omnicoder, you still don't get it. Microsoft develops windows with teams, each team is assigned a task to complete. Fixing bugs and preparing for an RC is top priority, updating the eula every single bug fix to indicate that "THIS IS PRE RC1 build 1 " " " " build 2 ETC they dont care about that. The eula is updated for rc1 when they are compiling the pre-rc1 builds, it doesn't change from however many builds it takes from this stage to reach final rc1.

No it wouldn't have.. Those are internal builds, they dont have to say anything, they are not for PUBLIC.

I think its funny when people show up and talk about beta builds like they have been around for ever and know what is going on.

I've watched the internet change from only a select few getting the beta copys and having at most 20 post threads about it to now everyone gaining access because of bittorent, now all of a sudden you guys are experts?

I don't claim to be an expert but when you go around shouting "ITS RC1 BECAUSE THE EULA SAYS SO!" you are being ignorant.

It's like you guys are clueless, "Then it would have said 'Pre release' . " For all we know this build is 8 compiles old and was only relevant to test for 2 specific bugs towards rc1 and then they moved on.. The point is, you dont know.

I remember people shouting RC for this build too, but that wasn't the case.

5536 version of : 6.0.5536.16385 (vista_rc1.060821-1900)

Why would they care about making the EULA match a "pre release"? They are more concerned in preparing it for RC, so they update it for RC even before it is signed off. They don't compile these builds for the intention of the public getting their hands on it. I still think this build is at least few builds behind what we will see in a couple weeks.

Question for you guys, how do you know this? You scream at us that we are worng, well, how do you know your right? you could be worng to.. none of us knows for sure

I don't said you're wrong. I just asked why were you so sure.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I really need to know:

Is build 7000 upgradable to this latest one (or any other newer build) with no issues?, Or do I have to install it from scratch??

Thanks

Like I said on this very page above, it works fine no problems at all for my netbook..

All the builds that have leaked are BETA builds. Various problems will be encountered as often the case. You will not be assured a perfect upgrade with no issues even with RTM release.

That said, I would recommend a clean install every time with beta bits. Make sure you backup the data you want to keep!!

no major problems upgrading from 7000 to 7056... except the pinned start menu icons need to be deleted and re-pinned else you get (2) next to them. takes too long for me to install all my programs and set it up the way i like it. i guess i will keep upgrading until i do have any major problems, then do a fresh install then. just make sure you have about 9GB of free space else it won't work.

On the agreement I had to check it said RC. I saw nothing that said Pre RC. It also expires on 03/01/2010.

That's just it though, the Microsoft team isn't going to waste their time changing the EULA and the about information to say pre-RC for the few recompiles before releasing the RC. Once they hit the RC branch, they'll change everything to say RC and then they'll recompile as many times as needed to release as stable a build as possible. These builds are not intended to reach the public, so they don't feel the need to clarify that this is "pre-RC" and not the ACTUAL RC, because I'm guessing they know which build is the real RC and which are just leading up to it. :)

Although I respect your opinion Gary7, I would tend to agree with Micro. It really doesn't matter what the Eula says, it's a beta! RC is close so be thankful for what we have.

It's not even a beta and this is what a lot of people do not understand.

There has only ever been one beta of Windows 7 and that is build 7000.

All of the other builds, after 7000, have been internal development builds which have been leaked. Microsoft have not and will not release another beta. The next public release will be the release candidate as you all know and it is highly unlikely it will be build 7057, especially judging by that 'Notepad' bug. Yes, they could just fix that bug and use this build, but I am still more than sure it will go through some more tweaking before the release candidate build is compiled and signed off.

Microsoft do change things such as EULAs during the development of Windows and they will change the EULA from "beta" to "release candidate" even in builds which are not going to be the public release candidate builds. They are currently developing the pre-release candidate builds internally, so it makes sense to update the EULA to how it would appear in the public release candidate build.

....

You're right, there has only been one "public" beta and that was 7000. Everything after it has been a "private" beta. Until it's released for RTM it's beta code however you want to call it.

Anyway, I am excited with this 7057 build. It is working great so far on my Dell Mini 910 netbook. A lot of bugs have been addressed. :)

Ahh, I think you might be right there - I jumped the gun a bit :D

Do they host private betas with Connect participants, rather than just testing these development builds internally (like I thought)?

Hi there, I'm new and am just wondering if there would be any difficulties in installing 7 Beta on a new partition, and dual-booting with an existing XP build? And then, once the Beta expires, being able to remove 7 and the partition without doing any damage to XP. Thanks in advance. :)

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
