It's upto you to post us a CLEAR! Video of the new Boot Screen, the current videos are too blurry and too bright. Can you do a video or something for us please? :D

sorry, but I have the vista boot screen when i boot up... because I had to repair my boot with the 6801 dvd.

the taskbar still looks off to me. seems like such a waste of space how the program/icon text is just thrown in the middle and truncated.

The reason being for the huge taskbar is because Windows 7 is trying to be 'Touch screen' friendly. You can make it the same size as Vista's taskbar in the settings.

Wait, so they got rid of the pop-up thumbnail displays to switch windows?

No one said that?

I know you can change the size and I know why they made it big. I'm just talking about the design elements they chose to implement when it is that big. I don't mind the larger size -- I don't know how to describe it -- but the design just doesn't look elegant with the way text is used and the odd looking translucent borders around no-text/pinned icons on the taskbar.

Damn, Anyone here using IE8beta2? Imageshack doesn't show me any of those pictures posted above. Anyone else have this problem?

Doesn't work for me either on Win 7 6801. The first one did then i couldn't get it to work anymore

I got the Vista boot screen also when i was repairing (not even the 6801 boot screen which of-course is different). Whenever i try to boot the new one though i still get a BSOD (0x0000007b) which states inacessible boot device. I did the repair but still wont work. :argh:

Anyone tried this?

1. Boot Windows 7 DVD

2. Choose Windows Repair

3. start CMD

4. Run Diskpart

5. Create vdisk file=c:\windows7.vhd maximum=100000

6. select vdisk file=c:\windows7.vhd

7. surface vdisk

8. exit Windows Repair (without Reboot)

9. Install Windows 7 to this surfaced VHD

10. Reboots and boots Windows 7 from VHD

That you got from a site i was at too. That's easy enough to do as you create the VHD when you are botting, that doesn't really do the booting from one you already have.

it feels lighter and faster then 6801

and the new aero effects are really nice! (new taskbar etc..)

here are 2 more screenshots:

(sorry for my bad english!)

Looks like they've toned down the glass 'streams'.

If you guys are getting a bluescreen at classpnp.sys try disabling AHCI. I got it working using the following:

BCDedit /copy {current} /d new7
BCdedit /set <guid result of previous command> device vhd=[C:]\vhd\new7.vhd
Bcdedit /set <guid result of previous command> osdevice vhd=[C:]\vhd\new7.vhd

The above was done from within 6801.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
