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.

Well that's utter tosh, as I'm a Technet Plus subscriber, and the only available build is 7000 ATM. :)

So i assume no one has problem with the torrent speeds on Windows 7 as compared to Windows Vista?

No issues here. If you aren't uploading a decent amount you'll get crap download speeds.

More I did so and also did not appear the option .... look at the image

Odd. Usually it is on by default anyway...

I did a custom (clean) install on one my computers using 7057 x86 yesterday. That went very well.

However, doing the upgrade on a different computer (laptop) using 7057 x86 boot DVD, I can't do an upgrade from 7048 x86. It tells me I need Vista with SP1 to upgrade. The same thing happens if I start setup.exe from the hard drive. Apparently they are now doing a version check during installation. Just some FYI.

That's weird, I upgraded from 7048x86 to 7057x86 just fine.

Another question, is it good that I allow Windows 7 to install my motherboard's driver for me? Or should i download myself and install?

Apparently most of my drivers, Windows 7 downloaded it off the internet and installed it for me...

For me all the autoinstalls were fine, except for my graphics card

It is weird. I went ahead and did a clean install instead. I prefer that anyway. Everything worked and it runs like a champ. It found all the drivers automatically, downloaded Ricoh driver updates right after install. Man, this is so sweet!

So i guess there is no need to actually go to my motherboard's official site and download the drivers eh?

Where did Windows 7 go and get the drivers from anyway?

From their own database or ?

Mainly Windows Update, however Windows 7 does have a very extensive driver database.

... weird, the UI feels a bit incomplete.. maybe the taskbar should get a drop shadow? Kind of like in the picture...

I'd rather not have any shadows for the taskbar. The taskbar in this state looks great as is.

Besides, they removed the shadow from the Start Menu for Windows 7.

Try installing your motherboard's chipset drivers, then see if the Policies tab appears.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
