Windows 7 Build 7100 RC (Changes/Bugs/Tweaks) Discussion

[neo1911]

Well The build is quite snappy and does not kill my wifi connection randomly every hour :)

ANY individual talking about obtaining windows 7 from a news group or torrent, or which is faster at obtaining illegal content, torrents or newsgroups, will get a warning or a suspension from the Neowin forums.

You've been warned

comes with an updated atheros wlan driver but it sitll kills my connection evers minute. I always need to copy athr.sys from older builds to get it working...

In build 7077 I could not use the safely remove hardware feature for my external HD. This has been fixed in build 7100.

Also, and this is hard to say since the diff for common OS tasks between really fast (build 7077) and perceptibly instant was already very small, but I think this build is faster.

[Brendando]

How big is the install size? Smaller or the same as 7077?

[Dannydeman]

This is just build 7077 with small bugfixes. But software/driver developers will develop updates based on 7100, so updating is very important if you want to use the latest software and drivers on WIndows 7 (videocard drivers are very sensitive for example)

I don't know what size 7077 was, never had a reason to look. With build 7100 I am under 10 GB on a new install. Hope that helps.

[Unimatrix Xero]

[koinonia]

So far nothing new from 7077, guess it's all bug fixes =)

I thought that too untill i saw the join date, '08 '09 Dannydeman started before you did. Its just because they don't have Avatars or sigs. Posting infrequently doesn't make them "new"

anyway to remove the evaluation copy text in this build. Ive had a few issues with removing it and then windows saying it wasn't genuine in both 77 and 68.

Why do you people want to remove the text in the bottom of the screen? It's hardly intrusive now is it?

[nintylinky]

I just do not want it there

Yes it is, there is nothing more than having a sexy wallpaper and having some random text in the bottom right hand corner to ruin it. Microsoft could actually make it worse by making it change to random different colours. :p

[atleeit]

It still has the BETTA fish as wallpaper but it's RC now lol :p

[lee31]

I can't believe people still expect to find major visual changes then complain that only bug fixes have been made.

When are people going to get it into their heads that no major visual chances will be appear and it's mostly about fixing bugs and tweaking the UI here and there with minor changes.

Get over it already.

[Zain Adeel]

Why is it that i think its not the RC...

i mean... i know its build 7100..

but mayb Microsoft have to finalize it before the release...

as i think there should be a Release Candidate written like Beta was written on build 7100

And The BETA FISH... .i dont think so they will include that. I think they will use the wall they used in the conference.. and i even think They will change the login screen if not then they will make a similar wall that will be the default..

ITS THE RC:.. isnt it suppose to be graphically complete??

Brandon Live practically said that people shouldn't expect a new UI, though, he never dismissed that possible theme tweaks, and even then that's pretty unlikely, RC practically means done.

RC = Graphically compete/feature complete.

Stop thinking you'll get a new UI, because you won't. And the fish wallpaper is probably a placemark for a better wallpaper.

[Zain Adeel]

who said a new UI..

Can anybody just tell me if the picture viewer is fixed??? the SLIDESHOW BUTTON...

its suppose to be just like the media player PLAY button isnt it??

if this really is the finalized RC then it will be fixed rite??

i just want a screenshot

[CPressland]

[Zain Adeel]

ill be disappointed if the Released RC HAS THE BETA **** WALL!!! :(

Microsoft is doing well for the code i knw... but they are a little bak in the graphics department...

there are many small UI flaws..

[Guest xiphi]

Can anyone confirm if unplugging an XBOX 360 Controller still causes a BSOD?

[Zain Adeel]
