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


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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)

wow just look at the amount of new people on this thread!

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?

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

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.

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.

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

Downloaded and Installing now, will report back with anything I've noticed changed after the install :)

O nice man!!!...

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
