Rumors of a 'massive' memory leak in Windows seven look to have been tremendously exaggerated,
Office Professional 2010 Sale, as Mark Twain may possibly have said.
While some tech sites fell above by themselves to smirk at what was billed a 'show-stopper' for the new OS appearing on shelves in October, we attempted to replicate the fault on two machines and failed to seek out any problem in any way,
Office Standard 2007, suggesting the concern has far more to try and do with chipset problems compared to OS by itself.
The fault lay with the Chkdsk disk utility which was reported to be gobbling up memory as if there was no tomorrow, at some point leading to a blue screen of death. Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows division, mentioned the organization was mindful in the concern and had explored the issue,
Office Professional Product Key, but hadn't been capable to reproduce the crashes related to the flaw in 'any measurable number'.
Indeed,
Office Standard 2010, Microsoft is now advising consumers to generate positive they've got the newest drivers put in - which we uncover it difficult to think that every one of these "technical experts" had failed to complete. Surely on two Core two Duo devices operating the 64bit Win7 develop 7100 (the RC edition) right here - a desktop with an Intel 965 chipset and a laptop with an 965 Express, both with 4GB of RAM - we encountered no problems whatsoever.
Chkdsk /r running on a two terabyte secondary (not system) NTFS volume quickly gobbled up two.1GB of memory, but levelled out there until the utility finished,
Windows Registry Cleaner and Repair Registry Mechanic, as illustrated below. In the first screenshot, Chkdsk is 10 percent complete and has processed 4705 files and in the second, taken some time later later, it has munched its way through 107,670,911 clusters. Its memory footprint has actually reduced.
Sinofsky was critical of reports using terms such as "critical" and "show-stopper" to describe the issue, and stated there was no reason to delay the shipping of Windows seven: "While we appreciate the drama of 'critical bug' and then the pickup of 'show-stopper' that I’ve seen, we may well take a step back and realise that this may possibly not have that defcon level," he stated.
"Bugs that are so severe as to require immediate patches and attention would have to get no workarounds and would generally be such that a large set of people would run across them in the normal course of using their PC."
He added that Microsoft would continue to 'address issues as they arose',
