Upgrading From Win7RC To Win7 Final Is Possible.
Oct 20, 2009this will save me a lot of time from having to do a clean
install like we were told we would have to do if we are running

How To Automate The Process Of A “final Check
Dec 9, 2009I gather digital images (via e-mail) from members of our camera club. There are simple specification for filename, size and dimensions, but it’s amazing to variety of errors that are made. The files arrive over several days. I visual check for errors on a flow basis, but sometimes I don’t catch them all. I would like to automate the process of a “final check” of the complete batch before incorporating them into our PowerPoint application for the competition.
My OS is Vista. I know how to produce a list of filenames (Shift/RightClick, Copy as Path, etc), but I don’t know of a way to also capture other file attributes, such as size and dimensions. My idea is to create (maybe a Comma-Separated-Value file that I could import into Excel. Then it should be simple enough to use conditional formatting to flag the cells in error. Actually, filename and dimensions contain subfields, but my idea is to use a text editor on the csv file so that the subfields could be separated and therefore imported into separate cells in Excel.

IE8 RC1 Released To The Public
Jan 26, 2009As expected, Microsoft Monday released Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Release Candidate 1 (RC1) to the public. You can grab the download from the Microsoft Download Center: for Vista and Server 2008 32-bit, for Vista and Server 2008 64-bit, for XP 32-bit, for Server 2003 SP2 32-bit, and for Server 2003 SP2 64-bit and XP 64-bit. At time of publishing, the release notes have not yet been updated (but should be soon), though the Technology Overview for Developers is available. Please note that this build is newer than the one in Windows 7 build 7000 and cannot be installed over top of that version of IE8. Testers using Windows 7 will have to wait for a new build of the operating system.
Microsoft already gave testers an RC1 build (8.0.6001.18343) last month and then updated the build number 8.0.6001.18344 that same week, due to an out-of-band security update for the browser. The software giant gave the public IE8 Beta 2 in August 2008 and Beta 1 in March 2008. IE8 RC1 released to the public - Ars Technica

Mar 19, 2009The final build of Internet Explorer 8 has been released in 25 languages. You can also grab the download directly from these links: Windows XP 32-bit (16.1 MB), Windows XP 64-bit (32.3 MB), Windows Server 2003 32-bit (16.0 MB), Windows Server 2003 64-bit (32.3 MB), Windows Vista 32-bit (13.2 MB), Windows Vista 64-bit (24.3 MB), Windows Server 2008 32-bit (13.2 MB), and Windows Server 2008 64-bit (24.3 MB).
The public Windows 7 beta is not being updated, and although Microsoft released an update for IE8 for Windows 7 in February, the next update is not likely to arrive until the Windows 7 Release Candidate next month. For everyone else, in the coming weeks Microsoft will put IE8 out as an optional download on Windows Update and then later roll it out to users via Automatic Updates. A quick note to all the IT administrators out there reading this post: the IE8 blocker toolkit is already available, so make sure you get acquainted with it if you're planning on avoiding IE8 when it's released via Microsoft's update channels.
