From a report in todays Daily Mail on the strike:

Quote:
Microsoft has altered plans for the release of its Windows 7 programme because of the strike. Thousands of computer enthusiasts in Britain will get copies of the new software 24 hours before the rest of the world, on October 21, to dodge the action. End Quote:

I can't find the story in the online edition, its on page ten of the newspaper.

Ah, the Daily Fail, very good.

Until I see it plastered across every tech site on the internet (I am not suggesting it's not true, just need better evidence), I'll still expect slightly late delivery.

Guardian reader are you?
