7201 - Those running it, what's new?

[tw33k]

i read this in an NFO...

Microsoft Windows 7 7201 Change log:
1. You can now add anything to the Taskbar.
2. Icons slightly expand when you hover over them on the taskbar.
3. The System menu is more simplistic, and easier to navigate.
4. You can change the login screen picture through the Personalization menu.
5. The menu/lists that pop up when you right click on things now have the Aero Glass effect.
6. The default icons for Folders have changed to be the transparent blue ones featured a long time ago.
7. The Minimize/Maximize/Exit buttons on the top-right of a window have changed icons, and are a bit smaller than the Vista/7 counterparts.
8. There’s an “Upload” feature for Pictures, files, and videos. If you right-click a file, and click Upload, you can make it automatically upload to a website of your choice. After uploading, a pop-up will appear saying it’s done, and clicking OK will cause the link/download link to the file to appear in the popup box.
9. Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese unicode(s) and settings are integrated, so one can run foreign apps or use foreign keyboards without changing languages & restarting.
10. Bug fixes and more stability

that is a fake changelog!

Since 7201 Daemon tools is causing problems again for me. Someone else made this experience? :sarc:

 

[Avien]

Was he stating the changelog was real, or he was simply saying what is in the new build using that fake changelog as a check list? I wish MS would tell us what all has changed through the build process. At least from RC to RTM.

LMFAO. what anti-virus do you use on your lab rat pc?

I use a lot of them for testing, I'll put McAfee on, Norton (yuck), OneCare, Kaspersky and then Eset 4.1 x64.

This old machine has a 3.5" floppy and I've kept a pile of old disks that I used to collect viruses on. I put 20-30 on a disk and let them fight it out. I popped it into that Win7 machine and the drive grinds for about an hour. Great fun.

The rig is used as a honeypot, I disable the firewall and wait to see how long it takes to get infected. It's just a hobby of mine...

I've just checked it but the rs links don't work! Only for me?

That's why I typed the word "soon", because it's not released yet.

Try Power ISO it works flawless for me and no need for Dameon Tools for 99% of us.

Hey Captain Zero in your opinion since your the Antivirus pro here. What the best for Windows 7 7201 X64 protection without bogging down the OS?

 

[flibblesan]

I use Eset NOD32 4 on Windows 7. It's the only anti virus I have used that doesn't bog the system down.

Avast! uses virtually nothing too

Half the size of NOD32 memory usage, lol.

Ah well. I like it, and I paid for it. Might as well use it.

And why not If you like, stick with it, that's what I always say

 

[flibblesan]

Yeh, thats a reason I still run Windows 7. I like it. Now I'm just waiting for 7201 to break.. which it hasn't so far.

 

[Itsdon]

+1 for Avast 64

Also, Virtual Clone Drive from Slysoft works awesome with Win7 for mounting ISO files, plus, free is good!

I've noticed better memory usage in 7201 as i've normally got no memory left of my 768MB

I have noticed that also, but I'm crazy (or stupid, whatever you choose) to run 7201 as my main OS on my only PC.

7201-64bit works fine except microsoft's keyboard driver (win 7 beta) is not compatible with it. The keyboard driver works fine on 7100 and 7137.
