Windows 7 build 7048 x64 - LEAKed

Subject: Windows 7 build 7048 x64 - LEAKed March 6th 2009, 1:49 pm

wait, i'm downloading the latest build of windows 7 (betas) ... they say it's 20 times better than build 7000 or 7022.. this 7048 build is the last beta so it's considered a Pre-RC version tongue

Have you guys seen the icons in the latest 7 betas? They look like they were made by a 10 year old surprised

i do no really care what icons are used tongue

, just want to experience a new operative system, that actually works good with CS1.6 at least.... as vista for me gave me to many breaks and fps drops :\

i think that doesn't exist.. 7048 was compiled in 19 February, the next official "build" is the RC1

I'm disappointed with Windows personally.
Win 7 is obviously better than vista and xp, but I think microsoft could have done more, or they should make this an "upgrade" OS meaning its priced less. There are only minor changes in usability, but at least they made some big changes under the hood

there are rumours that microsoft will give "free" upgrade vouchers for Windows 7.. cause vista sucked hard :\ ... but i don't know if this is trustworthy

@rui: liesss!

@sbux: personally its deffinantly more usable but i would love extremely for there to be a way to have the XP start menu back. Though the win 7 menu vs Vista is diffinantly a win for win 7. there are smaller amazing things that make it hell of a lot better than the vista. the taskbar is amazing and works like a charm smile

im actually really happy with Microsoft at the moment especially with the powershell and then the new kernel prevents all of the crashes i had with vista. DX11 is something i cant wait for either smile

with x.org refusing to detect my mouse i cant watch Arrested Development in a graphical shell happy

its a hell of a lot faster than vista as well xD now MS just needs a decent instant messaging application by default and a tad better file manager (which btw explorer.exe already uses about only 2/3 of the memory that it used to) which is also btw much better in win 7 compared to vista. And the libraries thing, which some people dont like, is something i tottally love now that ive gotten to using it. Its about as handy as having a whole dvd box set

ill stop typing now tongue

You just got me there with the DX11 alxm tongue

THAT is one place where microsoft has a total win happy

.

Obviously, windows is by far the best for gaming and great graphics

Lol, i was pleased with the 7000 build, but reviews in a pc mag, they said preformance wise, it wasn't any better then vista, just slightly faster. I think MS still have a few things to sort out in terms of building a new framework for its OS, but win7 seems to be a step in the right direction.

@sbux: but remember DX11 isnt an FPS booster, it just lets you do more with the FPS you already have wink

@stezz: on vista my computers rating thing is 3.4 and on win 7 its 4.1 smile

plus my friends computer running with a 9800 GTS nvidia card with sli and DDR3 on vista is slower than my computer with DDR2 and a 8600 GTS nvidia card smile

i'm really loving this 7048 build... it takes the same time to start as my xp instalation smile

it's stupid fast happy

, videos play nice, music plays nice, all hardware detected, really it has to be better than vista wink

Subject: Re: Windows 7 build 7048 x64 - LEAKed March 7th 2009, 7:59 pm

Hardware detection is another win win in windows 7. On vista I needed to download a bunch of stuff to get it working normally, windows 7, it was pretty much out of the box

Regular Visitor

Yeah I must say that too, vista didn't detect my graphics card at first boot, worked oob with windows 7. I might try and 'find' this version of the beta wink

I'm using Windows 7 Build 7068 on my Mac, it runs pretty well.
