Why this image is fake:

livebetaswin7so6.jpg

Look at the far right(in all programs):

It says "MSN Messenger 12"

The fact that MSN messenger no longer is available but re-branded with the word "Windows Live Messenger"

And WLM is still currently in private beta as WLM9! How does it jump to 12?

PS:It has the Mac version of WLM Icon

IE8 is currently not out but then how does 11 come up???

Everyone already pointed out that stuff already. Anyone who has ever used Longhorn would know what they were really looking at there.

Hi, Sorry about that.

I am new here and I haven't had time to look at all the posts. I thought that if I posted it then I would be the first without anyone else running away with my thoughts :)

Thanks anyway

dude... your good at it... in your first post ... good luck :p

Friends, those screenshots are FAKE !!

Everyone looked at the version of IE, Windows Messenger, but I am surprised that most of them have failed to look at the Date what is been displayed in the sidebar!!

Here is a bigger version of that portion,

fake-windows-7.jpg

The date says Sunday December 15

Taken that its Windows Seven, and Copyright 2007, what was December 15th, 2007 - Its Saturday!!!!

:laugh:

Most likely not. Microsoft cherishes compatibility, which is a key reason they will be a reason a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Client.

I figured that's more of a hardware compatibility thing, since there are still so many 32-bit computers out there. I'm really hoping they'll clean up a lot of the legacy software clutter though, maybe do backwards compatibility for old programs with virtualization.

Oh wow.

That was good;)

Windows 7.0 with 6.1.x build? That's a fake!

Win7 doesn't exist. All news about Win7 are pure FUD against Vista.

Where you been lately? Because it does actually exist. No REAL screenshots exist though. I'm actually surprised that not even one small screen has come out yet unless it's gone over my head.

The shots are there. Just that like what Nexus says... it's a race for sites to get shut down. that's why we don't see it ;).

Concerning kernel - at the moment M1 could have the same kernel as Vista SP1

You can see previous alpha-builds:

6410.0 (fbl_refactor_dev(jschwart).070409-1035)

6415.0 (debuggers(dbg).070404-1234)

6418.0 (debuggers(dbg).070404-1255)

6429.fbl_multimedia_media.070514-1730

6459.1 (fbl_shell_dex.070826-1730)

6469.1 (fbl_find_dev)

So Win7 exists ;)

there's a lot of challenges to virtualizing legacy software, for example how do you go about implementing inter-process messaging? Without it, you break about every plugin on the planet. Its something Microsoft is looking at AFAIK, but I wouldn't count on seeing it in 7.

    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
