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

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
