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!

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! ;) )

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. :/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: ).

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.

UTC has essentially superceded GMT as the official term.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

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.

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

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
