Windows 7 Build 6936 Screenshots IS HERE !

OMG! People liking and using Windows 2000 should be banned from the Internet and confined to Intranets only!

why? Windows 2000 is a very good OS in its own rights, unfortunately it's not updated anymore so I wouldn't count on it for anything critical but it's still a good OS

Not sure what happened to my previous post, it might got deleted but i will repeat.

Windows 2000 GUI is the best looking OS GUI till this day. That classic view had specific shade of gray color which is not found in any of other Microsoft Releases.

Windows GUI is getting worse and worse with Windows XP release.

I miss Windows 2000 Professional, and it was and it's still the best OS ever released.

I think Windows 7 is going to be better then Vista, much better GUI wise which one step forward. I'm glad Microsoft is going to remove Windows Mail. We really don't need duplicates Live Mail -> Windows Mail and things like that.

Could you explain what "specific shade of gray" is being used, and where, that isn't in any other Windows release? Because Windows Classic on both XP and Vista look identical to Windows 2000, other than the icon sets used. Not to mention that while Windows 2000 may have had a different shade of gray, it can still be duplicated in XP and Vista by changing the hex color codes.

Windows 2000 was a good OS back in it's time. But for today, even if they did update it still with security patches, when you have to add in support for newer tech and so on, then you'll end up changing the core OS anyways. Thus, you get a new Windows version in the end.

Like it or hate it Vista has done needed core OS changes, doing those was never going to be a smooth transition in the end, but it had to happen.

It is updated regularly. So far two major updates called Windows XP and Windows Vista. Next scheduled update is Windows 7. ;)

haha I'll lol to that! :laugh:

Doesn't it make you wonder why Apple is rushing Snow Leopard for January to compete with Windows 7? It makes you question the quality control aspect too.

Im undecided about the new task bar... I like the idea but its a bit on the large side..Hopefully you can make it smaller.

you're kidding right?

as has been mentioned many times before, the new taskbar is a whole 10 pixels larger. and if you cant afford 10 pixels of screen real estate, then there is an option for 'smaller icons' which brings the taskbar height down to the old size

maybe they were expecting a later ship date for win7 and were hoping to go up against it with osx 10.7 Lion or something.. j/k

Well, of course there is branch caching, that might really be a very nice new feature, especially for companies, and bitlocker doing usb sticks come to mind as well.

Also I'm very very pleased with the new media center, as it really provides new features and things that really should have been implemented long ago (like the ability to resume and fast forward movies other then the build in format used by media center, now these also work on xvid and similar formats).

Regarding Snow Leopard, maybe Apple will finally be able to make SMB packet signing work (one of the 300+ new features of Leopard as promised by Apple, that particular feature still doesn't work in Leopard 10.5.5).

That way domain admins don't have to lower security just because they have some OSX machines on their domain...

One thing I don't like, but that just is a part of the new Media Center update (also available for Vista) is that recorded tv is now saved in a new format (.wtv, old was .dvr-ms) that can also record in HD. Only thing is, it uses about 1GB for 10 minutes. A one hour recording took 6GB of space. Standard definition. That's HUGE, ten times as much as old .dvr-ms...

Wow, I have one recorded show that takes up 1,2 GB of space and lasts for 38 minutes, but I have to admin that I haven't changed, nor did I find a way yet to change the recording quality settings.

edit after a quick google, it became apparent that you cannot change the quality for digital tuners, that's where I get confused I guess, as on my main media center I have an analogue tuner.

OSX Snow Leopard is just like Win7 will be. Cleaning up and performance boosting. No really special new features that you'll notice (except maybe the taskbar in W7)

Well that's not really fair. I mean, I think there are already some cool uses for my new feature popping up.

Yea, of course, but it still is mainly under-the-hood. No big changes.

yehyehyeh, nice eye-candy an all that, but does windows explorer have tabbed-browsing?

Tabbed browsing... Is that really so important? Everyone keeps asking for it, but I think having two explorer windows open and just dragging each one to a side does a fine job for quick file transfers from one folder to another.

Thats right, tabbed browsing of windows explorer though some may find it great for most part is useless and more of a pain then a gain.

Exactly. I can't even count how many people asked me how to disable tabs in IE7 because they found it to complicated. Better not change things that are good.

Windows 2000 is probably the best performing OS Microsoft ever released.

Zippy, feature streamlined and good for gaming at the time.

I think, if implemented right, tabbed browsing in Windows Explorer could be really useful. However, it's not a major thing that needs addressing and there are more important issues and features. For example, the new taskbar is amazing and I'm glad something like this got focus over something like a tabbed Windows Explorer.

It would be nice to see a tabbed Windows Explorer though. It would make positioning the Windows easier when copying as you wouldn't have to try and get them side by side, you could just drag and drop the files to the tab you want to move/copy them to and keep your one Windows Explorer window the size you wish always :)

If there was a 2000 x64 I'd still be using it.

and i am sure you would use windows 3.1 if it had a 64bit version yet lacked hardware device drivers and software compatabilty and stuff . but that is beside the point you would still try and sue it cause it is 64bit and uses hardly no resources

    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
