Which Build is the best so far?

[Xplay321]

Which Windows 7 Build do you think is the best so far? Or which one did you have the least trouble with?

Personally, I think Build 7057 is the best one. It's much faster than Build 7000.

Hello Xplay,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

I have mostly gone back to 7000. Had tooo many problems with 7057 although I still mess with it once in awhile. Looking forward to the RC.

For me build 7057 x86. Stable and fast.

 

[darkassain]

personally it depends on what software or hardware you choose...
i have had a desktop (vhd 7057) and a tablet with 7057/vista and a server with triple booting (thank god for vhd booting takes the fear away for partitioning in the middle of the night...lol )
with 7000 (vhd) win serv 2008 R2 (vhd) and windows server 2008....
this one did not like 7057 32 or 64....
so it may depend...

7048 for me hands down, but i have to give 7057 is the fastest by far, but 7048 is the best.

7048 for me hands down, but i have to give 7057 is the fastest by far, but 7048 is the best.

i still say 6801 is the most compatible (well its old but i fell in love with its 3 sec standby and nearly instantaneous turn-on (no pun intended) which made me laugh at the hyperspace....
but 7057 is getting there (currently its a 6 sec stand-by and 3-sec bring-up but its better than what 7000 brought which was 30 sec standby (if it did standby...) and 15 sec boot-up (if the usb driver did not crash...:sarc well that was for the tablet pc and it did not apply to the others... (which is weird..) which is why i said it depends on the hardware and software...

and yeah 7048 was to next most compatible to 6801 to me...

7057 x64 here by farrrrrrrrrrr. only trouble ive had is a wreird problem not wanting to log off every now and then. Also, new themes are quite win

 

[smarteyeball]

i still say 6801 is the most compatible

I still have a soft spot for 6801

For me its gonna have to be 7048, although 7057 is working great on my laptop, its not on my pc and 7048 (and all other builds) worked fine on both machines.

For me at the moment it's 7057 x64. No problems so far, running all games (including ones that Vista didn't like!). The only thing is that because of the funny 'birdy' login screen and the desktop.ini issue, always makes me think that there might be something else that's not quite right, but I just haven't found it yet! Probably a self-destruct thing somewhere that wipes your hard drives or something! LOL.

The only reason I prefer to run this over 7048 is that the expiry on this is March next year. I know you can get cracks or whatever, but I don't want to mess with them. After all, I want to be testing these builds as they are given (or leaked) to us from Microsoft. That way I can moan if something goes wrong!

REALLY looking forward to release day, I'll feel proper chuffed then! (I hope!)

 

[wysiwyg]

7048 for me, while 7057 may be a little faster (?) several glitches reported, makes me wary, will stay with a well proven issue, until such time as official next move.

I say "If it ain't broke...etc"

 

[SoLoR]

7057 have 2 bugs that bug me a lot (UL glitch with certain sliders if you are using wddm 1.0 drivers, and audiodg.exe leakes memory when using mic on x-fi), but im still using it however 7048 was generaly better for me.

I would have to say 7048 x64 was the snappiest - 7057 x64 is running fine except for a few minor issues but not enough to go back. This is an update so I think It would be OK if I did a fresh install but as this is my Upgrade OS Set want to keep it as is. Was a lot more disk intensive when first installed but settled down nicely now

 

[swarfega]

7057 64-bit for me. Its the build Ive had the least amount of issues with and its fast and stable.

 

[Romulinx2]

7057 x64 has been the best by a large margin. No problems, very fast. Very happy.

 

[ibocpro]

With most here, 7057 x64.

I have a few issues that I am trying to iron out that I had working in 7000, but even with 7000 it took a while to get them working so no real downgrade here.

Overall 7057 is good, quick, and I like the new stuff. Do really like the extra time before expries.

Cheers.

 

[Xplay321]

Just so you guys know, When you look at the terms on 7057, it says that it's Release Candidate 1.

 

[RST101]

7057 x64 gets the thumbs up from me, although 7000 is in with a shout. 7057 is quicker and obviously has more in it and to tell you the truth I would buy this now as it is because I dont (touch wood) have any issues with it. In fact it is my primary os and although I have 7057 x86 on another partition I never boot it up. 7022 and 7048 were to buggy for my liking and am sorry to have dealt with them. People (in my opinion) create there own problems when we hear them complaining about said os. 7057 x64 is rockin for me!!!

 

[stashek]

No doubt its 7048

 

[scrooge]

other then one problem with clicking on start menu computer and getting just a blank screen 7057 seem to be the best ( asside from wmc) that thay seem to have craped out on. before every time that blank screen would come up the only way i could view
my drives was to reboot and it would work again. then i opened the task manger and found that if i end task on (dllhost.exe ( com surrogate) ) it resets the screen and i don't have to reboot. anyone no what that file dose and why it stops the screen from comming up?
thanks scrooge
