Windows 7 Retains Explorer Fault Known Since NT Days

From DailyTech: Computer users and IT administrators around the globe are waiting for Windows 7. Many companies have still not upgraded from Windows XP due to the backlash against Windows Vista and a myriad of bugs and issues the operating system had upon its release.

The next operating system from Microsoft, Windows 7, is expected to debut in October and the latest Windows 7 RC is available to download now. The demand for the latest RC was so high that the number of requests for the operating system crashed the servers at Microsoft.
