According to The Windows 7 Team Blog, Microsoft will release Windows 7 on October 22, 2009 just in time for the holiday season. There will be six versions of Windows 7; Starter Edition, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate, and Home Basic. The price for each version hasn’t been released.

After working with the beta version and now with the RC, I’m looking forward to this release. I’ve been using XP because of all of the horror stories associated with Vista when it was released and I really like the way that 7 (or as some put it Vista RC2) manages memory, especially when you have multiple applications running.

Memorial Day is regarded as the “unofficial beginning of summer”, but to me it’s a day where I can say thanks to all my service Brothers and Sisters who have given the ultimate price for this country.

Those 10 years helped shape me into what I am today, so thank you Veterans of the past, present, and future for standing up when called upon and defending freedom.

The latest release of BlogEngine.net  was officially released yesterday after spending a week or so in Release Candidate state and it’s version 1.5. There’s a couple of great new items like nested comments, improved Metaweblog API which works great with Windows Live Writer as well as some performance tune-ups. Is it worth upgrading from 1.4.5? You bet! You should do it now as a matter of fact!

However, the official release (build 1.5.07), even after spending time as a RC, had a few minor problems, none of which are deal breakers in my opinion. More...
