Changes in build 7201?


Recommended Posts

Yup, once you add up all the "faster" claims, 7 is actually 3000% faster than Vista and might even run without a computer at all.

:laugh:

Well, found a new bug within 20 seconds, WMP opening up another Taskbar Icon when already pinned but it took about a second to fix.

Apart from that, feels nice, as fast as 7127 at least which is my current favourite build.

i sometimes have that issue with IE8 in RC.

either a log off-log on or a restart fixes it :D

I noticed that now my graphic card (Ati 4870) scores 7.5 in Windows Experience Index in build 7201 x64; in previous builds it was 6.8

And my cpu (Core2Duo E8400) scores 6.6 instead of 6.5

All other things looks identical to me

build 7101 --- 7199 will be pre RTM branch

and build 7200 will be win 7 RTM

build 7201 ---- 7299 will be pre sp1 branch

and build 7300 will be win 7 sp1

but why does they started build sp1 so early before 7200 is compiled!!!

Because you just made up those numbers? :p

Not smooth upgrade, upon it, system sounds were enabled, although in settings it shows no sound, some other messed up stuff with similar issues,

That one isn't new, It has happened to me before in 7100

I'm surprised that all these people installing build after build won't go that extra step and run a benchmark or two. If it's getting faster, it'll show in something like Sysmark which runs loads of general benchmarks and not game specific ones.

for me it's working. (but an hour ago, the gadget system crashed, I doesn't do anything...)

Pre-SP1 is where all of your release day patches will be coming from.

I can already see there aren't too many changes, but speed and bug fixes are always a good thing. :)

Didn't know people still used that bland default weather gadget. So many better alternatives out there.

what disappoints me is the icons and buttons need some work..

and they are not doing it..

its a one man job .. would take me 3 4 dayx to do it.... i dont understand why they arent doing it.

other then that.. i think they want to do some optimization that is why they branched away with the SP1.. so they can try different set of code tunings to make sure the SP1 speeds this windows more then SP1 improved Vista.. :p

just a thought.. :p

Anyone with dual screen that had problems on the x64 RC 7100 build with one monitor not getting input can confirm it is fixed on this build?

Might install this tonight :)

Warning: some internal vga usb 2.0 notebook cameras (vmicro, chicony, samsung, ...) are not picked by this build and (vista) oem drivers for those devices are also not recognized/installable in 7201! Stick with 7137--it's a polished 7100 with no regressions like this one.

After installing this build, my VGA card ATI 4870 X2 performance mark went from 6.1 in all previous builds to 7.2 in this build using same drivers.

very good improvement.

I didn't have any problems on 7100 x64 with dual monitors. But will be installing this tonight as well.

That's funny, someone said that their single 4870 got 7.5, haha.

Simply a change in their WEI benchmarking routine, rather than a real graphics performance gain. An nvidia 8400gs jumped from 4.2 to 5.3 under 7201, but 3dmark06 didn't change ;-)
