Windows 7 woos

Windows 7 is going to be launched soon. I wonder if the HDMI-audio problem will be resolved by then. I've tested beta build 7000 and it worked with older drivers but when moved to beta build 7100 and later, the audio failed to function..

It's certainly a show-stopper for folks having ATI HDMI motherboards and intend to use Win7 for a media-center.

New stuff coming this-and-next month (Sept/Oct) 2009

The highly anticipated Google Wave is supposedly going to take the world by storm this month - perhaps the next Killer App we've been waiting for. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave for more information.




Microsoft's Windows 7 will hit the streets in October while Intel's new Centrino chipset (Calpella platform - sixth-generation Centrino platform) will supposedly launch on the same date as Windows 7.
