Windows 7 Systems Not Affected by Security Advisory After All
Those who plan to purchase (or have already pre-ordered) Windows 7 can take a sigh of relief - the reported zero-day flaw in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 doesn't affect the final version of the upcoming OS, Microsoft confirmed.
"Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a possible vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) implementation," Microsoft said in the advisory. "We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerabilities or of customer impact at this time."
While that's good news for anyone waiting on Windows 7 to ship next month, those of you running the RC version aren't so lucky. According to Microsoft, the vulnerability does affect the release candidate, but not the final version that was completed in July, Cnet reports.

MS lie detector....one day MS says one thing, two days later its something different.
Take an OS, and edit out all the efficiency, and what you have left is a post-XP Microsoft operating system :)

Or you know
The new OS they have been working on for months is stabbler then the older one and they confirmed that after doing a test pass?
