I was attempting to update from the Wordpress trunk, I believe, today. In the bottom right hand corner of the admin panel, you can see the following.
You are using a development version (2.7-beta3). Cool! Please stay updated.
I click on stay updated and I get to the admin page for updates in 2.7. I had two choices, [...]
I was going to install Adobe Dreamweaver for a friend, however, he’s so lucky to have Vista. The problem is that Vista has issues. You can get an error when you try to install.
