If it bothers you that much, you probably should see a doctor or something. Seriously, it's a non-issue and there's no point in making a stink about it when no one notices it during their daily usage of Windows 7.

Yes, it bothers a lot and you notice it thousands of times on daily usage (everytime you open or close a window). It just ruins the Aero experience, trust me.

Perhaps it is you who should actually see a doctor if you can't see it. Something must be wrong with your eyes/brain. If you don't see it or don't care about it doesn't mean it is a non-issue. Maybe just a non issue for you but not to the peoeple who notice this. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean "no one notices itduring their daily useage", there are plenty of posts/threads about this on th internet and I expect there will be many more come GA.

I never said I didn't see it. I just don't notice it. I don't stare at my PC like it's some painting on the wall. I actually use it. So, again, it's a non-issue. Millions of users aren't going to notice a "bug" like this that only takes a fraction of a second to happen. Learn to use your PC instead of staring at it.

Again, it is a non-issue to you but you are not everyone else, so keep your generalisations to yourself. A fraction of a sec every time I open or close a window adds up to many minutes a day. What is it with all these apologists (for microsoft) lately? There is one camp that tells people not to notice this bug, then there is another that says icons are not important because everyone supposedly changes them (by that logic they should just release a bare os with no icons or programs or services and everyone just fills in these gaps). How about you respect youselves a little and expect a product without these flaws.

Does anyone know if 7600 x64 is as horrible as 7264 x64?

Why is 7264 x64 horrible for you? .. working fine here.

Exactly what I was thinking ..

Jesus Christ. You're one of maybe 3 people who have complained about this. It's a NON-ISSUE. It does not get in the way of productivity. It's not noticeable during normal usage. If it was as big of an issue as you claim it is, MS would have fixed it by now. The other issues you name are cosmetic, nothing more. As much as something like this bothers you, I'm surprised you choose to use Windows at all.

FFS, who are you to generalise for everyone. It certainly is not only annoying to just 3 other people as you claim. It is noticeable during normal usage, in fact the only time it wouldn't be noticeable is if, as you put it, one just stares at the computer and does nothing with it.

P.S. This is my last response to you as you are extremely annoying and do not provide anything constructive in your posts.

As I said before, if it's as big of an issue as you claim it is, it would have been fixed. But, hey, let's start an online petition to get MS to stop the RTM of Windows 7 because of this showstopper of a bug. :rolleyes:

About this aero frame skipping 'mistake' i do notice it, and it does annoy me.. and some arent bothered by it.

We are all diffrent, we think diffrent and we notice diffrent things.

As some people are annoyed by it, do notice it each time a window is closed its not so much as 'making' it an issue its just seeing thats its not supposed to be like this, some people are perfectionists and some arent.. why bash eachothers heads in because we look at something in a diffrent way? cmon..

I agree that this does not stand in the way of the OS operating as it should, and in time i will probably get used to it.

I have several sources now telling me that Windows 7 is indeed RTM!

October 22 is tha launch date and you can buy it on new PC's and in shops.

Epect official aanouncement and availability on MSDN, Technet and Volume Licensesing sites soon.

I think him being in such a rush to bring us this news resulted in him forgetting English spelling rules, as indicated by the parts that have been highlighted in bold.

If you're going to bother pointing out things like that, might want to make sure you highlight all of the mistakes ;)

maybe his office 2010 beta spellchecker isnt working :D
I believe you meant to say "spelling checker" and not "spellchecker". Checking spells is a job for Wizard of Oz and Merlin.

Yes, I noticed that there are a few incorrect parts in the last sentence too. I would highlight them, but I'm unable to edit my own post. Those with a good grasp of English spelling and grammar won't need me pointing out the mistakes anyway.

It was really slow, IE didn't want to load half the time, a lot of my programs crashed upon opening. Maybe it was just a bad iso or something.

Also this may not be the final RTM build, according to MS it's going to be finished in the last 2 weeks of July.

https://partner.microsoft.com/US/productsso...dows/wiwindows7

And announced at Computex 2009 in Tapei, Windows 7 will release to manufacturing (RTM) during the last two weeks of July, with general commercial availability on October 22, 2009. So get started and test-drive Windows 7 RC today. Then show your colleagues and customers how Windows 7 can improve management, security, reliability, and performance.

Alright lads listen up, no one actually knows if this is the RTM build so stop asking if its real or not. I have installed it and the only difference i have noticed is, that there is no watermark on background, i don't know whether that means its RTM or not. Lookwise no difference at all.

I also doodled around with activation and this is what i got.

Don't ask me what i did :shiftyninja:

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
