Windows 7 thread!

Lillebror · Mar 10, 2009

When your company gets to big, it can monopolize! its like if all dell\hp\whatever prebuilt computer you could buy, all came with an intel cpu - Then normal people dont have the choice to get something else. If microsoft removed the windows media player and instead got Winamp or something else in, then the eu wouldnt say anything about it. But its cause its Microsoft thats making it, and we DONT want everything to be made by microsoft.

ste2425 · Mar 10, 2009

I only see it as a problem if they prevent other applications from taking over its job. the Eu union are the ones that blocked this, and its rather retarded.

i completally agree thats what i was trying to say an i just didnt do it very well

its deamon tools that needs an update, not win 7.

You need to use slysoft virtual clone drive, its the only virtual drive software that doesnt cause crashes/screwups over time.

it does have a lot more buttons. However, on my W7 PC i dont have a mouse - just the touchpad on my dinovo. you should see my stick figures.

oooohh...is the stick figure remark a euphemism?

Writing this from build 7057 x64, the fastest running os I've seen to date. Faster than my xp64 even. Totally blows away vista at this point! Sure hope others have tried this pre rc build! (some said possibly rc1, I say not quite yet...but close)

freaksavior · Mar 18, 2009

more i use windows 7 the more i like it.

InnocentCriminal · Mar 18, 2009

These new builds, where d'you guys acquire them from? I'm still on 7000, I would have thought Windows Update would... update accordingly but I guess not.

win update will never update builds. ever.

You need to check your favourite P2P site if you want newer builds, as they are not publicly released.

InnocentCriminal · Mar 18, 2009

Thought as much.

pantherx12 · Mar 18, 2009

I've barely got 7048 D:

Is it worth downloading this new build at all?

MAGMADIVER · Mar 20, 2009

I am running 7057 as well and I like it very much just know that i has a bug with a notepad popping up on startup... it is an easy fix but other than that I love it very much...the more I use it the more natural it feels...W7 really is vista done right. that link to fix the notepad bug is here http://www.askvg.com/windows-7-build-7057-leaked-screenshots-and-changes-list-inside/

I'm sorry, 7057 x64 is just not that fast. I'm using it right now, and it's fast enough to make me not totally disappointed but Windows Vista Business x32 on the same PC beat this up and down the block on most benchmarks. And neither is even CLOSE to fastes OS. If you want speed you use Free-BsD, period.

farlex85 · Mar 20, 2009

I haven't really see that great of speed either. Sure intial boot is faster after the desktop appears, simply b/c vista is my main OS hence has most things on it (and 7 currently has less in the background). Apps, browsing, post to desktop, games, ect, all of that is very similar to vista for me.

johnspack · Mar 30, 2009

Well, 7068 is looking really good. Desktop bug is gone. Seems faster this time, guess it changes from build to build. I can still use all vista64 drivers on it, but had to use a specific modded older x-fi driver for sound. Compatibility is good, I'm able to run an old game called red baron 3d from 1998 on it perfect. New games also run perfect. Anyway I look at it, this is much better than vista. Build 7070 is out, gotta go dling some more.....

i personally have to disagree with you. i think that 7057 is much faster than any other o/s that microsoft has put out, and its certainly better than vista. i also feel that it is MUCH more stable than vista is, even 2 years after it was released.

There's nothing to disagree with. I can't be wrong. You may have had different experiences, but that doesn't make me wrong. On my laptop Windows Vista business was faster than Windows 7 is, period. Benchmarks don't lie. As far as stability is concerned, Windows 7 is definitely more stable than Vista was at release, but not sure if I'd say it's more stable than Vista is when currently patched up to date with SP 1/2.

how long are these beta versions activated?

The official beta Build 7000 is till August, 2009. Mine is till May, 2010. Mine's one of the leaked builds that was sent to OEM's for testing and was later leaked to the public though and not one that was intentionally made available to the public.

Am I right in thinking a 7000 product key will work with 7068?

Yes you are right, I've used the same key to active Build 7000, 7057, and 7068.
