Good evening!

there are many sources saying that build 7061 of windows 7 is now released and out "in the wild" but no one has tested it yet. Is it true ? this build is an RC- Escrow of the OS. WTH is an RC-Escrow ? :o

"An escrow build, according to Microsoft sources, means code development is ceased as developers and beta testers hunt for recall class bugs. The escrow code is considered the release to manufacturing code."

-- Taken from here: Article about Windows 2000 RC :)

I'm not saying that 7061 is an escrow build or the RC, just answering your question.

Bad?

Something must be wrong with your system..., the OS appears to be very stable and complete, except for some minor issues that are still being worked out.

I agree with you Build 7057 is by far the best build of Windows 7 I have used so far!!! :)

Build 7057 fixes almost all the bugs I have found in early builds!

Judging from the comments in the forums, it seem that more people have had problems with 57 than the earlier builds.

Putting opinion and hyperbole aside you've hit the nail squarely on the head. The evidence in the forum speaks for itself.

For everyone else the fact is that whether or not you've encountered issues with 7057 they exist in abundance. For those that find 7057 to be wonderful or the best build so far it simply means you haven't encountered the bugs yet or use your PC in ways that are less likely to reveal them.

Sorry, but I get annoyed when people (like xendrome) suggest that those encountering issues must have some problem with their installations. If a number of people are reporting the same bugs (as they are with this build) then the evidence would suggest otherwise.

7057 shows the general direction MS are taking and I think it's a good one but they still have to squash some serious bugs and not get carried away with trimming the cake before it's fully baked.

Sorry, but I get annoyed when people (like wiggly1uk2000) use branch builds then wonder whey they're buggy. It's not a release build, that's what happens!

Actually I accept the bugs with good grace (and I would even for an official public build), report them here for the benefit of others and then move on. Are we just supposed to say every build is wonderful when it's not? If there's a bug why on earth would anybody NOT mention it here in the Windows 7 beta forum??? :blink:

Personally I've no complaints about 7057 and I think the general direction of Windows 7 is very positive but I reserve the right to post about any bugs I find regardless of whether or not it's an official public build. Neowin have not as far as I know limited the Windows 7 forum to build 7000. Even people close to MS have posted here regarding other builds.

I'm not so excited considering how bad 7057 was.

Concur....7057 was faster, but seems to freeze alot.

I did a deep/full format first. And, my system is reasonably current; phenom II x4- 810, with 4 gigs of ram.

Plus, 7048 ran like a dream....zero issues that weren't merely me being unable to figure something out. Zero freezes...

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.

      Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
