The article is good. But it doesn't mention that Remote Desktop Connections are remembered on the "Recent" list. That's a good thing in my opinion

At what point will Build 7048 be availiable on the W7 updates or availiable for download from MS?

Hello saverio,
Unless you are a MS official tester 7048 will not be made available direct from MS, if you are it's already available. Also MS never include complete OS builds in windows update

Oh I see. I downloaded my Build 7000 from MS themselves, so I thought perhaps ther would be a continuity there.
So in essence i carry on with Build 7000 until it expires whereupon what, I have to go back to Vista?
Or will another build be open to me? ... or hopefully the full retail version will be out...
here's hoping!

There should be an RC (release candidate) build out for public download at some point before 7000 expires.

Microsoft have stated that the Release candidate will be a public release, or at least "widely available". When the Beta time bombs you will need to reinstall a valid OS This could be Vista, The RC or the released windows 7

Thanks barman, and gary,
I really hope that I can get the RC or failing that the retail before my build expires.
I'm dreading having to re-install vista and go backwards!
I'm really enjoying this experience, and that's coming from a hardcore Mac User !
(see we can be turned!
)
There's still a couple of things that I feel really would be of benefit, and i'v communicated this through the Feedback loop, but mostly I'm really impressed.
Side by side: UI changes from Windows 7 beta to build 7048
Posted: 09 Mar 2009
What's new in the latest Windows 7 build? I'm asked this question every time there's a new build out and I see it asked on forums, too. Usually, the response is brief because it's really hard to spot all the changes when you're just using the new build. That's exactly why I've put this post together: I have Windows 7 build 7000 on my laptop, and Windows 7 build 7048 on my desktop, and I've gone through trying to spot as many changes as I can. That's not to say that this list is a comprehensive one, but it's a solid start, and I encourage you to leave feedback in the comments as I will be reading all of them before I do a more thorough comparison between the beta to the RC.
Build 7000 was compiled on December 12, 2008, at 2:00pm and the leaked build 7048 was compiled on February 19, 2009 at 6:45pm, so there is over two months of work to cover. This is not about the new sound schemes, sample videos, sample pictures, and wallpapers; this is about the UI and feature changes between both builds. Although I do mention some fixed bugs, I'm mainly focusing on tweaks that are "tangible" as opposed to the thousands of bugs that have been fixed.
In the comparison screenshots, I have tried to keep build 7000 on the left and build 7048 on the right, or build 7000 above and build 7048 below. Also remember that the "Send Feedback" link has been removed in build 7048, so that's an easy way to remember if there is a window title bar visible.
