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


Recommended Posts

You know, since it has the 7100 build number people figure it's THE RC the public will get next month. But since MS can change and make the build # be whatever they want, we could very well see a few different "builds" of 7100 by the time it goes public.

This has happened before with MS and that's why you get the extra .x at the end. Right now this is 7100.0, but who's to say by the time it goes public it won't be something like 7100.2 or .3?

This one?

My old laptop had a graphics rating of 3.0 and it ran Aero just fine.

hi

does punkbuster still inflict problems ?

I can't confirm it yet as I'm not on the RC but I'd say that yes, it's still broken. Evenbalance can't be bothered to add Windows 7 support at this stage. This is why outsourcing anti cheat protection is a stupid idea, it's broke so many games.

This does look to be the real release Candidate. I'm not sure why people doubt that, but as Neowin already reported, "According to reports, 7115.0.winmain.090421-1650 is the latest build internally at the time of writing." which makes sense, since they aren't going to just stop internal builds after 7100.

I have installed it this afternoon, frankly I can't tell whether it's the RC or what, its pretty much the same look wise and performance wise for me at least. I don't know if the watermark should say RC or just Evaluation Copy build 7100!

grdh20, the only problem I see Is that the RC Is supose to come with a feedback tool, I can't imagine a RC without a feedback tool.

If that's the case with RC builds, then this definitely doesn't come with the Feedback Tool.

.... man still no signs of ne new about a different 7100 build..

i really doubt its complete 7100..

i think its a work in progress 7100..

its 24th i think we will know soon when it is released to the technet site ...

Have people forgot one vital point?

That being that testers were due to get an RC at the end of this month which is this build and public were suppose to get another at the end of May.

Yeah sure recent reports suggest otherwise to the end of May public date but there is such a thing a build duplicating. What do people think the number after the build number ie 7100. means?

It's entirely possible this may be an internal/OEM only version of the RC and the public may get an updated one with the build tag 7100.1

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
