See the Windows 7 gold RTM disc at the MGX event.
Here are pictures (courtesy Brandon LeBlanc) from Microsoft's MGX event in Atlanta yesterday where Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Windows Division president Steven Sinofsky and COO Kevin Turner signed off on Windows 7 build 7600 as RTM. Soon the contents of that gold RTM disc will be sent out to partners for further testing and integration into new systems shipping this fall.

seriously tho, its a nice feather in microsofts hat. 'we've sold more copies of win7 than vista... and win7 isnt even out yet.' (thats not a real quote.)
Why would it matter, if it is a DVD which it more than likely is, the recording layer is sandwitched between two pieces of plastic. A sharpie's ink would have to be made of pure sulfuric acid to make it through that layer and cause harm.
also what hair do? the guy is bald not much you can do unless you want him to wear a toupe. I agree though I've seen photos and movies of him being a bit crazy but a guy with that much wealth and power has to be pretty bright, I mean in the regard seeing as he isn't an oil tycoon.
anyway good luck microsoft I'm sure people will complain about windows 7 soon after launch as they do with any MS product but I won't. I just wonder if this will solve people's driver issues who want to use their clunky 10 year old scanners and printers which worked fine in XP.
I have seen authoring discs that are gold on top, mostly ones for sale on ebay which are master copies of music for recording from. It may be industry standard to use a gold color disc for this purpose to differentiate it from other media in a work space.
It's Soooo 1995.
Get out your Vistas & Windows7, go to Drive properties - yep, no different from Windows95. The ugly blue & purple pie-chart maybe there forever!
But they at least put the ribbon system on the MS-Write and MS-Paint programs that almost nobody uses.
They should take the Japanese route. Have a bunch of hot chicks (Go ahead and make them Japanese) wearing cute/hot outfits holding CDs. Or at least clapping in the background.
Don't make me pirate another OS! I finally have money (2 grand a month may be shit, but when your living expenses are around 500-600 a month, 2k works just fine).
"Start" get it?... mauahaahahaaa... uahahaha... ha... hmmmmm........ O.o
