I think I mentioned it before but what I don't like about windows 7, this build has the same issue, is that in Vista, if I wanted notepad or power options I could search in the start menu, it would be the first option in the list, hit enter and I'm done. I search for "note" and power. In Win7 note=sticky note and power=powershell. Its a seriously minor issue, but one that really irritates me.

Also, has anyone managed to get steam to work with it? I havent.

I think it remembers your preference - so if you search for note and then manually click "Notepad" from the list a couple of times, itll display that one first from then on so you can just hit enter.

Thats just a theory though, I am pretty sure it existed even in Vista, but not sure if Ive ever really needed it - for the same reason you have that its always just been at the top of the list!

Someone proove me right/wrong?

You're right, that's why I'm just going to have to test it out in a virtual machine or see if i can manage to get it to install on my computer. :)

If not having 32bit is a problem, how is using a virtual machine going to help? You have to be using 64bit Windows to virtualize a 64bit OS.

You must give a try to Virtual Box then, from version 2.1 you can get a 64bits guess OS in a 32bits one

I will be patient, i would rather not take the time downloading over half of the ISO and it doesn't end up working. I'm sure the 32bit will be released by latest, Sunday. :)

what seems 2 hav changed in 7048 is when i click on the pinned libraries icon it wont open a new window again, just bring back in front the one which is already open. i liked the old behavior much better.

I could of sworn they removed or said they were going to remove the classic Windows theme. Why is it back again? :s

I don't recall this ever being stated, nor was it ever removed from any Windows 7 build. The fact is, Windows Classic is there for fallback reasons. Machines that can't run Aero can always run Windows Classic. (Think of it like an emergency GUI.) Also, while some do prefer the look overall, it's also still the de facto GUI for all Windows Server releases.

Yes it was removed in Pre-Beta's and Beta build 7000 but people would have requested it to come back, i like the classic start menu :D

Steam works fine for me, but I had to download the installer from the site.

I upgraded from 7000 and steam worked straight from the upgrade (like it should have)....not sure why anyone would be having problems with steam not working...

I found a torrent but low seeds.

I got mine in 4 hours from Demonoid......the original, non-ISO one that is....

I goggled "7048 x86 download", one the very first page there is a good target.

That site gave 4~5 links, all posted on 3-5, but what's curious are the sizes, all under 1G(????)

Any ideas ????

Those are fakes!!! Don't click on them.

Yes I get the same.

Change preview delay

HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Control Panel--> Mouse --> MouseHoverTime

change 400 to 50 or less, restart.

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
