Microsoft confirmed that Windows 7 is to be released October 22nd. If you can hold off on your next computer purchase to include a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it is released, I recommend that you do so.

Microsoft Vista (and Windows Server 2008) Service Pack 2 available

It 'quietly' was released yesterday. I'm currently downloading all 1.7 GB of it to burn on DVD for installation now.

Its going to be a pain for anyone who has a bad service pack 1 installation. I have one such laptop that is going to be a problem, but I was planning on re-installating the entire system anyway.
