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.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
