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

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
