Windows 7 build 7022 leaks

[Loso]

so is this new build real? is it out on torrent trackers?

[Roger H. Veteran]

yup, as real as real gets. Using it already and loving it more and more.

Oh and one thing i noticed, (someone mentioned it on the main page) is that it doesn't ask you about homegroups anymore - well that's because it creates one automatically!!!

(Copying from my news comment...)

Well theres a big "FU" to those that said it wouldn't leak....

[Cyplex]

It would be build 7000.

The same serial key works on build 7022. I noticed it actually was noticeably quicker to activate on 7022 imo.

Just installed it.

Lots of visual tweaks here and there, you can see that there's a lot of polishing going on. For the relatively short time I've been using IE I can already feel it's much faster, though I can't comment on stability yet.

Also the new slide animation of the task pane is pretty cool. For those of you who are curious, it's the exact same animation when you expand the contracted task pane in the Beta1 Control Panel, but it animates when you open some Explorer windows.

Windows Media Player was also tweaked a little bit, looks slightly different.

Performance-wise, didn't really notice a difference, but Beta 1 was so fast already to be honest it's gonna be hard to perceive a difference, especially if it's minor.

All in all, it's a great, solid build. It feels more like a RC build than a Beta build. I've never been this excited for an OS! :woot:

I'm not sure if it's new or not, but if you hover over "All Programs" for about 3 seconds, it will automatically send you there, same thing works when you want to go "Back".

This is present in Vista.

LOL. Darn 40 kbps is depressing for me to get my hands on it anytime soon... :cry:

[tablet_user]

Hopefully theres a new AC97 audio codec cause the one that i got from WU wouldnt work and the one from thier site made the audio very distorted.

[xJakex]

This is present in Vista.

Yeah you're right, I'm just soo much used to either clicking on All Programs or searching for it.

[aristofeles]

Just installed it, first thing I saw was a strange bug on my icons that I can't find a way to fix....

Did Aero get the new side bar colour as well? ( I really like the clean single colour side bar )

Control Panel still the same? ( Any hope of a properly organised Control Panel? )

[Lord Ba'al]

I'm not going to bother with this - build 7000 works well enough until MS release the RC.

Same here, there's too little new stuff to warrant a new install. Besides that, 32 bit = fail :x

And here's the light blue action bar or what ever it's called.

Light grey, you mean. It looks really ugly now :x

anyone else scan with Windows Defender and get "Preliminary scan results...." warning showing that there might be some spyware there.

They have updated Control Panel a little bit. Removed the "All Categories" icon and added a "view" drop down (with 3 options; Category, Large Icons and Small Icons) on top right corner.

I have seen that in all Win7 builds

Just Curious to know can any extract IE 8 RC 1 from Windows 7 build 7022, which we can install on Windows 7 Build 7000. :cool:

Doubt something like that is possible.

You can download it from here from Microsoft. It's free.

[chrisj1968]

I'm getting the idea that Windows 7 will run great on my laptop based on what you all are saying about it.

seems like a crack addicts dream

[iwod]

IE 8 is not available for Seven separately.

Has anyone gotten this file bug before when you copy/move/delete? It has an empty white space and I'm using x64 7000. See below

Any news if this is fixed or is it just on mine? I also downloaded this one from Microsoft, not the early leak.

[The Patri0t]

Installed this build, noticed some visual bugs with the icons.

Devices and Printers Icon under Start Menu

Icons under Windows Update

Paint looks changed. I did not check it out much in build 7000. I did not know they had a crop option and bunch of others when you select and right click. That's nice.

---

As I was uploading image to Image Shack, Internet Explorer crashed.

[The Patri0t]

Another visual bug - while trying to do an assessment.

---

and I did the following when I got the error you see in the Screenshot:

1. Clicked Browse under Neowin in New Topic.

2. Browsed to Pictures, right clicked a Picture, I wanted to preview it before upload but I got the following error:

---

It uploads fine, just won't let me preview from within IE. I have not checked any thing else. Perhaps security setting? Dunno. Oh I just tried to click Edit while right clicking in the same place as I mentioned above and it told me that a website is trying to open Paint and if Windows should allow it or not.

I think this is security thing but then I don't see how a website will be previewing the picture. :s

You need to adjust your monitor colors...
