Windows 7 dominated the most popular articles again this week on vnunet.com.
The first release candidate for MSDN and TechNet subscribers was made available on 30 April, and this was followed by general availability on 5 May. Integration between Windows 7 and XP was also a hot topic, with news that Parallels plans to offer an XP applications compatibility product for Windows 7, and a labs blog post on using Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 also proving a hit with readers.
Also popular was the news that Google is facing legal troubles over the use of the Android name, and our latest top 10 article rounding up the worst computer viruses.
