geircito Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Well, on my MacBook Pro I needed to install the RealTek Audio Drivers from the RealTek web site. The Boot Camp audio drivers didn't work. Also I installed official nVidia drivers from nVidia web site (the Boot Camp nVidia drivers DID work, but I wanted to have the latest drivers).

McoreD Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 My question. :) What CD/DVD ROM Emulation programs that do work with this build? Alcohol 52%? DAEMON Tools? Thanks, McoreD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0adband Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Is it just me or do I not see "Beta 1" listed on the desktop tag in this build... pretty sure that since it doesn't say that this means this isn't going to be the Beta 1 build so, why are people in such a huff over it? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 -sighs-... Honestly.. I don't see any difference over Vista, It performs the same, acts the same, pretty much looks the same.. and that's not what I was hoping would happen, I was hoping they'd improve on Vista to the point that if I install Windows 7, I'm not installing a rehashed version of Windows Vista.. seriously.. it's like Vista 2nd Edition... and for that I'm switching back to XP with intent to either buy a Mac, or use Linux.. I'm done with Windows.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McoreD Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Does IE faster at sunspider or get a higher mark on acid 3? 12/100 and then 21/1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done with Windows.. :( Yes, because: Windows 7's taskbar functions the same way it does in Windows Vista doesn't it? 'Aero Peek' and 'Aero Snap' are both in Windows Vista aren't they? Having the functionality to be able to search Flickr (and other web services) inside the native Windows Search ('Federation Searching') was in Windows Vista wasn't it? The useful Libraries feature (which has changed the way people will access their folders) was in Windows Vista wasn't it? A much more functional and improved calculator (complete with 'Programmer' mode and many other new features) was included in Windows Vista wasn't it? Windows Vista was built with touch-screen capable monitors in mind and full touch-screen gestures supported wasn't it? Windows Vista was faster than it's predecessor and more lightweight, with DWM memory usage cut by 50% in regards to that of its predecessor, as well as much less services starting up when Windows starts than its predecessor, wasn't it? Yes, -Hiroshi-... I see your point... :rolleyes: Edited December 27, 2008 by cJr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo1911 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Wish they are actually thinking of adding a new theme or better GUI. cause W7 still looks and feels like Vista on steroids. Now only if they have some last min theme changes and throw in some pleasing theme and i am sold on w7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiWanToby Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I wonder if gaming and punkbuster work alright. Both the classic and PnkA and PnkB service punkbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I wonder if gaming and punkbuster work alright. Both the classic and PnkA and PnkB service punkbusters.

Digitalx Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I wonder if gaming and punkbuster work alright. Both the classic and PnkA and PnkB service punkbusters. I have seem to get it running but it's flip of the coin with battlefield 2. Some servers It runs fine and others punkbuster will dump me for Unknown Windows API Function [131131] So hopefully they'll fix it once beta 1 is a bit more widespread and public.

WelshBluebird Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Just wondering, any chance the new bootscreen works on lower resolution screens? (I know in previous builds it won't work on aspire one because of its resolution). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Zog Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 After using build 7000 for over 24 hours now, I see nothing changed so it must be all under the hood.. As well, the "Classic start menu" is still gone so I am assuming its no longer in Win7.. Runs very stable with my Dell XPS m1730 except the Broadcom driver, which is fine.. I use WiFi.. (Intel 4965 works fine also).. Looking forward to the next build or RTM.. :) As for X64, its out.. a gig bigger. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
