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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
