Peaches Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Microsoft: Next step for Windows 7 is a release candidateWindows engineering exec confirms move straight to RC from beta, but no dates given January 30, 2009 (Computerworld) By Gregg Keizer The head of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows development confirmed today that Windows 7 will take the unusual path of moving straight from a single beta, which was launched earlier this month, to a release candidate. However, Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president in charge of the Windows engineering group, declined to spell out a timetable for the rest of the Windows 7's development. "This is in no way an announcement of a ship date, change in plans or change in our previously described process," said Sinofsky in a long entry to a company blog early Friday. Although Microsoft said last year at several hardware conferences that it would jump from a public beta to a release candidate (RC), Sinofsky fleshed out the plan today and hinted that just as there would be no Beta 2, the company would also not provide a RC2 build. http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...tsrc=hm_ts_head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
