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.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
