Good to hear changes but sad to know most of them are just cosmetic (new icons,wallpapers). May be this is Vista done right and everyone needs to wait for next version of windows to see something revolutionary other than all the evolutionary changes happening in Windows 7.

Its good to know Vista had to exist for such a fine release of Windows 7. Not saying that Vista sucked but Windows 7 is 100% what Vista should have been.

Finally, i wanted to know if Windows 7 will support USB 3.0 by time of RTM in case USB v3 documentation is completed or will support come to existence in form of service pack.

So for those who have downloaded it, would you say 7048 is overall faster/stabler/better than the beta (7000)? From some of the comments so far it doesn't really sound like it. :unsure:

I'm using 7000 as my main OS right now and haven't really noticed any bugs at all, except the occasional taskbar flickering. So I'm not sure that I'll upgrade just yet, esp. if it sounds like 7048 is actually using more memory or loading a little slower (seems like a backwards step?? Hmm)

hmm performance wise.. i don't think there's any difference or if there is could be insignificant.. i dunno i dun do benchmark but i guess it's definitely better than build 7000.

if you don't feel like downloading.. wait till RC.. build 7000 works just fine!

The "betta fish" wallpaper is still there.. that's just my personal wallpaper i've changed.. and yeah the key works =D

Seems the betta fish is bye-bye for good, and the key works too!! :blink:

Huh? dont understand what you mean lol :p

Just a thought, If I use a running win7 to make a [recovery disk], I get one with only 140M used with no more available space. Can I make a workaround with this one to make a bootable installation DVD?? I am unable to make tests now, any ideas guys??

for me this is first version i can call stable windows7 OS. No more random explorer craches, till now only bug i still noticed was low WEI disk index with write-back cache enabled. Rest is working perfect and it also seems more responsive.

When you select the edition you want to download it will tell you downloads are no longer available, but will still give you a key.

Hmm, I also just discovered with the new "aero peek" during alt+tab it permanently hides my Trillian Astra contact list and the only way I could get it back was by alt+tabbing to the desktop, then clicking the show/hide desktop button in the corner twice. Wonderful. Other than that little annoyance this build seems to rock so far.

When Upgrading 7000 to 7048, has anyone noticed problems with any applications installed which don't work.

Currently downloading 7048 at 95.7% 73Kb/s average

I recently installed MacOSX 10.5.6 on my PC, so I am in the mood for install procedures lol :D :wacko:

If you are running Windows Live Mail you may want to uninstall it and then reinstall it or you may get a "database was corrupted" error every time you start it. Was forced to uninstall Avira Antivirus prior to installation, but works just fine after reinstalling post-upgrade. First time running Windows Live Messenger it had to "configure," but seems to run fine after. Other than that I haven't had any problems running previously installed apps (so far). Beware, file and settings migration during setup may take a while (took me like an hour, yawn).

Tks ur reply. I made the recovery disk from 7000, it's bootable, and has only a few files total 140M, (it's got \sources\boot.wim). But you can't write to the DVD anymore.

I was thinking if it's possible to do something to change it to a bootable 7048 bootable installation disk.

About installing from a usb mem stick: I have been in bios and changed the first boot option to usb mem stick...I then boot up and the installation prosedyre starts. But what to do when it restarts during installation? I mean, I dont get the question "press any key to boot from whatever media", so when the comp restarts, it just start all over again. And I cant just take it out since it is needed more. What do I do wrong?

Don't set to boot USB in bios just use F8 bios option to load boot list. Not windows F8 before that, when you normally press Del.

On 7048 x64 new share icons never seen before. Padlocks instead peoples? hmmm...

PS: firewall off.

Those mean you need admin rights to copy, move, cut, etc to or from those drivers.

Forget the watermark. RC will be out in a few weeks.

Nvidia has some new drivers out for Windows 7, both x86 and x64. Check their website.

    • This piece of ###### is probably one of the most hated apps that ever existed.
    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
