Get in quick – only the first 2.5 million downloads will get it.
On January 9th, the Windows 7 Beta will be available for Windows enthusiasts to download via the Windows 7 page on Windows.com. The Windows 7 Beta is going to be available download-only (we’re not sending out physical media) and available for a limited time to the first 2.5 million people who download the beta.
I’ve been using Windows 7 pre-beta for a few months. It’s pretty solid.
ThinkPad thermal shutdown
One of my laptops kept shutting down during use; after a lot of testing it turned out to be temperature related.
I downloaded and installed a cool utility – Notebook Hardware Control – and tweaked the ACPI settings for my machine.
The CPU was running at over 95°C and the laptop was performing a safety power down.
The fan is much more agressive now – and the CPU is running at 75°C – a lot better.
ITIL Expert – the purple badge
My ITIL Expert cert and badge arrived from Brisbane this morning.
Thanks to “The Art of Service” people!
openSUSE 11.1
I’m downloading the two DVDs via uTorrrent right now.
Looks like I’m one of the fastest seeds sharing this on the West coast – lots of outbound connections from here – 800k/s out. I’m going to throttle that back before it takes down my VOIP.
