it should not happen at all.Next, choose Install to start the installation.
You will notice that somehow there is an upgrade option enabled. Well, according to some sources, Windows 7 will upgrade any Vista installation. So, its good to know that we probably can choose NOT to reinstall when Windows 7 launches.
Since we are using a virtual pc, we have to set up the drive and format it for the installation.
And here we goes. I did not had much problem with the installation, so I suppose you should not have as well since its a similar Virtual PC.
Next, you shall see the familiar, yet a bit different Starting Windows screen after a few reboots.
You shall need to login with the account you created along the way in the wizard. However, you will notice something new, which is the sharing account password, also known as Homegroup. This is a new feature in Windows 7.
After which, you should see the desktop below.
Lastly, do not forget to check for updates. Windows 7 has provides not just security patches, but drivers updates using the build in windows update function.
Well, it is a lot more simple and straight forward as compared to installing Vista on Virtual PC.
