Just a quick question. Minimal requirements concerning RAM and CPU?

I found the QnA thread and found my answer, sorry for this post!

Theres nothing official right now, all has been said is that if your system runs Vista then it will run 7. Also on the same system you can expect 7 to be at least as fast (performance wise) as Vista assuming you've got decent drivers.

I don't know who creamhackered is lol.

He's a pretty well respected member of the Windows Beta community. He's been around for a while now, that I know of at least since the XP/Longhorn betas, and has (most) always had reliable and accurate information. He knows what he's saying, so coming into a thread and claiming what he says is "probably fake" is not wise.

I see. Good info to know. I'm not the type to scream fake at every single post in a beta thread. It's always funny to go back like a year later and see that all the people that were crying fake were completely wrong :)

The only thing that could change 7000 from being beta 1 is this MP3 fiasco but as far as I am aware they haven't had time to recompile and instead have done a QFE patch to be pushed out :) 7015 was the latest but that will have changed now as all the MS folk are back to work and compiling hard again.

True, a person can be wrong. However, if you look at the reputation that creamhackered has earned for himself, you would find it unlikely that he would be posting information without knowing what he is talking about. As was earlier mentioned, those of us who were around for the XP betas and Longhorn betas can attest to his credibility. It is always entertaining come beta time to see the users that start throwing around build numbers and guesses about release dates as if they have a clue.

Im not saying he is wrong. Im just saying, unless he is an Internal Microsoft worker*, he cannot prove, unless he has the dvd/iso on him, so he COULD be wrong. Also, I said I HOPE, not I know. I guess I could say, Its always entertaining come beta time, some user will come and ridicule other users because they are guessing release times, because they DO want to try the new beta software.

* He lives in London, Uk, according to his location.

I wasn't referring to you in that quote. I was making a general reference to the fact that come beta time, there are so many people that all of a sudden start throwing out dates and build numbers, that it is hard to keep track of who is credible and who is just blurting out numbers. I want to get my hands on the x64 version of this beta just as bad as anybody else. However, all of the guessing in the world isn't going to do any good. I apologize if you perceived it as an attack on you -- I certainly didn't mean for it to be.

Connect works, i'm logged in :) no Windows 7 :p

Also 7015.0.081218-1724 does not seem right.

6.1.7013.0 was built 081220-1600 - So how can Build 7015 be built before 7013 am i making sense?

So Build 7015 is 18th Dec 08

And Build 7013 is 20th Dec 08

See where i'm coming from?

v6.1.7003 was 01/12/08

v6.1.7004 was 03/12/08

v6.1.7012 was 15/12/08

      I named Hitler because he is the de facto anti-semite. But you don't have to hate Jews to be a genocidal maniac. In fact, these days, so called semites are the ones acting in ways that would make Hitler proud.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
