I’m sure everyone has played with Lego bricks at some point in their childhood and the same goes for me, but give them to a creative adult and you would be surprised at what they can come up with.

Microsoft has just released the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Release Candidate on the 26th of October, 2010. That is a mouthful of words, which if you didn’t get it – refers to the Release Candidate version of Windows 7 SP1, and also Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Which means that the real thing (ie the SP1) will probably be out early next year. So if you’re into operating systems and have the time to try out leading edge technology before the rest of the people, head over to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ff183870.aspx to get your copy.
For the Release Candidate, the only languages available are English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
