Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview Leaked May 16, 2009

Hey guys!

Thus far, our thirst for new stuff to rip to bits has been kept quenched by Windows 7, and now that there won’t be anything really new with Windows 7 builds except for under the hood bug fixes and performance improvements here and there.

It seems that there will be another widely used Microsoft product to keep us occupied: Microsoft Office 2010, also known as Microsoft Office 14.

Build 14.0.4006.1010, which is a technical preview, has seeped its way onto the internet, and it may be found at the torrent links at the bottom of this article. Office 2010 is confirmed to ship in both x64 and x86 flavors, and both have leaked. Keep your eyes out on GeekSmack for a screenshot gallery and an overview of all the new and exciting things in Office 2010, and I’d like to thank community member Panda X for the tip!

Windows 7 RC Leaked April 25, 2009

Hey guys,

It seems as though Microsoft just cant keep their latest and greatest operating to themselves. Somehow, almost every major build of Windows 7 has been able to get leaked to the public in one way or another. Seems a bit strange how its only the build that Microsoft feels are the better ones eh?

Anyways, the next major milestone has been reached – Windows 7 RC which is build 100. I posted previously that Microsoft are going to release it officially to the public on 5th May, but its out there all over the web at the moment.

There have been leaked versions for both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) operating systems. These leaked builds seem to be 99% the real deal, but we can never know for sure until they are compared with the official released ones on 5th May.

Anyways, I will link to a site that has all the download links for Rapidshare, Megaupload and torrent links.

Early, real, every day tests on Windows 7 Beta = IMPRESSIVE! January 2, 2009

Hey all,

Its the 2nd of January and I hope that 2009 is going well for you all so far.

Anyways, a quick update on how Microsoft’s next iteration of its Operating System – Windows 7 – is going in the 1st Beta Build.

This build (build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400) has been out and about on the internet for a couple of weeks now as it was somehow leaked. Many speculate that this is the exact same build that will be released to the public in the coming weeks of this month, however some people say it isnt. Either way, Adrian Kingsley Hughes of ZDNet.com has tested out this version of Windows 7 in 23 everyday life PC tests and has also done the same tests on Machines running Windows XP and Vista. He tested them on two different machines (One of a higher spec and the other of a fairly decent spec)

The tests are as follows:

1. Install OS – Time it takes to install the OS
2. Boot up – Average boot time to usable desktop
3. Shut down – Average shut down time
4. Move 100MB files – Move 100MB of JPEG files from one hard drive to another
5. Move 2.5GB files – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from one hard drive to another
6. Network transfer 100MB files – Move 100MB of JPEG files from test machine to NAS device
7. Network transfer 2.5GB files – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from test machine to NAS device
8. Move 100MB files under load – Move 100MB of JPEG files from one hard drive to another while ripping DVD to .ISO file
9. Move 2.5GB files under load – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from one hard drive to another while ripping DVD to .ISO file
10. Network transfer 100MB files under load – Move 100MB of JPEG files from test machine to NAS device while ripping DVD to .ISO file
11. Network transfer 2.5GB files under load – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from test machine to NAS device while ripping DVD to .ISO file
12. Compress 100MB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
13. Compress 1GB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
14. Extract 100MB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
15. Extract 1GB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
16. Install Office 2007 – Ultimate version, from DVD
17. Open 10 page Word doc – Text only
18. Open 100 page Word doc – Text and images only
19. Open simple Excel doc – Basic formatting
20. Open complex Excel doc – Including formula and charts
21. Burn DVD – Win 7 beta 1 .ISO to disc using CDBurnerXP
22. Open 10 page PDF – Text only, using latest Adobe Reader 8
23. Open 100 page PDF – Text and images, using latest Adobe Reader 8

The results of all these tests are as follows:

The way these are scored is that the OS with the best results is awarded the mark ‘1′ and second best is awarded a ‘2′ and third place is awarded ‘3′. Therefore the lower the final score, the better!

From these results its conclusive that Windows 7 is FAR better than its predecessors Windows Vista and XP. Also, it is evident that Windows 7 works well on both hardware configurations as there was a marginal difference of one point between the two.

So, for a Beta build it is clear that Windows 7 is on the right track and should hopefully become a lot better in its final RTM Code.

Hope this was useful!

Windows 7 Updates! October 29, 2008

I was recently browsing on one of my sources – http://www.KezNews.com/ – and i came across a new article on Windows 7 which has ‘wowed’ me more than Vista has.

It seems as though Microsoft has jumped in with the GUI changes and i must say from the small shots that i’ve seen, it looks quite promising. I’ve also seen some of the few features, and again – promising.

Microsoft seems to have taken after Apple and is becoming more innovative with their features, seems like Apple will have some real competition this time!
