=> Interesting changes in this specific build (from b7000 > b7022):

By 'win7':

- Patch fixing the MP3 corruption bug is already installed.
- Clock gadget received a larger size.
- Gadgets menu changed slightly.
- Some themes - like the UK one - have slightly been changed.
- Searching through start menu seems a bit faster now.
- Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1 is present.
- Gadgets are still working after turning UAC off.
- You have the chosen of displaying or hiding icons and gadgets at the desktop.

By 'TripOG':

- WMP change: " It has stream now instead of the sharing options" (> don't understand)

By 'limneos':

- Generally a bit faster.
- "Show all control panel items"has been deleted in CP. Instead you can only choose from: [FONT=&quot]'View by > Category, Small Icons, Large Icons.'
- When turning off UAC, there isn't a balloon popup anymore: instead it's a notification in the action center.
- Coloring of many windows have slightly been changed.
- Few changes to Action Center: few visual updates, activity to taskbar icon.
- New icon in 'All Programs': Desktop Gadget Gallery.
- Few visual improvements to the Homegroup and Network windows.
- You're able to add a 'Downloads' link to the start menu.
- Same with a 'Homegroup' link.

>> Others:

[/FONT] - Only the 32 bits version has been leaked.
- This is NOT the latest build Microsoft internals are testing.
- The navigation pane to the left has changed from blue to grayish white.

By JCXP.net:

- Installation seems much faster.
- It no longer asks you to join a HomeGroup during the setup, instead it's being created automatically.
- After the second reboot during install, when the bootloader came up there were three options: -Windows 7 (this would finish the install), Windows 7 Rollback (Not sure what this does. Possibly rolls back all changes the installer made? This did not show while installing Beta 1), and Windows 7 x86 (my previous installation of Windows 7).
- HomeGroup gets a new icon.
- General higher stability.
- New animation for the Explorer side pane.
- Ability to change width between address bar and search bar in explorer.

By Neowin.net:

- Aurora and Energy screensavers have been removed.
- New Welcome Center background.
- Now Playing is smaller: just artwork with the song name, artist, and album name cycling at the top.
- Now Playing now renders fonts crystal sharp.
- Windows Photo Viewer now looks like a Win7 application.
- New explorer to sidepanel explorer animation.
- New transition effects while changing wallpaper manually.
- 'Library' button moved to the top right of the Now Playing window.
- Added ability to remove more Windows Features (e.g. WMP, Windows Media Center, Windows DVD Maker)
- Jump Lists have received new icons.

I thought 7022 leaked last week or the week before

 

[win7]

I don't think the file has been around that long, but yeah it is now 100%.

 

[Studulike]

I have this version but debating as to if I should install it or not. I wonder if updates from M$ will still work.

 

[aeriolewinters]

Can someone test an XDDM Driver on it?

 

[ExNavy11]

Im downloading now. But its taking forever. 9 hours to go

 

[Studulike]

Ok I am going to install over night. I will test whatever you want me to throw at it.

Just hope I am not making a big mistake doing this. lol

 

[Mark]

I think I will pass on this one, why are the first leaked versions always 32Bit, I wish they would just dump 32Bit all together.

naw your not
you should be able to recover from it if anything goes wrong...
(either through unnistalling the driver through safe mode or startup repair...)

I think I will pass on this one, why are the first leaked versions always 32Bit, I wish they would just dump 32Bit all together.

because its the most compatible version Grim in that anyone with at least a P4 (as some core 2 duo's dont have 64 compat)
and also because a big portion of the computer populace is running 32bit OS's...
(i count since i am running a enviroment where there is a 32 and 64 bit systems everyday...)
while it would be nice to make windows 7 64 only i think that would undermine 7's true goal which is to grab those Xp users who have not upgraded (which almost for sure are running a 32bit OS....)


not that i would love it too but that would mean that i would decommission my server pc that is still working...
when it burns out ill hop on 64 for sure but for now i am still tied to 32 bit...
and the best thing about the move is that eventually 64 will be leaner than it is now because right it has to carry a 32bit compatibility layer....
when Windows 8 or 9 (if the last that long or if they are willing to release singularity or if it becomes the OS...)
you can be for sure that they will remove that compatibility layer which means that any extra overhead and memory usage will be gone..
and that 64 OS's will jump by leaps and bounds....

 

[Chappy]

Yah, I'll wait until it's an official release before I get it.
That plus it's only 32 bit so far

Grimm'ee - MS considered making W7 a 64bit only system but changed their minds due to public feedback. 64bit is maturing fast enough to have done it but so far the majority of the public just doesn't seem quite prepared for it yet, but I'd bet the farm that the next OS after W7 is strictly 64bit.

 

[Airbot]

What happened to the supposed 7025 build, why is it 7022?

a farm you say...
it sweetens the deal but alas i decline...
the only thing we have to wait for the official announcement that they will transition to 64 OS's only...

What happened to the supposed 7025 build, why is it 7022?

airbot these is a different group releasing this build...
as you can see they do not have the PC BETA logo in the bottom...
if i remember correctly this is a Russian group that has been playing around with it for some time...

 

[DiamondNRG]

Hello all, I am back after some time away..

I am using build 7022 64bit and all is well so far after 1 day

 

[Airbot]

Where'd you get 64 bit?

 

[TripOG]

kinda funny alot of yall say that these are not real versions and what not when people post pictures and say they have it... then what do you know the torrents start poping up with them. i vote next time someone talks about a new version or post pictures of it you dont dismiss it as being fake because its beginning to make some of you look foolish

we never said that this was fake...
(at least to my knowledge)
7025 is not and has not been leaked that this what most if not all staff will refer to..
7025 is more than enough to show that neither torrents or any links that are genuine have been brought up


and like the admin said (which is z3r010 if you see)
this was leaked to certain private groups a week or 2 ago...

GE (general availability) torrents have just surfaced and like you see have been downloaded like wildfire...

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, exactly what DA says, no one said it was a "proven" fake. Only that it was believed to be...7025 that is. Partially of the way the pictures were presented, blocking the watermark, not just saying "Build 7025" in the watermark. That could have easily been faked as to yet no one has it or can get it. With all the news that it was "leaked" and available was crap. No one said it was an absolute fake or that it doesn't exist somewhere. If you can prove without a doubt that you have 7025 which was what most of us were referring to then no one's looking a fool except one that believes everything he hears, and reads.

 

[hdjunkie]

A couple hours to go...I'll try it on my laptop first.

 

[TripOG]

from what i see airbot you call every version you dont have yet fake or photoshoped... thinking about it maybe it wasnt all you airbot you were just the last post i read with someone saying 7022 was fake then what do you know more members joke about it..
