Microsoft last week urged Windows 7 beta testers to return their machines to the Windows Vista operating system before upgrading to the impending release-candidate version of the new software.
Windows 7 Release Candidate, the next milestone for the operating system, is expected to be available sometime next month.
In a post on its Engineering Windows 7 blog, Microsoft asked users to revert to Vista to ensure that their upgrade process is “something real-world customers will experience.”
Microsoft said that bugs or other problems reported while upgrading from one prerelease build to another aren’t worth fixing. “We don’t always track them down and fix them because they take time away from bugs that would only manifest themselves during this one-time prerelease operation,” it said.
Microsoft acknowledged the difficulty that its request poses to users. “We know that means reinstalling, recustomizing, reconfiguring and so on. That is a real pain,” it said in the blog…

The ad, which has just aired for the first time in the US, shows Microsoft founder Bill Gates and comedian Jerry Seinfeld trying to “reconnect with real people” by moving in with a “normal” family.
It features Gates doing the robot dance and reading bedtime stories while Seinfeld – who was paid $US10 million for his part in the campaign – becomes embroiled in family politics.
The ad has been interpreted as a metaphor for what Microsoft is trying to achieve with the campaign. Whereas Apple’s “I’m a Mac” ads have been interpreted as an elitist Mac user bashing an ordinary PC user, the Microsoft ad positions the company as connecting with ordinary people…
Have the tables turned? Decide for yourselves…here are 40 pretty good reasons to switch back to Microsoft Vista.
The latest Windows packs a lot of code — more than any version of Windows ever — and some of it is just plain unnecessary. All of that excess code has a way of slowing down an operating system. You can regain some PC performance by removing unneeded features.
Computeruser identified a dozen Vista features that you can turn off right now. Some are shiny baubles that slow down graphics performance, while others are optional utilities that hog memory when they shouldn’t. A few can actually be quite useful, though they play a major role in bogging down your PC…

Evidently spurred on by the reception it got at Thursday’s financial analysts meeting, Microsoft has decided to move ahead with plans to turn the Mojave project into a full-fledged Windows Vista marketing effort.
As first reported by CNET News, Microsoft last week interviewed XP users who were skeptical of Vista and showed them what it called a secret new version of Windows, “Mojave.” It was in fact Vista. The results, according to Microsoft executives, were almost universally positive, with participants expressing surprise when told it was actually Vista they had been using.
For now, Microsoft has put up a teaser site, with plans to show the actual video footage next week…
