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.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
