MP3 Problem solved! :)

To protect your MP3 files

1. Before you install this Beta release, back up all MP3 files that might be accessed by the computer, including those on removable media or network shares.

2. Install the Beta release of Windows 7; download and install the Update to Windows 7 Beta (KB961367) located on this page.

Okay, why the Chinese Technet? I would assume that the United States Technet already has Windows 7 unless they've planned to have the Chinese be the first peope able to obtain a copy.

Anyways, I would again assume that only the people are subscriber's to Microsoft Technet (A program for IT Professionals), and Microsoft MSDN (A program for Microsoft Developers). They pay for this kind of previlages, and Microsoft want valuable feedback. If I was developing such a huge project for many people around the world I would not accept any feedback consisting "I wub Windows Seven!!!W".

Now if they do allow the public, and I mean the general public to receive the copy legally then I would advise to use your time, and give them your own experience with it. They don't need your system specifications as they receive a lot of details of your system through their program you send your feedback with. :)

The new Internet Explorer, can translate text pretty fast. Neat. Hopefully that gets out of beta soon.

Are there any new info what it takes to run 7 nicely? Apparently it's to use less stuff then vista, but I wanna know what it will run on smoothly.

I have P4 @ 3.0ghz, 2gig ram, and an 8400gs, anyone have any experience with speed wise?

From the windows blog:

On January 9th, the Windows 7 Beta will be available for Windows enthusiasts to download via the Windows 7 page on Windows.com. The Windows 7 Beta is going to be available download-only (we?re not sending out physical media) anavailable for a limited time to the first 2.5 million people who download the beta.b>

Are they intentionally trying to crash their own servers?

W00t???

But he probably will spend a lot of time showing Windows 7. The OS is now "feature complete" and a new beta will be available for the general public to try out on Friday. Microsoft will cap the beta after about the first 2.5 million downloads. Microsoft developers, including MSDN, TechNet and TechBeta subscribers, will be able to download the beta Wednesday night, two days earlier than the general public, Beilinson said.

The minimum recommended hardware for the beta includes a 1GHz processor, 1GB of system memory, 16GB of available disk space and support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (to enable the Aero theme), Microsoft said. The recommendations may change for the final product, it said.

Microsoft isn't updating its official ship date for Windows 7, which is still early 2010, though some pundits expect it to ship in time for the busy back to school season later this year.

Does that number mean total number of downloads including subscribers who have access to it now, or just downloads after its open to the public?

And wtf at Tripod singing horribly during the keynote.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
