Hot Fix Patch for Red Alert 3 Coming Soon

In a quick post on the Official C&C Forums, community manger APOC, has announced that a "Hot Fix" patch for Red Alert 3 will made available very soon. A major game breaking issue crept into patch 1.11 affecting the Allied Assault Destroyers.
QUOTE So it turns out this was an unfortunate XML error in the patch, we're fully aware and are going to make every effort to fix it as soon as possible. Due to the 4th of July Holiday weekend, we are unable to acquire all the deploy resources to put a patch out this week. So it will not be fixed this week, unfortunately. Apologies for that but the timing isn't great.
This balance error is impossible for us to monitor and control as its a simple balance exploit that can be abused easily. While we can't tell everyone to please stay away from using the Assault Destroyer in such a fashion, we do politely ask that you refrain from exploiting it as such.
I will let you guys know next week what the outlook is for a hot-fix. The fix is a simple XML modification, as many of you would know, but we will need to go through all of our STEAM, MAC, etc deploy channels to get it out, which is what takes some extra time.
Apologies for this error, we'll address it as soon as possible next week.
-APOC
This "Hot Fix" patch will only address the issue affecting the Allied Assault Destroyers, no other balance changes will be included. These will be looked at with the next primary patch further down the line. The original post can be found here.

Frank Klepacki Comments on C&C 4

Veteran C&C music composer Frank Klepacki has commented briefly on the rumoured Command & Conquer 4. Fans on the Petroglyph Forums asked him if he would be helping with the soundtrack for Command & Conquer 4. He also commented on his work in Red Alert 3 and Uprising.
QUOTE To lay this question to rest, I haven't been privy to anything related to a C&C4. I hear the news the same way you guys do.
I see some back and forth on the work I did for RA3 in this thread... For those of you old school RA die hards, if you were curious what might have transpired if I'd done my own thing with RA3, check out my CD "Infiltrator." It harkens back to my roots of the first 2. Except for maybe the song "Construct" - thats my ode to the 1986 Transformers movie.
Personally I'd like to have Frank contribute to Command & Conquer 4 should all the right pieces fall into place. However guys like Timothy Wynn and James Hannigan, who also did great jobs on Red Alert 3 and Uprising, are more than capable. Click here for the original post.

So how does Red Alert 3 play on Windows 7, the next latest and greatest operating system from Microsoft. According the person who posted the video below on YouTube it plays perfectly fine, apparently much faster than Windows Vista.
While its impressive to see Red Alert 3 performing so well on Windows 7, and this was on Pre-Beta build of the 64 bit edition, I have Windows Vista myself and Red Alert 3 runs extremely well with everything on high details. As in no lag or slow down that the person who posted the described.
