In my opinion, all these videos and screens are fake. Microsoft is not going to have the same thing happen that happened with longhorn. Windows 7 has probably been in syncronized development with Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 since Vista RTM and should not contain major changes from that form. Essentially it continues development of where Vista left off and should inherit some features cut from longhorn. Based on all the developmental changes made during Vista related to componentization, it has become alot easier/quicker for development labs to develop and test code, but I still don't expect to see anything real until Beta 1 which will not be until the end of the year. There are strict stability requirements before labs can insert their code to the main builds and not many UI changes will occur at once. It has been said the review accurately describes the M1 build and this information is probably true. I don't think there will be any real leaks or screenshots with this one until it goes beta. Microsoft will cut off alpha code shipments to the suspected OEM(s) and isolate their testing to their TAP groups. They will not risk bit leaks this time and the beta will be tightly controlled as well.

is ant XDDM drive format used for windows XP on down as the main driver model if so why would windows 7 need XDDM based drivers as the mian driver model as i would think Microsoft would still be using WDDM

You are correct. XDDM is the old driver model. All new things require WDDM.

of WINDOWS 8 !!!

Otherwise a Windoes 7 video.

ps. the W8 is still sooo secret it does not even have a codename yet (like W7's Vienna;) like W8 is so uber the user can access the taskbar and control panel simply through mindcontrol! as long as they accept an implanted tracking rfid chip about the size of half a grain of rice.

Looks like Microsoft is NOT planning to release Windows 7 in 2009. Microsoft's official response, by an email dated 26th January, 2008, to WinVistaClub's enquiry, states that Windows 7 is still in the planning stage and will take approximately 3 years to develop.

While the answers to the other 2 questions may have been on predictable lines, what is important to note that Microsoft TODAY maintains that Windows 7 is STILL in the planning stages and it will take approximately 3 (more) years to develop.

theres a few torrents on pirte bay that showed up today

might be it...so i suggest downloading it and finding out forourselves :D

Welcome to Neowin first off. Secondly if you Violate the rules of Neowin your Punishment will be harsh you will spend 10 days in isolation from a computer in a dark moldy moist Room with someone who has not had a Bath in 60 Days .

Naw man welcome but do not post anything about getting somthing that is not legal or so it is not allowed in Neowin Rules

    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux. I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux DXVK.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
    • That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list. 
    • So, the logo means No ducking AI?
    • For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
