Windows 7 build 7022 leaks

[ToneKnee]

Sorry, posting from my iphone. One thing i have noticed after the install is that Windows 7 doesnt use gmt time zones anymore and that it has swiched to UTC.

Question, did they fix that bug with Windows Live Messager being in the Superbar?

That's not really a bug. More a software problem with WLM. You can fix this by running WLM with compatibility mode set to Vista.

Seriously in this case, it's not a bug - it's a feature!

[»X«]

Its a **** feature. Everything else has its own notification icon yet this programme wants its own taskbar space?

Also, compatibility mode doesn't work in 7022 for me, as I said. It just crashes. So its run it like this, or don't run it at all.

(Gotta love the screen name! ;) )

dhan: You could call it that, but it isn't very useful as it is now. I guess there will be an update to WLM which "fixes" this.

Found another update.

Remote Desktop have now been updated to have a blue bar on top in fullscreen mode.

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.

A bit nitpicky, but they still haven't fixed the Scenic menu shadows yet. :/

Can someone please upload the following file XboxMCX-V.XEX from \Windows\ehome\MCX\X02

I just want to check this file with the 7000 build beta

Thanks

Notification Area was/is not supposed to be used for showing running apps. That's the whole point of its new functionality in W7. As far as the ****tyness of it is concerned...read my response to x-byte below.

I remember reading that they specifically added W7 support in WLM to behave like that (with jump lists etc). :/ With enough people complaining they might go back or put it as an option. I don't mind either way. In fact on W7 I wish skype and GTalk behaved like this..

I have blue bar in Remote desktop in 7000.

I'm not complaining, it's just an observation. It might work as intended but the thumbnail feature is useless as it is. There should be a better solution for this.

[fix-this!]

will there be a x64 edition leaked ? if not ill wait until RC happens.

I remember in 7000, when I drag a window under the taskbar, the part of the glass border on the window, under the taskbar, has this tearing when I move the window around.

Is this still there?

7000 says UTC too

Yeap still there!! :(

It seems the problem of being unable to close a programme remains. I just installed iTunes and it worked for a while. But I forgot to turn off "genius". The programme froze. But no matter how many times I end the process or task iTunes still remains running. I thought if I clicked end process it would, end of.

Sorry, it was a first for me. When I went to select my time zone, I automatically knew that there was something different. :p

Hmmm....they fixed the "jumping orb" but now they have a "cutted orb". :laugh: You can see if you press the orb in the down side the orb is sliced. (iguess they are using the taskbar on the top of the desktop :laugh: ).

UTC has essentially superceded GMT as the official term. They're still the same thing.

The start orb was fine on Vista but on Windows 7 superbar,its FUGLY as hell and doesn't go with new look

Keep in mind that we don't know which final user interface refinements Windows 7 will receive between now and RC/RTM.

well it all gets kinda complicated there. TECHNICALLY they aren't the same thing in the sense that they're different methods of time keeping. however, in the sense of timezones they are the same. you can use them completely interchangeably even though GMT is just a local name for UTC.

Yea...that's right!

I see they forgot to remove the "move" option for the gadgets (in this beta ver.) it seems is not working so...theymust remove it as wecan move the gadgets free.

Well I was just trying to give the simple answer, but nooo ... you had to go and reveal it's more complex than that :p

no such folder on my PC.

[nautiqueskier]

Can anyone with 7022 let me know if the Media Center guide is working for them. I'm having some trouble with mine.

Thanks
