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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
