So apart from the installation environment with the new branding, are there any other UI changes or Icons which have changed in this build?

Still waiting for x64, but I am expecting only a few finishing UI touches in this one. Most of the progress will mainly be under the hood with more bug squashing, code optimization, and maybe a slight performance boost. It is nearing RC, so they won't be doing anything drastic at this point.

I just installed it, and Holy crap, IE 8 is blazing fast! It definitely feels faster than the one in 7057. There's also a new cool animation when opening Windows Media Center. When clicking on Libraries for the first time, a window pops up asking to create a Homegroup.

Another thing that I can definitely notice is that Aero has improved. In all previous Windows 7 builds there was a certain "jerkiness" when opening and especially closing Aero windows, can't really explain it but it was kind of minor and I simply learned to live with it. However in 7068 this seemed to go away! Very impressed so far, will keep you posted as I fiddle around with the build.

A screenshot is a picture. Microsoft maintains control of distribution of non-released builds of Windows, so linking to (or requesting links to) the OS is a no-no. :)

(No, you can't post screenshots of where to get files.)

I think the more relavant question is why you feel it as being necessary to warn people for posting screenshots of their torrent client. Unless they happen to have the tracker URL showing in the screenshot, I wouldn't really constrew that as providing information on where to get the download.

Thanks a ton! Finally someone here worries about making an analysis over the new build. :)

I presume this is the RTM version of IE8. If it weren't for the lack of extensions, I'd definitely use IE8 full-time as my browser of choice.

My wireless card is working out of the box, unlike all previous builds.

Windows Media Player added some new privacy options you can set up when opening it for the first time.

Performance wise, it's fast as usual, IE opens instantly, no thrashing on hard drive but then again that was always the case with Windows 7. No errors so far. :)

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
