If this is real, thats bloody fast movement on the W7 front. I hope it is. If anyone has it downloaded, please post proof that its legit, otherwise it looks to be a long night of slow downloading, only to probably find out its fake all along lol.

Not sure about the 19th, I swear someone here got in touch with a chap working for MS who said that a previously reported 7048 (I think) release couldnt exist, as they were only compiling 7047 right there and then. That was less than a week ago.

I may have my facts mixed up though, anyone care to elaborate?

you are 100% on this, after ms employee i think it was Brian said 7048 didn't exist and 7047 was being compiled that was all a lie, MS will deny everything.

Now look what build we have installed lol :D

Also i just made an ISO of Build 7000 x64, it cannot be this build as this is 3.19GB

7048 got compiled on 19th Jan i think, so it's possible they are upto 7054. Even further internally TAP program.

I don't think 7048 was the 19th of Jan -- but rather 19th of Feb. 090219-1845.

Build 7048 was released to TAP on Sunday. How can they release build 7054 just 4 days after? Me thinks 7054 is fake. Don't waste your time.

Here are some screenshots of setup.exe from build 7048 :

RC was going to TAP people end of feb not 7048 as 7048 is Pre-RC

I don't think 7048 was the 19th of Jan -- but rather 19th of Feb. 090219-1845.

Lol early in morning, month error, yes i meant Feb.

Maybe so, but its possible that IE8 RTM isnt done for W7 yet - they could have shifted focus on completing it for Vista and XP. Seeing as they have a couple of months before 7 is released and sold, they may as well do it that way around - its transparent to us consumers, and means we all get IE8 RTM quicker in comparison.

I still get very frequent taskbar flickering/disappearing with 7048 (no change from build 7000). Any idea what's causing this? Is it my display drivers, or a problem with Windows 7? You'd think if it were the latter they would have addressed that bug by now...?

Other than that, I haven't noticed any performance differences with this build. There are a few slight cosmetic changes (new icons, wallpapers, etc.) but nothing much else seems to have changed, which I suppose is good (aside from the flickering bug!) I'm now even more eager to try out the RC...hoping things will be 100% smoothed out by then. I get the feeling this build is not particularly polished (hence why it was never meant to be released for public testing). Anybody else feel the same?

I have a problem that has been a bug in all builds I have tested.

Whenever I open or close a window or program, the animation is kinda quirky and laggy.

It feels like it hangs, just for some milliseconds, before it closes or opens. In builds prior to 7048 this also happened whenever I max\minimized the windows\programs.

I know it's not my rig, I have a quad core q9400, geforce gtx260 with 4gb ram, and Vista runs fluidly.

Anyone else having the same problems?

I feel like I'm the only one since I have never heard anyone else with that annoying bug.

I have the exact same problem. I thought it was a "by-design" thing and learned to live with it. :( (8800GTS/E6750 here)

I believe it is "by design". You can change it to be faster though in regedit.

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

change 400 to 50 or less, restart.

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
