I wasn't expecting any real drastic changes, just mainly under the hood changes. But thanks for the find!

Same here. Make the system response faster, better hardware support and make it more secure will be fine.

I was used to live with Fluxbox on Linux with a very simple theme, and I loved it. So Windows Aero is fine to me.

Then how did WinFuture get it? Explain that prz. And what about MyDigitalLife?

I can believe that winfuture has it, considering it has screenshots of it's own website running in it. But as for other sites teasing that they have it (like this one) I doubt they have it. Like I said, if it had really leaked it would be all over the place by now. Screenshots of people installing it and so on.

But anyway, it's 4:30am here so nn :p

Wow guys, seriously. This isn't Vanishing Point, calm down. :laugh:

Vanishing point was harder :D I remember the hysteria on Neowin!

WinFuture always gets things way before we do. Don't ask me how, I haven't got a clue, but they just get it.

mybe they know about MS server exploit that allow to access the image database or maybe the guy running winFuture working for MS :laugh: some feeds for thoughts

Microsoft doesnt upload images of them running WinFuture stuff with a DE keyboard? Why the hell whould they do that?

Hmm. I do guess the build WinFuture has is the real beta build, as they also have it in German. I don't think they compile a version in the key languages (english, german, chinese, japanese, spanish and french i think) for every build.

You must be a noobie not knowing people with knowledge could manipulate graphics or fool with files with resource editor in order to make it looks like build 7xxx

you are right. Changing few numbers in photoshop is so easy. That manipulation can be done not only by "people with knowledge" as you said, but by anyone who ever worked with photoshop. Its not hard to finish as a picture to be retoushed. It is easy. I can make you screenshot of Windows build 7485 or 7212 or 7019. Whatever you want.

Anything could be real or fake. People who make fake screenshots just want attention and admiration. Psycho ****s.

In the chinese community, there were a few fakes like the 7014, but apparently this pics were posted by a reputable member, and has been promised to be seeded soon..

The chinese hate fakes as much as we do.. :laugh:

anything is possible.

SS could be true and false.

Im just saying that screenshots can not be trusted until we could download ISO images. That is all. Precausion.

I don't know what Microsoft's doing, but we've seen only 3 builds of Windows 7 the last year or so, and now suddenly there's 7000, 7004 and 7012 (and some sites have a probably faked 7014)... I wonder what's causing this extensive leaking at Microsoft...

First leakes were a regular leaks like with Vista and others. But after it leaked public Windows 7 became popular. So now more and more people want to try to get copy of new builds of Windows 7 from microsoft and leak them out (sort of speak).

Still I think it's strange. Microsoft isn't exactly stuffing away builds on the web, so I'd be surprised if we find more builds if there are just more people looking for it. Leaks always start somewhere internal, and I wonder why it's always the Chinese who have it first...

You think this is extensive? Win 2000, XP and Vista had far more leaks than 7. I suspect that Microsoft has made it harder to be leaked.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
