Ya, ya, ya.... I'm ordering about 30 copies today, so I'll probably install it here soon... Get my stripe back on, sick of slow drives

Well time to join, I've been using RC1 for months now, actually only a matter of hours after it was released I think....

Can't wait to use the release build, I hear its even better (currently still build 7100, I think release is 7600 odd?)

Yes release is build 7600

EastCoasthandle · Oct 22, 2009

Has anyone been informed of any downloadable updates for the retail version? Other then what was available for the RC?

EastCoasthandle · Oct 22, 2009

Hmm, I just noticed that Family Safety is only found when you download Windows Live Essentials (part of the downloadable updates). Did someone here mention that they could not find it? If so, that's why.

johnspack · Oct 22, 2009

Guess I might as well throw my hat in. Currently only running Win7 x64 7600. It will also be the first os to go on my new deluxe mobo when I get it!

Wait, can you get XP mode for win7 home prem?

dir_d · Oct 22, 2009

just do the punkbuster manual update worked for my friends running windows 7

c0ldfyr3 · Oct 23, 2009

well i decided to join the band wagon.

WoW plays just the same as in XP Pro, and i am getting the same 60fps in Dalaran. though it does seem to look a bit sharper... not sure why.

startup time is faster, and seems applications are being handled the same as XP, or just as fast if not faster...

only issue i have is not being able to game in 2560x1024 resolution due to drivers not supporting horizontal span view.

Hey C0ldfryr3 welcome to the forum :toast:

. There is an option to fill out your PC specs under User CP then select Edit System Specs. I took note that you thought the IQ looked sharper for some reason. What video card are you using?

eidairaman1 · Oct 23, 2009

anyone know if Vista Drivers work in 7?

I think its funny how all the vista lovers are now saying i love windows 7 its faster more like xp doesnt hog resorces why did you love vista so much then lol???

wierd.

i stuck with xp till this day i hated everything about vista just about to convert my brand new laptop to windows 7 too

vista was better than XP. improvements all around.

there is still a large majority of tech support problems here on TPU that are purely XP based - most people with trouble on a vista OS here these days, its all hardware.

vista truly was far more stable than XP... and 7's better again

most do. use 7 ones whenever you can tho.

Boyfriend · Oct 23, 2009

What's the complete retail build number. Is it same RTM /MSDN /House party build?
7600.16385.090713-1255

AphexDreamer · Oct 23, 2009

Ok can some one or group of people compile a list here detailing all the New Feature and Improvements in Windows 7? I just want it short and to the point. TO lazy to research it.

-DX11
-Improved Multi Core Usage
-New Interface
-etc...

interface is DX10, reducing system ram usage from the 3D aero effects (its easier on a system than 2D, in some ways)

less ram usage than vista
less HDD thrashing than vista (which is an uncommon bug anyway)
its got some really cool shit for limiting what guest accounts can do (great for kids/shared PC's)
got new media stuff, such as the ability to stream direct to other systems - they dont access you, YOU send TO them. (right click a file on PC A, play on (PC 2/Xbox360, media extender)

Win7 uses WDDM 1.1 and Vista uses WDDM 1.0
Multi-touch in Win 7: Self explanatory
Aero Peek: I think you know what this is
Areo Shake: You can shake your current window and cause all other windows to minimize on the task bar.
Improved Taskbar: All icons are stored in a folder like list instead of all on the toolbar and allows you to pin programs/folders to it
Comes with Media Center: located on the taskbar of the desktop
Improved UAC: You can (to some degree) turn UAC off
Improved windows recovery environment
Better integration of peripherals (at time of release)
Action Center: Houses all issues that can be addressed in one section
Improved boot performance (waiting on final review)

Here is a review as well discussing your question.

Delta6326 · Oct 23, 2009
