Windows 7 Build 6936 Screenshots IS HERE !


Recommended Posts

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

I hear ya.. finally upgraded to Vista after procrastinating, dual booting, tweaking and so on. The performance is at a level that I like now, and XP is just an OS that I used in the past and enjoyed, much like when I used Windows 98 and loved it.

I think Win7 will be more than just a new taskbar. Sure that's the main focus now, but I expect other new and cool features as well.
I don't know why you would want to use IE anyways. Firefox is where it's at.

LMAO where did that come from Nomad? haha

MY bad, quoted the wrong person. I was referring to the discussion about tabbed browsing in IE. IE is at the bottom of my list of browsers I would use.

1. Firefox

2. Chrome

3. Opera

4. Safari

99. IE

I'm more interested in what your 5 through 98 would be...

LOL, quoted for truth.

@Nomad77: If you were really serious... other than those five browsers, the rest are just Gecko, Trident, or KHTML (Konqueror) shells. And honestly IE8 beta 2's a worthy contender in the browser wars, get with the times.

@ikonizer: What would "impress" you? Just to save you from the inevitable flaming please do not mention the word "WinFS" or link the two words "new" and "kernel" together. :p

I know Windows 7 is just in alpha release at the moment, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not in the least bit impressed. I'm even considering downgrading from Vista back to XP.

and why are you not impressed and why would ya downgrade to an outdated OS What do you like to pay good money for hardware and not take advantage of what it can do. unless you seriously have some bad eyes and assume vista not working right for you then go back to XP

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

Don't see why. Maybe it's just because you're very uninformed.

And a horse to get to work, and candles, and a black and white tv. Move on already.

Explain to me the massive difference between 2000 and XP that can make you compare them as if one was a horse and the other a modern car.

I've never used Windows 2000, but from what I've read, a lot of popular consumer software didn't always run on Windows 2000, and Windows 2000 also lacked a lot of media software that was on the 9x releases like 98 and ME. XP was the first consumer-oriented NT release, which supposedly added a lot of compatibility that the NT line was missing.

Again, I could be totally wrong here, especially seeing as I do know many people who used Windows 2000 with little issue.

+RM20010: Are you seriously going to tell me that IE8 is a contender against Firefox 3.1???

If IE8 is the times then I don't want to get anywhere near them.

IE8 isn't even done and I still prefer it to Firefox. I was never a fan of the Firefox UI, though it is a good, reliable browser. But IE's features like crash recovery, activities, great zoom / high DPI features, and protected mode are all a big deal to me.

Strange, Ive asked a few people who've used it an the same happens to them. It will only display maybe 2-5 results, the rest only show after a couple of page refreshes. It doesnt happen with every search but it is frequent and it happens on XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Is that an animated fish on the desktop?

I know you can already animated the desktop in Visa by typing something like following on the command-promt.

aurora.scr /p65552

hey nifty little trick man...I guess my old butt learns something new everyday :D

do they even make konquerer and the other linux browsers for windows? :o

Since I much don't care or use addons any plus to using FF over IE8 is lost on me. I've been running IE8 since beta 1 and it's been doing good for something that's not finished. I also run IEPro for Ad block, and I'm set. My pages render and work fine, so I don't see the need to change. Before this I used Opera, and still have it installed for the heck of it.

But I don't know why browsers came into this anyways, we're talking about Win7.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
