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

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

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
