| Through our sources close to Microsoft, we can now confirm that the Windows 7 RTM build that will be chosen over the next few days will be officially announced on July 13th, 2009, the same day as the WPC09 (Worldwide Partner Conference) will take place in New Orleans.
As I just mentioned, Microsoft is still in the process of testing and choosing from the RTM candidate builds as they need to ensure that all show-stopper bugs present in the OS have been eradicated to ensure as much of a smooth, bug-free release as possible. TechNet, MSDN, and other partner connections will be getting their hands on the RTM build shortly after, if not on the same day. |

Mozilla Firefox 3.5 reviewed

A quote from the article:
| Firefox 3.5 is a major improvement over Firefox 3, though casual users probably won't notice any difference. For many people, the browser wars are all about one thing: speed. There's no doubt that version 3.5 is faster than version 3, thanks to the new JavaScript engine, but it still frequently crashes - at least it does on my Vista machine running Flash-based sites. If you're a Firefox user you should definitely upgrade. Personally, I prefer the simplicity and reliability of Google's Chrome. Considering Mozilla has been working on the browser for a year, it has already announced it will patch the 1-day-old Firefox 3.5 in the next few weeks to stamp out several bugs that went unfixed in the final version. This is typical of open-source software. Firefox 3.5.1, which Mozilla intends to deliver in mid-to-late July, will include fixes for at least three bugs and 'topcrashes,' the term the company uses to describe the frequently-reported crashes. Like many applications, Firefox asks users to report crashes by displaying a prompt after the browser goes down. One of the topcrashes scheduled for a fix involves TraceMonkey, the new, faster JavaScript engine. |
