On a Vaio Z (C2D @ 2.53 ghz, 4GB DDR3, 7200RPM hdd): Start Menu then type "cmd" to launch command line. It can take up to 10 seconds for the window the finally show up! Whereas typing "word" (Word 2007) comes in just 2 seconds. Yep, Word starts faster than the humble command line!!!?

Um what do you mean no they haven't? How are you going to tell me what problems I did or didn't have in windows 7? I had the same bug in 7022 and 7068 and it was fixed in builds up until 7100.

How about that I have a native 1440x900 resolution and it was still there? Hence, the problem is not 7.

So just because you didn't experience the problem means that it's non existant? Your logic seems flawed to me. In screen resolution, it skips from 1366x768 (or whatever it is) to 1600x1200 which isnt even supported on my monitor.

You said they "removed" the resolution, hence my response "No, they haven't". I never denied that you had a problem. :)

He never said that. He said the problem is not 7. ;)

This doesn't scream "Release Candidate" to me at all. It screams "Done!". This is simply the best Windows release yet!

Well isn't a release candidate a candidate for release? So it should scream done. It should be a candidate for release.

dissapointed by screensavers ;)

Yes, the screensavers are really lame :x

In 7000 already, I have copied over the "My Pictures Slideshow" screensaver (ssmypics.scr) from XP 64 and have been using it since, with no problems whatsoever :cool:

The Win7 "Photos" screensaver is a huge step back there, as it's a lot more primitive :pinch:

Is there a way to set the boot logo to be widescreen? It looks pretty bad stretched.

I use widescreen as well (1920x1200), and the boot logo is not streched at all.

What size is everyone elses Windows folder on x64?

Mines says 11.6GB, thought that was quite high :/ I usually Vlite, but I couldn't be bothered for 7100, so that might be why I'm not use to it being so high.

Disable Java SSV helper plugin. That solved the problem for me.

Another possibility is that Spybot or similar has added a huge number of entries to the Restricted Sites list - this slowed it down for me. Clearing that list fixed the slowness for me (after trying the plugin issue).

Here's a new feature I've noticed, more of a mouse gesture type thing.

If you go down to the Tashbar, click on an explorer window, or a MSN window. Click + hold and pull your mouse up and it'll open up the right click menu.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Interesting. I suspect memory and storage costs have slowed the rollout of Windows 11-compatible hardware for some customers. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
