fix-this! Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 i see there is a new build out and maybe another one coming soon. i was just wondering who is still running the "official" 7100 rc build as i am? part of me wants to install a newer build but i don't see the point over a few bug fixes that don't currently effect me. if it was a security issue i would of course. to be honest my wife wants me to put vista back on our rig until 7 comes out later this year because she is sick of me formatting all the time. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbochilli Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I too, I don't see any point that I should install later builds. Well, I'm very happy with 7100 and will be using it 'till RTM. J.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0mbi Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yeah 7100 goes alright..until the next RC anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm content with the RC until RTM as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I too, I don't see any point that I should install later builds.Well, I'm very happy with 7100 and will be using it 'till RTM. Exactly. Any differences in these builds from 7100 RC is more than likely very small. And as was stated above, constant reformatting just to have the "latest" can't be good for the HD. In any event, 7100 RC is rock solid. No BSOD's, no driver issues, haven't had one bug and it's very fast. So why bother until RTM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHaze420 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 In all fairness theres only been the one genuine confirmed leak since the 7100 RC build so I haven't upgraded yet. The RC is running great so i'm not going to mess with it at the moment. Maybe in a month or so when some later builds get leaked i'll upgrade..

Lee G. Veteran Posted May 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 23, 2009 i do agree with the wife partially, it can't be good to format your hdd all the time either. Formatting your hard drive frequently shouldn't have any bad effects on the hard drive. I'm using Windows 7 RC, and am very pleased with it. It's running very well. I can no longer be bothered using time to download and install new builds of Windows 7, and then installing all of my programs - there are only a couple of small bug fixes in the new builds anyway. Also, the methods of obtaining the new builds are blocked here, (with the exception of Usenet, which I don't use anyway), so I couldn't really download the new builds, even if I wanted to.

Dannydeman Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I am still at 7077 which works great. No issues at all, so I don't bother to upgrade till some new builds will leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanko panko Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Happy with 7100 and a bit too lazy to install intermediates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmark Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Still using RC. Using it as my main OS on a 3 yr. old 939 mobo. Very responsive. I really like this OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm using 7057 on my laptop still. Not had a chance to clean install it for 7127 yet. My other computer has it, though. Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rk5ky Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 7100 till RTM :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Still running 7100 on my main PC and two laptops. As I'm an official tester, I wouldn't be able to do my testing if I upgraded to one of the newer leaked builds, so I'll stick on 7100 until they (Microsoft) give me something newer to test :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neo7 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 7077 escrow RC and 7100 RC isos were smaller: 3.05 GB for x64 version 7057, 7068 and 7127 isos are larger: 3.24 GB for x64 Maybe it's debug code in the latter, hence the few users who have reported 7100 RC to be slightly faster, especially regarding boot time?

lunamonkey Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 yo. Once I installed 7100, got itunes and a couple of games running, I really couldn't be bothered to clean install. It's running fine, and as long as it's patched now and again, I'll run it until I buy it at retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServerMechanic Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I've been running build 7100 on my work laptop (in production) since the day the RC was released. I love it. It's about 100 times better than Vista w/SP1 will ever be. I still don't think there is anything wrong with XP Pro with SP3 and I don't know that I would recommend Windows 7 over WinXP. I see no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 In any event, 7100 RC is rock solid. No BSOD's, no driver issues, haven't had one bug and it's very fast. So why bother until RTM? I have a driver issue, my Tascam Fireone won't work with the Vista drivers in Windows 7! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen1393 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Running 7100 and the only problem I have atm is that my Printer is 32-bit only so I just have to print my files off of my XP or Vista PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
