To anyone who has a copy of Windows 7 RC and Ubuntu 9, Can I get a copy please, thanks.
I plan on bringing a bunch of Win7 RC (and hopefully server 2008 R2) dvds for as many people as I possibly can. About the talk ---------------- This is not a 'sales' pitch. We will look at Win7 from a high level. Talk about some of the neat system level improvements on the OS (after all we're tech geeks :) ) and how they translate into better performance, memory use improvements etc and then also look at the more interesting user-facing features, things that will make your life easier. We'll also take a quick look at some of the developer-specific things, new windows APIs (basic overview) and also (if time allows) introduce windows server 2008 R2. Expect a fair number of demos. If people are interested, we can do a series of deep dive talks as follows: 1) Windows 7 for Developers 2) Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 for IT Pros 3) Windows 7 end user productivity features We can do the series in the same week assuming the location will be available. You can consider it free training ahead of the release in order to understand the new OSs and how they could fit into your organization or peronal computing. - but i'll leave this to public demand :) i'd encourage you to invite others, i think it will be time well invested :) On 5/19/09, Allan Kapten <allankapten09@gmail.com> wrote:

I should emphasize that this talk is about the technology - understanding the technology, design decisions and trade offs then how these translate into what the end user sees as the 'features' of a hopefully reliable OS - not OS wars :) On 5/19/09, Mworia Wilfred Mutua <wmworia@gmail.com> wrote:
