The release is still many months off. 3rd-party devs shouldn't really be expected to have their Win 7 updates ready yet. ...

Such as? ...

Hard to believe Win 7 is going to move a lot of hardware. I'm running the RC on a two year old laptop with eye candy on full, and it's fine. ...

Wow, how pitiful. My company doesn't deal in anything remotely "top secret", and even we have a policy of zeroing out the sectors of any drive we're dumping. ...

Come on...it's been 13 years! The target market for this game probably hasn't even played DN 3D. Sorry, but the window closed a long time ago. No one cares anymore. ...

Easy if you're willing to wipe out your current config. Just install Win7 first, and then Ubuntu. Ubuntu is smart enough to install Grub on the MBR, and add an option to boot Windows.If you don't want ...

Thinkpad. We know what he meant. ...

I bought an 8800 GTX in August 2007, and can honestly say that (with the exception of Crysis, which is badly optimized) I have yet to find a game that doesn't run well on my rig at 1680 x 1050 with ef ...
