Windows 7 SP1 Compatibility Mode?

[marcusj0015]

in the compadibility mode section, Windows 7 is an option?

what the heck is going on?

and the custom flag on winver, i modded it, so don't freak out.

Well...................

SP1 (may) cause issues with software.... Maybe MS is just playing it safe?

That's..... different

I just double checked my Compatibility mode and I don't have "Windows 7" as a option - though I don't have SP1 installed either.

Interested to hear from other SP1 users.

Hmmm.....

 

[Airbot]

Have it here with SP1.

 

[sygnus21]

You have a theory on why?

 

[Brink]

It was the same with Vista when the Vista SP1 and SP2 came out.

Since Windows 7 is a older version of Windows than Windows 7 SP1, it will be listed in case a program is only compatible with Windows 7 and not Windows 7 SP1.

 

[Airbot]

They always give the last version for compatibility when you have the latest one, don't they? Just how's it's done I believe. Running the SP1, so naturally they would have Win 7 pre SP1 for compatibility there.

Thanks for the clarification. BTW I never even noticed tthey did this on Vista; shows how much I used compatibility mode there

Thanks.

Thanks Airbot.

[Snowflake]

[Airbot]

 

[yowanvista]

it seems it still not stable

SP1 is perfectly stable without any issues

 

[bagavan]

absolutely stable with SP1

 

[Snowflake]

Windows 7 SP1

it seems it still not stable

SP1 is perfectly stable without any issues

anyway, i will try it later, not now.

 

[marcusj0015]

i didn't know, i assumed that there were some Windows 8 Compadibility bits mixed in with the SP1.

idk i don't trust this SP1 build.

No, there is absolutely no Win8 bits in it, it contains mostly bug fixes and security patches for Win7

 

[marcusj0015]

yeah, i KNOW that it dosent have Win8 bits,

but i felt like there could be.

like someone accidently replaced some file with the win8 version,

try to tell me it's not possible, becasue it completely is.

If you downloaded it from the right place then it's highly highly unlikely that it's corrupt.

If you're worried then just uninstall it and wait from MS to release it officially. You'll see the same option from the official build too.

Edit: I downloaded SP1 from the right place and my compatibility mode shows the same, so there's nothing wrong with it

 

[marcusj0015]

do you have an official link to PM me/ post?

i'm making a Windows 7 Image, and i want the OFFICAL version straight from microsoft for security and updatability reasons.

i thought it would OFFICIALLY be out like a week ago,

there taking there time on this.

do you have any idea on when it will be officially be released?
