so will it just give the option of which version of windows 7 you want to install? or is there going to be several releases for home, proffessional and ultimate?

Prob not. The leaked version is ultimate with everything unlocked. So I don't know if anyone would bother uploading the home or professional versions.

There will be only one DVD of Windows 7. Depending on the product key the user will activate the version purchased. I don't know what this leaked file exactly is...

Probably speculation. Only 1 DVD for x86 and one for x64..

Are the new sounds in this build? :woot:

New sounds? There's been new sound schemes since 6956. If you mean the logon sound, that's probably not going to be/isn't replaced.

I'm disappointed that Microsoft didn't take the time to replace the 4 or so icons from Windows Vista that really stuck out, and really disappointed that they probably didn't make the logon experience better. Seriously, it looks so harsh going from black to the logon - at least vista had a fancy animation and then the logon faded in.

Who in their right mind actually has logon sounds or the default icons on almost any OS? I mean seriously, the first thing I do on any OS is I turn off any system sounds, replace the icons and whatever awful wallpapers / colour schemes they ship with.

They're just sounds - replace them with .. I don't know, SOMETHING :p

It's basically another confirmation that interface consistency isn't really that high on the agenda with Microsoft. The icon style of the changed icons (system preferences, calculator etc.) has absolutely nothing to do anymore with the style of the Vista icons.

Using that logic companies like Apple and Microsoft should invest little time and effort in interface design at all, you can change it anyway right? Next to that changing icons and most other resources on Mac OS X is a whole lot easier than on Windows.

I think a lot of people just leave it as is..that's why the Out Of Box Experience is so important.

Is it me, or has that thread on that website where all this 7600 stuff was going on gone?

I'm not really that bothered TBH, but there were thousands downloading from him...

EDIT: Ah, it's been explained. It was deleted, it should be back up again shortly.

He said it was a rumor.

Uh it's inconsistent. It makes it look bad.

Yet people still use it, if people voted with their wallet instead of sat whining about it maybe they would change it, but then the people whining about the inconsistent UI are the vocal minority and not worth Microsoft time and money creating a new GUI which no doubt people would whine about they cant win.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
