Windows 7 Build 7032/Build 7048 64bit leaked?

[Inctye]

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.

Niceee. Any other tweaks to fix "by design" problems?.

7048 build of IE8 is good, best from all builds.

Best IE version yet. But still light years behind Firefox and Chrome.

Really? Wow... It crashes on so many web pages unless I load them in compat view (Engadget, ISS, all of Long's Taskforce sites, etc.)

Other pages have ridiculous rendering issues too.

For all the websites you mentioned, I am getting "Done, with errors" on the status bar the bottom after the page loads in a reasonably fast time, and this is without compat mode or any of the crashes you mentioned. Probably might be something else you have installed/running that might be interfering with it.

[Panda X]

Sounds great :D

But it just made Rafael Rivera jobless :)

I just sent him the files. It's false. Still requires digital signatures.

[dcoaster]

Would love a 32-bit version soon. :happy:

Don't blame me for having a 8 year old computer that can't run 64-bit or my other that has a VM that can't virtualize 64-bit!

[-KJ]

wow!

finally I can Apply custom Vista themes without a patch.

this feature is awesome

How? Are you talking about preset color/wallpaper combinations?

Or actual reskin/themes?

[pasty2k2]

I think he must mean the themes on offer from MS. Far as I have heard they still arent supporting "third party" themes, but there is bound to be a patch out for that soon, if not already.

[Gary2MBz]

Has anyone experienced the "HomeGroup Listener" crashing on them at random times and disabling Aero? I check the themes and it still shows the Aero theme checked and when I choose a different one it won't change. So far by turning off the current homegroup connection, it hasn't done it. This is on the machine in my sig using the drivers from HP's website.

No but just disable the service so it won't take down the svchost that DWM's in.

[pasty2k2]

Speaking of HomeGroup, I could never get it to work properly in the 7000 beta. Both a laptop and a desktop machine were insistant that there wasnt already a HomeGroup on my network, and offered that it create one for me. Seemed kind of useless so I just ignored it, nothing wrong with normal network share browsing and using Windows Media Connect or whatever.

Has it changed much since 7000? Could it possibly work for me now?

[Gary2MBz]

I turned it off and I'm on 7048 as we speak. It is working fine now. Another thing I noticed is the Bluetooth icon now has a little ? next to it. Also this build has 4 SKUs loaded into it. I used vLite to make a bootable DVD not touching anything and it showed me WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE, WINDOWS 7 HOMEPREMIUM, WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL, and WINDOWS 7 HOMEBASICN. Proves to me they already slipped them in but locked it in to the install.wim file unless you hack it. It installs Ultimate by default.

Or delete ei.cfg from the sources directory.

How come a 7048 still has Home Basic??:oo

Cuz there will be a Windows 7 Home Basic, but will only be available in developing markets.

That's Windows 7 'Starter', remember, these aren't final, but Microsoft have confirmed that Windows 7 Home Basic has been scrapped.

[pasty2k2]

Its probably just been overlooked. I suppose you could file this as a "bug", but theyll find it anyway when they comb through the final RC1 release.

Couldn't file a bug on a non-legit release. :blink:

No, there will also be a Home Basic. Microsoft never said Home Basic was scrapped. It might be for countries like the US, Canada, most of Europe, etc, but it's gonna be around regardless.

That last one for the Copy and Move addition is a huge thing. The "Send to..." has never quite lived up to what it could be, even with mods and adjustments. I just did this myself and it's absolutely welcome, for certain. Thanks for sharing the info...

For those waiting for the x86 release of 7048, pay attention. I asked DiamondNRG, the person responsible for leaking the x64 version when he plans to release the x86 version. This is his reply this morning (Fri. Mar.6th 2009 at 7:15 AM CST):

"I DO NOT HAVE IT YET AND WHEN I DO I WILL SHARE IT. That is all there is to it man, have a nice day."

Now, other folks claim to have the x86 flavor but as far as I know, no one has leaked it to date. So, learn to deal with it. Sorry.

I've asked him too, and he told me:

"Yeah, I don't have it *yet*."

That was a few days ago.
