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.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
