Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 Screenshots

[Belarathon]

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:

I was just at BBS.PCBETA.COM...what a hoot! They seem even less impatient for someone to seed. There's a good deal of humor in play there as well, which is even apparent after a Google translation. It seems some things are just universal.

If the Chinese only knew how butt ugly their site looks.

If the Chinese only knew how butt ugly their site looks.

Over time, I've come to see that Chinese, and Japanese, maybe East Asian sites in general always flowed a different way. It's probably a different design aesthetic or something. Whatever it is, it doesn't look particularly, "Ugly" to me.

[Mastodont]

It looks "cheap".

Desktop gadgets? ClearTypeText Tuner? System icons? Credential Manager?

What's that? I know sidebar gadgets, cleartype on/off, System icons - what does this button do? Credential manager - em... dunno.

[Inctye]

Hmm...no plain desktop screenshot that allows us to see the watermark? Fishy...lol

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...

All I want is for Windows to remember my folder view settings, for ONCE. Is that too much to ask?

[ToneKnee]

What the hell is going on with all these leaked builds and not a single ISO flying around?

[freakyfriday]

there is no leaked builds. just some fake screenshots

[dcoaster]

Desktop gadgets? ClearTypeText Tuner? System icons? Credential Manager?

What's that? I know sidebar gadgets, cleartype on/off, System icons - what does this button do? Credential manager - em... dunno.

System icons allows you to turn off the stuff in the system tray such as Clock, Volume, Network, Action Center, etc.

Credential Manager allows you to store your logins and passwords for websites and such.

[Mastodont]

What about this?

[dcoaster]

What is that?

[Mastodont]

thats what I am asking about.

[Inctye]

What about this?

At best, it looks like a internal download screen? Once again it looks like beta will be build 7000 and finished on 12/12/08. Considering the file post dates are 12/22/08 might mean the last 10 days was QA period. Who knows, I could talking a bunch of crap.

[Mastodont]

Maybe...

So far, I've not had 7 forget a setting once...so far.

..so maybe..they fixed it!

[Chocolate Afghan]

I might be the only person who actually used sleep. Microsoft tried to push sleep because it is a pretty low power state with an instant boot time.

Seems like a half baked work around for something that should be solved rather than ignored - as with the case of pushing sleep onto end users.

I guess not all configs work well with it, or some people just hated it?

People don't like it simply because they thought they were turning off their computer (to save power) only to find that it wasn't happening. I don't know about you, but some of us here actually have to pay the electricity bill - and I certainly don't want to be paying for appliances I thought were actually turned off (when they weren't).

You may not think there is much power used; but imagine several hundred thousand computers put into sleep and the power consumed.

[Ambroos]

And many people set their PC's to sleep (thinking it's shutting down), then unplug it, and when they boot it up again it gives all these funky wrong shutdown messages, and you never know what the average Joe does when they keep getting the same error messages...

Yes this was fixed in Win7 and Vista SP2, although I think a related fix (increasing the number of remembered folders) won't be in the Win7 Beta release (but will be in later releases).
