Windows 7 and You (Plus Some Other News)

Well, first off : ReFRACT v2.0-0 is coming along nicely, it should be ready by the release date and I'll be proudly displaying the completed source code come the 30th. Aside from that, I got my desktop up and running with Windows 7, which is quite nice. However, since it's Microsoft, it's got some problems. First off, my $100 wireless card from Belkin doesn't have a driver for Windows 7, so now I have to buy an $80 USB wireless card and hope that Win7's generic USB wireless card driver works. Whilst my machine is up and running again, I still can't access the Internet. This may cause a delay for the Win32 version of ReFRACT v2.0-0. Quick note, if you didn't realize I changed my formating for versions. This is because I learned it differently when I read the .deb documentation. Essentially it works like this : version.edition-revision. Not very different from my old way, version.edition.revision, but still. Also, in file names it'll be expressed as : 2,0-0 because .'s have been known to interfere with file types on Windows. Anyway, aside from the problem with my wireless card, I'm very pleased with Win7. Not that I'd get off my precious Linux computer to use it for anything other than gaming, but it's nice. Personally, I look forward to playing some Steam games on it. Especially the future game of the year, Global Agenda. However, they haven't gotten back to me on the closed beta. Good news is it's gonna be released Q1 2010, which isn't far off.
