If you go to the windows technet plus here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/subscri....aspx?pv=36:350

You see the windows 7 beta links.

Now whats the difference between :

Windows 7 Beta (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x64_x15-29074.iso

and

Windows 7 Beta Checked Build (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_checked_build_dvd_x64_x15-29064.iso

Whats Beta checked??

Also is this build 7000 or build 7015 or something else?

It's definitely on Connect. Got my keys, and both x64 and x86 flavors are downloading.

Guy asking about checked builds: Don't bother, unless you're a driver developer of some sort.

Driver developers use the checked build of Microsoft Windows to identify and diagnose operating-system-level problems. In the checked build:

• Many compiler optimizations are disabled to make it easier to understand disassembled machine instructions and trace problems.

• Many debugging checks are enabled to help identify internal inconsistencies and problems, including:

• Parameter validation checks

• Internal checks for operating system correctness and consistency

• Informational checks and tracing output, often documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base articles

Most checks in the checked build determine whether values in parameters or data structures are within anticipated typical ranges. Successfully debugging drivers with the checked build requires the developer to understand the reason for each failure that the checked build finds.

It's on connect for me, together with the keys. (Y)

Same for me! Ultimate showed up as "Windows 7 Beta Core Download Package (Contains Everything Most Participants Need)", including the mp3/media patch with it. Cool!

If you weren't already accepted into the technical beta program (listed as the "Windows 7 Beta Program" on Connect), via email invitation, you wont be finding it on Connect.

I guess that is the reason why I can't see it;)

2PM Microsoft time.

Thats going to be a long day:P

Anyway thanks for the info:)

Can someone who is downloading - Windows 7 Beta (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x64_x15-29074.iso from technet.

Check the md5 and see if its the same as :

773fc9cc60338c612af716a2a14f177d

When my download finishes I can verify MD5 and CRC. Please wait....

File sizes match...SHA1 is a match.... It appears the leaked torrent (3.15 gig) of X64 is a match. :)

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
