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!

These problems people may report on 7057 might be machine-specific. I have 3 pcs and an old HP laptop w/528mb ram. 7057 bugs out on half of my machines with chronic loss of internet on one and explorer.exe restarts plagueing the other. But on an older HP p.c. and the 528 laptop, it runs fine. 7000 runs just fine on all of these machines after it's updates.

ROFLMAO WUT !

bad please fix your system lol 7057 is gold imho GOLD

Maybe for you. Not for everyone. It's clear the experience with 7057 varies from setup to setup. Meaning the issues people are having are not necessarily their fault, as it could boil down to being a problem with certain chipset drivers - who knows. It's not a public build so I wouldn't worry too much. But if it runs fine for you, then great.

I think i saw somewhere that 7061 was the current latest build (the day i read it) and it was built on March 11th 2009? If so then i'm guessing they aren't much futher past that so it's possible this is real. Then again that's just the beta addict in me ready to format and install the latest version :)

Oh so its not just me then! Right after upgrading, couldnt even activate 7057 cause my network would not do a damn thing.

It connected to my Linksys router just fine and was picking up its 192.168.x.x address there but would not for the life of it go past the linksys and onto the internet. Took a reboot to fix it that time, but its since popped up a couple times in the last few days again..

Sometimes takes a reboot, sometimes it just fixes itself..

You,

Are,

****ing,

Jokeing? Right?

I saw the post on this thread. I find it a sad attempt at making it seem like it's 7070 by making the icons and such bigger. The date is the 29th also, which the latest 29th was February of course and they weren't up to build 7070 by then, nor were they up to 7061.

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

sources :http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-7-B...09-106822.shtml

How about you read what they actually wrote? :pinch:

The neither wrote that 7061 would be RC-Escrow, nor that it would be out in the wild. They only wrote that MS has compiled 7061 (nothing more), that 7057 is avaiable in the wild, and that RC-Escrow should come end of April.

Were really flying along now lol

7070

Bad fake :pinch:

Look in the lower right corner, where they've covered up the build number with a search tool bar because they were too lazy to fake it.

Also, the control panel is the same it was in Build 7000 and was changed in 7022 already. Now I would be really happy if they changed the way ugly new grey control panel background back to how it was in 7000, but somehow I fear that won't happen :(

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
