I've been running Windows 7 for well over a year and even from the Betas and RC it has been really solid. I even used it on one of my laptops I frequently tuned cars with. No issues what so ever. I really have to commend Microsoft as they really did a great job.

Windows 7 is a great OS, but I'm really kind of annoyed that my fonts folder just went corrupt all of a sudden. No reason, modification, anything. I had to reinstall over an issue that is apparently popular.

I would recommend upgrading if you can afford it... *cough-torrent-cough*whistle.gif

features and comparability are top notch. it finally does not need a special driver on disk to connect to internet with your motherboard controller!!! that was so annoying with xp.

install is a bit slow at first, but i guess, overall, it is faster then xp.

i love the windows 7

I just want to say that I am glad I thought of Windows 7 and MS finally decided to hear me out and follow through with my ideas.

I love Windows 7 and I am glad I thought of it. :laugh:

Seriously though, I love this OS. No crashes, speed is great, no issues to deal with works right out of the box as one would say.

I can't shiet on MS anymore.

I have x64 Ultimate..

Installation: 6 - I need Windows Update to find some drivers for my notebook

Compatibility: 5 - My Benq phone and some other hardware drivers just aren't there

Features: 5 - It has almost everything but somethings just aren't very good.. like the Disk Management is not as good as GParted IMO..

Speed: 6 - Way better than XP and Vista but not as good as Linux and Windows 2000

Looks: 6 - Almost perfect!

Overall: 6 - The best Windows yet!

And I'll add one more..

Stability: 6 - Excellent!

WINDOWS 7, HOME PREMIUM (Upgraded from Vista), 64 BIT

How was installation?

- 6, I chose this because, while it was fast, there were times (several minutes) where the progress bar just sat there. I know it was doing things in the background, but not having any indication of that made me worry it had stalled.

How is compatibility?

- 6, I chose this because Dragon Age has an issue with crashing in Windows 7 (64 bit), but that is the only program issue I have had. Even Photoshop 7.0 works!

The features

- 7, I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, so I'm happy with the features.

Speed

- 7, yay!

The looks

- 7, yay! Minor improvements over Vista like removing the teal glass on window borders, and toning down the other teal to be more blue (less green) is nicer on the eyes. I sometimes miss the appearance of the Vista task bar though. Icons are lovely, and the tray icons are fantastic. The evolution of the UI from XP, Vista, and now 7 has seen several improvements over each release, all for the better.

Overall

- 7, Fantastic!

64 bit install dvd didn't support my hard drive out of the box, so I had to go into my BIOS and change it from AHCI to "Compatability" before it would actually boot the installation disc. I kept getting a BSOD. Once I got it going though it's pretty nice, just gotta get my Toshiba specific stuff installed since this machine came with Vista. Also I paid $310 USD for Windows 7 Ultimate and apparently I can't use it on my computer and my wife's at the same time, when I tried to activate hers it said that I couldn't use my license key any more...

Beginning with Vista, Windows 7 supports AHCI. Not sure what happened.

Just installed a list of Windows updates as well as Office 2007, now it refuses to boot except in Safe Mode...I just get a BSOD and then the machine powers off. It doesn't restart, just powers off altogether. This is a legit copy of 7 that I just got from Best Buy.

It seems great to me so far 7 or near it for all options other than the new taskbar. It needs work. ;)

(No, I'm not arguing about the taskbar here, there's already threads about it. :D))

They need to scarp the whole Windows 7 thing and revive Vista...

I can't say I am blown away by windows seven some changes and the lack of customization in some areas just seems brainless.

I don't understand why Libraries are forced on the user. Why can't I have the start menu links such as "my music" actually go to the "my music" folder? And why can't I create a link pinned to the taskbar that goes straight into my user folder rather than Libraries. For users like me who have no use for libraries what so ever, I should be able to turn them off. I mean did it never cross their minds that maybe someone might not want to use libraries.

It's little things like this that make me want to go back to Vista.

Like when I search, if I want to go a particular files location the option is second from the bottom of the context menu, it should be at the top.

WinXP use to be my favorite. Liked it better than Vista. Now, I have Windows 7 32bit and 64bit (TV tuner doesn't have 64bit drivers, but works on 32bit Win7). I still have XP Pro installed on this newer system, but mainly use Win 7 now. I really like the way it works, as it does what I need, without the problems Vista seemed to throw in at times. Overall, I am very pleased with it, but still playing with various Linux installs on a 4th hard drive just for kicks.

For users like me who have no use for libraries what so ever, I should be able to turn them off. I mean did it never cross their minds that maybe someone might not want to use libraries.

Those are the two things that I disliked about Windows 7. Other than that, XP and Vista are dead and buried as far as I'm concerned.. couldn't pay me to go back to either. Fortunately, there's some easy ways to get around these two issues.

First, the music, pictures, documents and videos on the start menu; you can edit the registry to have them point to your personal directory instead of the library. Obviously, be damned careful editing the registry. You should probably export the following subkeys so you have an easy way to revert the changes in case you want to for whatever reason.

In the registry, navigate to the following location; all the changes are done in subkeys from here.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\

Now, find the menu subkey that you wish to change:

Documents - {7b0db17d-9cd2-4a93-9733-46cc89022e7c}

Music - {2112AB0A-C86A-4ffe-A368-0DE96E47012E}

Pictures - {A990AE9F-A03B-4e80-94BC-9912D7504104}

Videos - {491E922F-5643-4af4-A7EB-4E7A138D8174}

Inside each of these keys is an entry called "ParsingName". Change this entry exactly as shown! You want two colons at the beginning, and a closing brace at the end. No spaces anywhere. Copy carefully.

Documents - ::{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\\{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}

Music - ::{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\\{4BD8D571-6D19-48D3-BE97-422220080E43}

Pictures - ::{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\\{33E28130-4E1E-4676-835A-98395C3BC3BB}

Videos - ::{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\\{18989B1D-99B5-455B-841C-AB7C74E4DDFC}

Once you've changed the ones you want,log off and back in, and you'll see the changes. (You can probably just kill and restart explorer too.) Thats it, your start menu is now pointing to your personal directories and not the libraries.

You can pin other locations to your taskbar too. Make a shortcut on your desktop, the location being Explorer "C:\Program Files\Whatever\" or whatever path you want; note the quotes as you need that to surround the spaces in the path name. Give it whatever icon you want, and pin it anywhere. Only drawback with this one is that it won't stack the icons nicely with other opened Explorer windows.. haven't worked that one out yet, but I don't usually keep Explorer pinned anyway, I use desktop icons for that, just what I'm used to.

You don't need to do anything special to get specific folders pinned to the taskbar. I have explorer pinned to it and using the jump list I have all my common file locations on it. Just right click on the folder and drag it onto the task bar.

EDIT:// Crap, I didn't see that you found the right-click feature... and now I can't figure out how to delete this post.

I don't know if you were talking about the same thing. I didn't want to to right click to have to avoid the libraries, instead I changed the default location of the explorer pinned to my taskbar, so I just click and launch straight into my user folder.

Working well for me.It's pretty fast, has a sleek and pretty UI...and well in a word, great!

But as with any great software, there comes one or two issues.After all there's no such thing as perfect software.

The more annoying and prominent one being the blasted Windows Update that often wants me to restart the computer to install updates.Well, that's an ancient problem and it's a shame that they haven't sorted it out throughly.

The less obvious and trivial bug is that of Windows Media Player.Switch to the Now Playing mode and click anywhere within the player window besides the playlist.Yeah, the window loses focus as though you clicked outside the player window.

Also the fact that I haven't figured how to make Live Hotmail(or any other web mail service for that matter) my default e-mail app is really bugging me.Clicking any mailto link in and out of the web browser rises an error message saying that no default mail client is installed.Do I have to install an actual mai client to get around this problem?

I remember in Windows XP there was an option in Internet Options and Start Menu that let me set Hotmail as the default email handler.I think it was the same with Vista too.

Another problem being with the WMP library database.Every now and then a wizard pop up that's meant to fix the media player's currupted database.I went thru it pretty much every time it opened up, to no avail and also to the loss of many of my music files tags.

The last time I did it was yesterday and up until this moment it's going well.

All in all, thumbs up from me. :)

    • 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. Those include Jurassic World Evolution 3, Fatekeeper, GOALS, Gothic 1 Remake, NTE: Neverness to Everness, and more. If you are a Game Pass subscriber, you can also get new games soon: Persona 5 Royal, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and more are coming to the service this month.
