Installed latest 7048 x64 build seems much faster on desktop than the 7000 beta. Also games seem to fly now crysis warhead seems to run even better than it did on xp x64 or vista x64. Anybody else gettin better gaming performance in this build over the previous builds and vista etc?
Here are some things i have personaly noticed in Windows 7 build 7048 x86, compared to Windows 7 build 7022 x86.
1. New brighter start orb
2. My radeon 9600 Series driver is now included and no longer pre-release.
3. There are new compatability modes includiong vista service pack 2
4....
I have confirmed with a Microsoft employee that build 7048 does not yet exist, and that development on the RC branch has not yet started. Speculation on a new build keeps mounting as testers still have not received anything beyond build 7000. The original story is below.
