this has to be the fastest fresh install i have ever had ! !!

12 min from start to desktop WOW !

i did notice that the send feedback button is GONE !

I thought you meant thats how long it took you to BOOT.

12 mins, good for you ;)

Good to hear its nice and quick.

SuperZod, I noticed that even in pre-7000 builds - if I added in my main music location into the library, it would take ages to add all of the files. Its as if the "force rescan" mode you could invoke in Vista/XP where you select your folders and it adds them all there and then with a progress bar is gone. We can only add files by adding "monitored locations", and have the indexing function slowly pick up on everything. From start to finish on 7022, it took 2 hours to begin and finish indexing my one location of about 16000 files (mix of MP3 and WMA lossless files).

Sad to hear this is gone, but its not hard to put up with manually playing files instead of using the library temporarily after a clean install.

Meh what is this, 1999? Why bother leaking the legacy build, need the real version.

I dont understand what you are talking about. Using the words "Legacy build" when talking about the as-yet unreleased, brand new, Windows 7, doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

I think he means 32bit is legacy and 64bit is what should be leaked.

found something new

in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings you can now change encryption settings for file sharing.

That is sweet, but would only be useful if XP and Vista would update to support such a thing. I'd have to share between 7 and 7.

Hm, the only thing I can think of is that one of your RAM sticks is bust, 0x1A is common for that.

Its quite possible, but if you run VMs a lot it would have shown up beforehand I expect.

Memtest86?

I have never got a 'Memory_Management' blue screen before, in VM or running for real.

I'll run memtest86 if the install fails again. Don't really want to know if my RAM is bust at the moment though, I'm so broke! :(

So you are saying that virtually 95% of all Netbook computers are "legacy". The fastest growing segment of the computing industry, is legacy. Yeh mate sure.

Regardless of whether you think x86 is already a legacy architecture or not, Windows 7 is being designed to run with lower requirements, so having an x86 build out there to test with is just as important as having an x64 build which would definitely run on all x64 computers (assuming nobody has an x64 PC with something like 256MB RAM).

Might have a warranty left on them ;)

I dont think it would be if youve used a lot of VMs and havent had this happen before.

Ive had 1 BSOD for W7 so far, and that was installing 7022 x86 on a Mac Mini. When it came to installing the boot camp drivers, I was daft and tried to do other things at the same time - normal stuff like browse the net download antivirus etc, but I really should have left it to it. It BSOD'd really quick so didnt see the message, rebooted, and I "repaired" using the MSI installer. Worked/still works fine.

It may just be bad luck, try again. Possibly a duff CD, but Im guessing if your in a VM you are using an ISO, no?

Yeah I am using an ISO. I just tried again and it installed fine. I think I will run memtest on my computer anyway soon as I have been having some other weird problems with it that could be RAM related.

Ah well, now i can play with this build! :)

Boo.

Now what... to install or not to install, that is the question.

I am using it since last 12 or so hours. It is as stable as 7000 for me if not better. In fact my 7000 BSODed just as it finished burning 7057 DVD. :p (First and only BSOD after it was installed in January).

The LogonUI graphic looks like it's straight out of DeviantArt. It looks quite nice, just not very Microsofty. No doubt it'll look beautiful on Best Buy's shelves, gleaming on rows of glossy laptops, but it just doesn't seem to match the toned-down simplicity the rest of the UI seems (seemed?) to be reaching for. :-/

It's way different from current, yeah, so it's unfitting. For the old style. If they are trying to create a new style, I don't see what would be the problem. I like this new one way better than that abstract one.

Currently listening to Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott and he's saying that 7057 has been crashing like crazy for him. :huh:

Sorry...sorry...he was talking about 7048 which has been crashing non stop, documents are disappearing, wordpad closing for no reason, etc.

He says 7057 has been very stable.

I dont, he's a knob, but he does probably have a lot of gear to test with, and I dont know why he would cry wolf.

Unless of course its just him, which is why I was doubtful up there.

Given that nobody on here has reported anything show-stopping, Im probably gonna install when I get home. Its downloaded there, just need to complete this damn 12 hour shift.

**EDIT**

Ah thats cool, yeah I didnt bother with 7048 and kinda glad now.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
