can't see them including .NET 4 as developers using .NET 3.5 might get conflicts, they have never including newer versions of .NET with Vista service packs, can't see them doing it this time, would be nice though for us end-users. Bluray burning support, .mkv support, new games, replacing windows defender with microsoft security essentials would be good too but for anti-competition reasons i can't see that happening either.

They could improve the features drastically but i can't see them doing that as there would be less reasons to buy win8 then.

doesn't 7 already burn blu-rays ?

oh wait ...even vista SP2 can ...have a look

ahh, so it can:P can't see them adding bluray playback to WMP tho, pesky royalties:(

that would be currently neat of them to include it .......at very least maybe they should include it as win7 ultimate feature ?

USB3 support shall be nice in SP1 :) I hope that SP1 is slipstreamable and not just putting the .exe in the update folder on the dvd.

Slipstreaming the same way it used to be done in XP is not possible under Vista/7. Just install the update, sysprep, then capture the image, or, as you said, just slap the update in the update folder (which is the new way of "slipstreaming").

that is it? :blink:

edit:

what "update folder"

i have looked into window dvd can't find it

unless you mean "upgrade folder"

or wait for a SP1 integrated .iso to be put on technet/msdn and download the leak of it:P

I've got a legit copy of win7 pro, cost me ?80 but i want a properly integrated SP1 .iso as i format a few times a year due to upgrading my pc regularly, ms forcing me to illegally download:( they should just release a hotfix that will let you slipstream or release a seperate tool.

Off topic, but has that CHKDSK memory leak been fixed with these updates that have been going around for Windows 7? There hasn't been any specific information on that and I am starting to need it.

For crying out loud, there wasn't a memory leak in CHKDSK. Does anyone not pay attention to crap anymore?

Please those who care about improving the OS by SP1 instead of chanting the "Windows 7 is perfect" mantra, please request the features from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_featu...n_Windows_Vista and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_featu...ed_in_Windows_7 on their forums. Only if enough people complain they might fix some issues like no total size or free disk space on status bar in Explorer, ability to disable auto sort so your files don't get scattered and so on.

There is no perfect OS out there. I don't have any problems with Windows 7 Pro and I don't see any bugs that would require a SP. All I can say is the first build of Win 7 is better than Vista ever was or wil be.

Don't be so pathetic. Microsoft aren't forcing you to do anything. You're downloading stuff illegally yourself. *rolleyes*

It is not that we think it is too early to start working for SP1, rather just too early to even reach a beta milestone for SP1 without waiting for some post-launch feedback. From what I have been reading about MS, they probably will be releasing SP1 sometime next summer, which puts it just one year after they RTM'd Windows 7. Basically all their release times are accelerated now compared to how they used to do things prior to vista.

Agreed - I think it's too early to meet a "beta" milestone but I do think they will be working on it.

this isn't legit, not yet, too soon. but man can you imagine how much better 7 will be after sp1? i mean it's almost perfect now! ;)

Which will come first ? Vista Sp3 or 7 Sp1 :p

whats vista? jeez...i can't even sell my vista keys, people only care about 7 now.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
