It was the DVD, I'm typing this from Windows 7 RC! In Firefox of course! I started installing at around 12:30 and it finished at 12:50. Pretty damn quick.

I don't really like the new wallpaper/theme changer. I know a wallpaper isn't a major thing but I like my 22 inch monitor to look it's best. In Vista, you could choose wallpapers separately but where is that in Windows 7? It was there in the Beta. All I see are themes.

I actually lol'd.

I swear it hasn't even -moved- since the beta.

Thank You... I used the link to download the 64-bit version last night, I used the MS Download Manager and made sure it reached 100%. The ISO burned fine using ImgBurn; Windows 7 installed in about 15 minutes, and all devices in Device Manager were installed and working (AHCI, ATI 4870, Realtek HD and Ethernet... All working at first boot). Installed latest ATI 9.4 for Win7 no problem, Realtek drivers updated fine using Vista 64-bit 2.22 drivers. So far so good, no problems whatsoever.

Just to see if the iso downloaded correctly i tried mounting it to daemon tools but I get this when trying to run the setup.

Any idea what the problem is?

Edit: I was thinking of attempting from just trying an upgrade from vista (not on my primary of course) to see if there were any problems, but this keeps me from being able to achieve that.

Win7U killed my bootloader, so I cannot boot into WinVHP...how do I reinstall the bootloader so that I can boot into either OS; as I have games, etc. on my WinVHP partition?!

It didn't kill your bootloader, it just removed the entry to Vista so it doesn't give you the choice of which OS to boot at startup. Have you tried EasyBCD? http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 I don't know if it'll work on 7, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Or you could just do it manually with BCDedit.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
