Which registry entry do you edit?

Haha, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Current Version and create a DWORD called AeroDiamondUltimate and set it to value 1.

Then restart your computer and create a new username called "IveBeenPwned" and use the picture of the butterfly. Restart again and log in to your new user.

Enjoy :)

Microsoft nor their blog are going to confirm its been leaked, they will flat out deny it up till the minute Balmer or whoever makes the announcement. Confirming it just steals their thunder and makes them look bad. Im not suggesting this is a fake or it isnt, just suggesting a business pov. The blog says it will be released 2nd half of July....that could mean the afternoon of July 15th :p

It's funny watching people change their stories even when they're being told straight from the horses mouth to wait, like a little child screaming "LALALALALALALALA NOT LISTENING" while you try to tell them something. :whistle:

Well that was irritating.

Anyway, apparently there's gonna be a 7600.16385 build, so while 7600 may be RTM, this specific one won't be I guess.

It bothers me enough to not be able to have a windows 7 installation for longer than a few days and reverting back to vista.

Wow.

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.

I'd like to see you develop an OS and get everything within it 100% perfect.

I'll say the same thing I've been saying for 30 years with respect to computers and operating systems to anyone that bashes any of them:

The day you can do better, do it, and I'll be first in line to buy it, and I'll have $10,000 cash in my hand.

Until then, put up or STFU about it.

It's really that simple.

I love how Microsoft totally missed the point of my post on their RTM questions post. And then they typo'd my name :(

My post just to get microsoft's input:

Will we see any new icons or sounds before RTM is finished? I know Vista had them added at the last minute but now it seems a little late, which is disappointing because the logon sound is identical to vista's, and the new icons don't match any of the old icons.

Hi Jimmy442,

We just posted a great article on themes and making Windows 7 a true global market release: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/07/0...bal-market.aspx . We also have a post about personalization here: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/05/0...ersonality.aspx

We'll have a host of themes inbox and more importantly a great model for people to create themes. Check out this URL for additional information and themes you can download: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...ads/personalize

Thanks,

Mike

And

@jimmy442:

One more link for you on Themes: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/06/0...-windows-7.aspx

:)

Thanks,

Mike

Themes != icons.

Wow.

I'd like to see you develop an OS and get everything within it 100% perfect.

Well, Vista is smooth, so you would think they could do the same to 7.

And I also reverted back to Vista just because of this.

It is quite visible on my pc, and even menus have a short "black" flicker when opened.

It feels like I am running 7 on an old pc..and that is not a good feeling when I have just recently bought a new rig.

Hence my move back to Vista that runs smooth as silk.

I really don't get this obsession with icons .. and I don't see this other problem either .. oh well ..

I don't get the whole icon thing either and in the couple 7 builds I've tried I've never seen the issue with Aero people are talking about.

Maybe the people in here with that issue should see if their systems have anything in common that might be causing it.

Actually, I have talked to other with the same problem (aero stutter)@guru3D.com, and all with the problem have high-end rigs(quad-cores, nvidia 250 or higher)..so it almost seems like 7 aint optimized for good comps.

Sounds wierd, but who knows.

Maybe they have been focusing too much on lower-end comps lol.

It's funny watching people change their stories even when they're being told straight from the horses mouth to wait, like a little child screaming "LALALALALALALALA NOT LISTENING" while you try to tell them something. :whistle:

who put you in charge? i'll install whichever builds i want, thanks. I dont care if its final or not, it's a damn site more final than previous builds. I'm glad you feel you've achieved something.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
