OMG Chinese….. They have become a powerful country in the world now. Chinese products are everywhere. But Chinese government sucks when the topic comes to the internet. This problem is not about their speeds :P . China has the worlds biggest firewall AKA Great firewall. I think you know that :D . So recently Chinese government included one of biggest sites currently drooling over the internet. That is “bing” microsoft’s new search engine which competes with google. Looks like china sailing a tight ship by blocking famous sites such as Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Live.com, Hotmail.com, Blogger and a number of other sites. According to china the reason is politics lol.

Recently I had received a email from microsoft regarding that they made mistake when they sending microsoft Windows 7 beta expiring date. lol Here it is the email from microsoft,

Exploring Windows: Special Beta Edition — Correction

Because you signed up to test the Windows 7 Beta, we recently sent you mail about the expiration dates for the Beta and Release Candidate. Unfortunately, we made a mistake.

We said the Beta would start shutting down every two hours on June 1, 2009. The correct date is July 1, 2009.

The rest of the dates in the mail were correct. Here’s a quick summary:
Version:

Starts shutting down every two hours:

Expires:
Beta

July 1, 2009

August 1, 2009
Release Candidate

March 1, 2010

June 1, 2010

We apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused.

Thanks again for helping us test Windows 7.

I wrote a post about the expiring dates of the windows 7 beta (not the Release Candidate). you can find it out here. They previously said their beta will begin to restart every 2 hours from 1st of June. But now they are telling that it is July 1st and not June 1st. This emails delivered to many beta testers worldwide. So when they emailing their clients they should be more responsible about the accuracy of their massages and don’t send this kind of foolish mails lol.
