Just edit the iso in UltraISO.

Open it up, find ei.cfg, delete it and save the iso.

Yup, that works. Although since I just extracted the ISO to a flash drive and install from that it was just a matter of deleting it and going on my way. Installing from a flash drive is way faster.

I'm pretty sure it's 16385. Like I said earlier, the change to subbuild 16399 was done through windows update and this was only recently done. People are reporting the same hash as was to Wzor, which means it is the same build as 16385.

Use the Akamai download manager. Open up Internet explorer, go to Top Downloads when you signed in, and you will see the links, if you do not. Try closing File TRansfer Manager.

I probably should have used that. Do you think Firefox is slower without the Akamai manager?

for Today it's only for MSDN and Technet users. I think connect people will get theirs near the end of the month.

You just won't be able to see the links in Top Downloads if you're using firefox. use Internet explorer for that.

According to MS its today for Connect users as well. Not sure...

? Both the download option and the boxed product will include x86 and x64.

? In both cases your product key will activate your choice of one of these.

? Downloads will be available to members of the Technical Beta Program on August 6th.

? We are not offering evaluation copies as download therefore only those who choose download as an option will have access to the download images.

? We can only ship boxed product to the shipping address you have on file with Connect. Please make sure it is up to date.

? Because there will be a limited amount of boxed product available we will notify you no later than the end of day August 6th as to whether we were able to fulfill your request. If not, we will automatically convert your request to a download.

? Members of our international ?Mini beta? efforts do not need to do anything yet. Starting August 6th you will be given access to downloads and over the next several weeks we will ensure all languages are posted and available to you.

Can anyone with Connect access shed some light?

I've finished installing Win7 and now I'm just installing other software and I noticed that there's no link anywhere for WLM or any of the Windows Live software. I thought a link would appear on the Start menu by default?

Go to the getting started section and click the black arrow. You will see a link for get windows live essentials.

I checked the connect newsgroup, "Wendy" who is part of the Windows beta management team posted that she "...in the process of making this live today. Please stay tuned.", if I am not wrong I think when Vista was made available to connect users it was around 330~430ish in the evening PST.

Any words on other languages?

I'm waiting for Spanish..

The leaked RTM and language packs are working great, but its better to have the release in the language you need if there is no need for LP's.

If I know right, the other languages will available only from 1st of october.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
