• Windows 7 Release Notes

    Posted on August 8, 2009 at 06:28 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft has just posted the Windows 7 Release Notes. Since the dawn of DOS (sounds like a good title for a movie, eh?), the Release Notes have documented known problems with a new operating system, and given some workarounds.

    The problems listed are few and minor. The only relatively interesting one is this:

    If you use a computer that has Windows Search enabled (Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP with Windows Search installed) and have chosen a custom index location that has a path name longer than 128 characters, the indexer will not start after you have upgraded the computer to this release.

    Of course, you can’t upgrade a Windows XP computer to Windows 7, so I have no idea why the Release Notes include the XP exhortation.
