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.

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
    • An Indian manufacturer that assembles roughly one-third of Apple's iPhones and supplies semiconductor components to Tesla confirmed Monday that attackers had stolen and publicly published a 630-gigabyte cache of confidential files — including engineering blueprints stamped "TRADE SECRET," a 52-page quality inspection document for iPhone circuit board components, and cryptographic certificates that security experts say could be weaponized in follow-on attacks. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319019/20260624/apple-tesla-supplier-tata-electronics-confirms-630-gb-data-theft-iphone-specs-dark-web.htm
    • I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.
    • I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
