Windows 7 is definitely a good OS (Y).

Performance - slightly slower then Vista on test machine (this is an older machine mind you)

Boot Up - Slower then Vista (again been an older system gotta give it leeway there)

UI - Very nice, loving the "Superbar", the overall UI seems cleaner and more consistant then Vista overall (but still few issues here and there, like the iconless toolbars!)

Overall - Shaping up very nicely, the smaller install size (half the size of my Vista install) is definitely nice. While it did seem slower then Vista and I have to admit had some mouse issues and the UI was a bit sluggish at times, I think that was more because of the test machine then 7, as in my VM copy the performance increase was very noticeable! (VM 7 can run on less RAM and is considerably faster then VM Vista).

Run CHKDSK.

while logged into windows 7 i searched in the start menu for chkdsk and no program popped up. when i re-start, the chkdsk thing start during startup. it took a while, it said things like "deleting index" blah blah. when it finished, it restarted the computer and right back into the chkdsk. when i cancelled the chkdsk i logged into windows 7 and i still got all the errors.

so i've run chkdsk and its not fixing the problem. i never once had it while running vista. strange

I had it go to sleep but darn if its same issue i had with vista, won't wake on mouse or kb but will wake on hitting power switch....Anyone know how to fix that? Mine are usb connects so not sure if that's the issue. Otherwise i don't see the machine go back to sleep constantly. You may want to check your timing for sleeps.

Install:

took about 20 minutes to get to the first boot wizard. so: very nice indeed

Compatibility:

recognized almost everything OOTB, only things missing are: Fingerprint Reader; Enhanced Wacom; and Asus hotkeys. All of which are expected.

display driver didn't have automatic screen rotation, I don't mind since Windows Mobility Center's rotate button works.

software-wise, it's compatible with almost everything I install on it (a rare few times with compatibility options turned on), however SecureW2 isn't compatible yet so I'm stuck with no TTLS for the time being.

I actually had to reinstall soon after my first plan-to-use installation, because I messed some stuff up. I still haven't figured out what caused it, on the second install I didn't install CCleaner, used the current version of KIS instead of the beta, and didn't install the hotkey drivers (can't be bothered); any of these could be the cause, but a very strong guess is CCleaner.

overall: impressive, especially with the drivers.

Features:

it's alright, lacks some control panel stuff that XP and Vista had, I'm not sure if it'll be implemented in the future but I sent feedback on that anyways. I didn't see a calendar like in Vista (or did I just miss it?), Windows Live Essentials is good. A lot of small explorer improvements really add up too.

UAC prompts are so much more refined than Vista!!! I didn't even disable them for my mass program installation.

Oh and it does seem to be noticeably faster than Vista so far.

Installation:

For some bizarre reasons, my installation took about 3 hours. :s Still not sure what went wrong though, but probably something with the upgrade feature.

Compatibility:

Nothing wrong in my case. Everything, even Vista customization tools, works brilliantly.

Features:

Win 7 is definitely going on the right track with its features. Everything is cleaner, smoother and generally better eye-candy. Oh, and the system is fast, fast, fast.

However, upon the 3rd day of testing, I am noticing some areas of performance which could be improved. i.e the Windows Photo Viewer is rather slow for me, and the deletion tools sometimes doesn't pop up. Of course, I sent everything to MS.

Conclusion:

Windows 7 is, IMO, undoubtedly on the right tracks. If they don't remove any major features already in there, or make huge, unnecessary changes, and set the prices appropriately, this will definitely be an extremely successful OS. Even in BETA, 7 is already my favourite OS.

Does it wake up and go back to sleep constantly? Mine does.

Check device manager for your network cards and be sure to turn off Wake On LAN (nobody ever uses that except maybe in some very rare occasions).

Also have a look at that in the BIOS. Wake on LAN and Wake on USB are usually the things that need to be off for a good sleep thing. (Just wake it with the power button)

Install

Took about 3 hours when upgrading from Vista.

Compatibility

Sound didn't work straight away so I asked Dell and now it's all sorted and works great. Everything else works absolutely fine.

Features

Win7 is basically Vista with a few extras. But what it does well is make what Vista had a lot smoother. No more waiting for half an hour while the Control Panel was still loading and all that. It's got enough for me.

Conclusion

This has replaced Vista on my laptop and rightly so. I've never tested a Beta, but this is just like the finished product. I don't know why they're waiting. And with more updates, things can only get better.

Installation - A two hour side-by-side clean install from Vista Ultimate SP1 (64-bit); however, given that I was installing onto an old (ex-Dell) PATA HDD, that was unsurprising. The first stage was *considerably* slower than the second (again, target was an older PATA HDD).

Compatibility - Hardware compatibility was aces across the board (the two items that Windows 7 didn't support directly, my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer and nForce chipset System Management Bus controller, were both supported by the Vista drivers, which worked with zero issues). While Daemon Tools or UltraISO both failed as far as compatibility, PowerISO (which does work in Windows 7) makes a great alternative for virtual-drive software. Avast! Home Anti-Virus also works without issues.

All other software works without issue (including every application and game I've run so far). Absolutely unheard-of for a first beta (not even Vista passed that cleanly).

Test rig: ASUS P5N-EM HDMI, Intel Celeron DC E1200, 1 GB RAM, onboard nForce 630i/7100, onboard nForce Ethernet, Sound Blaster X-FiXtremeGamer, ATI HDTV Wonder (yes; Windows 7 supports it, even in 64-bit), Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit/Windows 7 build 70000 64-bit dual-boot

Disable the Wake Timers in the Advanced power settings under Sleep.

thanks that resolved my pc sleep problem (Y)

Conclusion

here's my take on win7, my install started slow, but think it was my systems issue, when i first boot from disk it would sit on the windows 7 screen for about 3 minutes or so, then it sounded like the hd kicked in and he install started, but from that point on it was a breeze, no errors or anything

start-up is amazingly fast, especially on an 8 year old pata 5700 rpm seagate, nice fast usable desktop

extremely stable and quick, none of the programs i've used have had any lag, and I actually think the audio sounds 10x better than with winxp

ive had this installed for about a day now, think its going to be my main OS at least until August. still cannot believe this is a beta.

edit.... I do like that it has native dvd playback, but there is ghosting when i play dvds in WMP/media center, dunno if thats win7 or my systems issue

7 - Installation is quick - painless.

5 - Have problems with some of my software, it either does not work at all or is not reliable. I thought that all the software that works with Win Vista is meant to work just same with Win 7. That's just not happening for me.

5 - There is no Mail client, IE 8 is a non-event for me. There is some more polish over what Vista offered but overall the main big change is the new taskbar and at best I think it's 'an effort' and a good try. But Win 7 isn't impressive for me. It's over hyped.

Pretty much all 7's from me so far. A 5 on features as it's a shame they removed some stuff from the install such as a mail client etc, but easy enough to add back in. 6 overall due to the features I miss. :p

Installed in 30 minutes on my laptop. A little slower than most people's 20 minutes, but I put that down to the 5400rpm HD in my laptop. Still way faster than Vista's install though! ;)

To be honest, I think MS have intentionally mislabeled this as beta 1; it feels far more like a RC than a beta to me. Sure it has a few bugs, but nowhere near the number you'd normally expect from a beta 1. At the very least, it's a beta 3! Well done MS, keep up the good work.

Speed(speed of everything in that matter, boot, shut down, programs, etc)

7 - Very fast, love it.

The looks

7 - Excellent

Overall

7 - Fantastic!

As a XP user who haste Vista, I must say Windows7 is amazing. I got a good rig, but Vista just feels a lot slower then XP. Not with Windows7. It's just as fact as XP, but with the added visual styles. It is a stable build and this OS just rocks. Cant wait to get the full version.

So far the only problems I've had with Windows 7 are Creative drivers(they didn't manage to make a decent Vista driver in all these years, so this was no surprise), and a handful of compatibility issues. Mostly with software that developers are refusing to adapt for "beta operating systems", like the SPTD driver most virtual drive software depends on, and just complex software that hasn't been updated just yet(like the Sunbelt and Comodo firewalls). Not really Microsoft's fault, though.

Everything I disliked in Vista, everything that made me avoid Vista completely for these years is now fixed or removed. A long-awaited, but still pleasant turn of events. Windows 7 is to Vista almost like Windows XP was to Millenium :)

The speed somewhat beats that of XP, and the visual design of the OS is eye candy while making intelligent use of available resources, instead of being a bloated resource ###### like Vista.

Those are just overall blurred impressions. There's a lot of technical stuff that made me switch to it as a main OS(while retaining dual-boot setups, of course), and so far I like most things Microsoft is doing with the new operating system.

They did not remove those things by choice.

    • An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.

      Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date. This week, Mojang announced that Chaos Cubed will be available on June 16, 2026. In addition, Mojang published a teaser of the next Minecraft movie. A Minecraft Movie Squared has now been confirmed for a release somewhere in 2027. NVIDIA GeForce Now is getting 18 new games in June.
