jesus man, think about it. quit praying for an early release, it will be 2010 and this confirms it in my mind.

I rather wait 3-6 months longer, if it will mean a fast, stable OS. I do not want them to rush it.

so how can we confirm this is RC build? i don't remember vista doing that.

:rolleyes:

Just because vista did something, doesn't mean 7 will need to do the same..

Microsoft is literally obsessed with BLUE in Windows 7.

they always have. Think back to 3.1 - XP, blue title bars. In XP, a blue taskbar and start menu. I think Microsoft is more obessed with the light washed out fell in 7.

Woah, the mininova one increased a lot!!! <2 hrs for me!

im sure x64 will be leaked by this weekend. give it a few days and the torrents will be up all over the place.

Yeah i wouldn't be surprised, I'm sure it will be within a week, it took about 5 days for the x86 7048 to come out after the x64.

Any noticable changed from 7048 ?

I kinda doubt that as it's that close (besides the log-in/off screens), but who knows...

As long as there's no 64-bit version of it, I'll definitely skip it, anyway :no:

Has it even been confirmed that this is even a legit build? I seriously have my doubts about the build and the expiration date being a sign of a release next year. Why waste the time pushing a public beta and release candidate branches now for it to RTM next year? Makes absolutely no sense.

That's how I see it as well.

If this is real, that green should be yellow/orange which is the accent colour used for Windows 7 ribbon and new Windows 7 Icons

Yes - while the green doesn't look bad, it looks somewhat out of place. It should be orange to be in line with their actual colour theme.

Oh well, at least I will gracefully sit out until another x64 leak comes out.

Same here.

Мои дорогие русские друзья! Вы пожалуйста послали бы версию 64 битов? Большое спасибо!

(Hope that's correct...)

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
