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!!!

Anyone knw wat version they giving away at

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx

wud the same Serial key work on the 7022 version?

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 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

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? )

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.

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

I have seen that in all Win7 builds

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.

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.

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

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
