Why not just wait until the Windows 7 Beta at least starts?

This is M1, it's still (at best) 6 to 8 months away from Beta 1.

What's the point in talking about the new version of Windows if all you're going to do is speculate. By downloading it you can get a better idea of what's really there and what's not. It's not like the people downloading it are going to start using it as their main OS. They are just curious to see what is new.

But is it really worth the download before Windows 7 even reaches a respectable milestone like Beta 1?

Personally, I'm content hunting and looking at screenshots until Microsoft actually starts the beta cycle.

I cannot wait for the beta program to begin, I hope they put back some of the things cut from vista.

When did ten days become too old?

If it was a month old then you maybe right. but 10 days?

It was actually 42 days. But given the small number of threads in the Windows 7 forum, I don't think it's a big deal.

So what is the latest build and can I sign up for testing?

I don't think anyone knows what the latest build is, M1 was given to private testers in 2007 and was valid until June 2008. I'm sure they are already testing M2 or whatever.

As for the sign up thing..well you can't just sign up out of blue.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
