This build is quite nice... even for it being in a VM Session. Right now listening to the default music in it... slight crackling, but overall.. NICE.

I'm betting this will be quite nice once they are finished with it. The new sounds are nice, and it's pretty smooth overall.

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. :)

Yes you can do that with an Appy called Vista Boot Pro. It is easy.

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)?

Sorry for the slow response, I had to run an errand. I'm a TechNet subscriber and Connect tester. No, we haven't seen any new bits since 7000 officially. Of course internal, TAP, ISV, invited private testers, etc, get new builds virtually every day.

I bet 7060 will be official RC.

Internal folks are already at a higher build than that. They are probably at 7062 today.

Since we're guessing on the RC build number, I say it will be 7077. However, I heard that the build on Mar.10th was locked down in escrow for RC, that would be 7060. So, you may be right. ;)

I was previously on Windows Vista Home Premium. And this is my first time using Windows 7.

So everything works well except I feel that something is blocking or hindering my torrent speed. Anyone else experience this? I usually get about 700 KB/s to 1Mb/s on my vista. But after switching to Windows 7. There seem to be a huge drop on speed..

Anyone else notice this?

Hello .. my problem is that the following ...

I installed this new build 7057

only I'm not able to give the note to my computer ...

This error appears when I try to give the note to the computer

How solve this problem?

To solve this:

- Open Start. Type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotes) and hit Enter.

- Expand "Disk drives," and double click on the hard drive Windows 7 is installed on.

- Click the Policies tab. Make sure "Enable write caching on the device" is checked, then click OK.

- Try the Windows Experience Index check again.

indows can not evaluate the note to my computer ...

ok go to "computer" right click on the hard drive, click on properties.

click on the hardware tab

then you should see your hard drive(s) in there, click on it and go properties

click on Change settings (bottom left)

click on the Policies and make sure that "Enable write caching on the device"

and that "turn off windows...." is NOT turned ticked

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

Because technet subscribers are already past this build by SEVERAL compiles... You guys are so funny, you see the EULA and winver say RC and you just automatically say that this is the rc version, it must be..

Ive been around for many betas and was apart of the windows 98 beta. Every time i see the same thing, except now there are 1000's more noobs.

    • Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
