Win7 'showstopper' bug fails to materialize TG D

Rumors of a 'massive' memory leak in Windows seven appear to possess been greatly exaggerated, as Mark Twain may well have said.
While some tech web sites fell more than by themselves to smirk at what was billed a 'show-stopper' for the new OS appearing on shelves in October,Office Home And Student Product Key, we attempted to replicate the fault on two devices and failed to seek out any problem whatsoever,Buy Office 2007 Key, suggesting that the issue has far more to try and do with chipset problems compared to OS alone.
The fault lay with the Chkdsk disk utility which was reported to get gobbling up memory as if there was no tomorrow, eventually resulting in a blue display of death. Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows division,Buy Windows 7 Enterprise, stated the company was conscious of the issue and had explored the issue,Office Home And Business Key, but hadn't been in a position to reproduce the crashes connected with the flaw in 'any measurable number'.
Indeed, Microsoft is now advising customers to generate confident they've the latest drivers put in - which we uncover it challenging to think that all these "technical experts" had failed to try and do. Certainly on two Core two Duo machines operating the 64bit Win7 develop 7100 (the RC version) 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 2.1GB of memory, but levelled out there until the utility finished, 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,Office Standard 2010 Sale,Windows Live Messenger for Nokia 5800,911 clusters. Its memory footprint has actually reduced.
Sinofsky was critical of reports using terms such as "critical" and "show-stopper" to describe the situation, and explained there was no reason to delay the shipping of Windows 7: "While we appreciate the drama of 'critical bug' and then the pickup of 'show-stopper' that I’ve seen, we might take a step back and realise that this may well not have that defcon level," he explained.
"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 problems as they arose', but that this vulnerability 'was not one of those issues'.
