Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Microsoft is doing a real bad job of keeping the lid on Windows 7 builds, as the availability of the latest RC1 Build 7057 software via BitTorrent demonstrates.
Details of Windows 7 have been leaking like crazy
for six months or more. We now know there will be no less than six
versions to choose from
come release and that there are currently around 2000 bugs in the code.
We also know that it has taken at least 1000
developers to get this far,
it only takes one rogue developer to leak a build.
The very latest being Windows 7 Build 7057 Release Candidate 1 which
has followed the previous Build 7048 into the wild in double quick time.
This latest build is now available to anyone with a BitTorrent client,
having been compiled on March 5th 2009 according to the build string it
shows.
It's not all good news for those who don;t care about the legality of
their operating software, as only the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Build
7057 seems to have hit the torrent trackers right now.
There is some good news though, it would appear that this RC1 version
will run until March 2010 according to the all new login screen.
Which all sounds good, but you could just wait until April 9th when
Microsoft is expected to make the real thing, the final thing,
available to the masses.
But, for those interested in such things, what is new in Build 7057?
Well there are those promised changes to the User Account
Control settings which followed disclosure of two vulnerabilities
related to a change in default UAC behaviour.
Otherwise it seems to be all cosmetic: new login screen, new user account imagery, new wallpaper.
