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

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...

Good to know DJI also notes on the Amazon sales page that due to platform compatibility issues, the DJI Fly app has been removed from Google Play. Visit the official DJI website to download the user manual and the latest DJI Fly app for a better experience. Which means you will have to sideload it on your Android. Where to buy DJI Neo 2 Fly More Combo for $349 at Amazon US The above price has been communicated to me as a Prime Day exclusive. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
