Which build was a step backward from the previous?

[andythecurefan]

My question to all you out there is: which new build seemed to be a step backwards from the previous build and why?

Poll included.

I think 7057 was pretty lame for adding this new logon screen, but that's just UI and cosmetics, I think every build has had significant improvements on the others.

There's been so many it is hard to remember, but I do remember that when the 7100
was officially released, I was very disapointed, because I thought that the 7077 build that I had been using was far better in a lot of ways at the time.

the chinese-only version for sure

i could read none of it

lol

I voted 7022 because Readyboost was stripped out of that one. All of them have been great here, otherwise. Seems like steady improvement too.

It would have to be the Chinese 7106 as this was an actual step back from the 7077 build that was current at that time - being the equivalent of the 7076 build

It was also pretty badly hacked about, so was not a safe build to even download

7022 for me felt worse than build 7000 did and as torrentg said the readyboost was stripped out.

7057 cause it killed networking.

every new build have new perks. but in general i think each new build was also improvment over old one (except maybe 7137, but cant really tell after few hours of using it).

another vote for 7106, everything about that "leak" seemed wrong.

I voted 7077. This released introduced a weird kernel error that would BSOD and reboot my system. The error was Kernel-Power Event ID 41, which had something to do with the sleep/hibernate functions.

+1 - totally agree

I haven't tried all of the builds, but in 7000 my laser printer, which is not supported in x64 past XP, installed automatically. Before that I had to mess with it to get it working. Then with 7068 the auto install stopped and back to having to do it myself. This continues with 7100. Just about to try 7137 and see what happens. Other than that they seem the same or better as time goes on.

x86 6956 was a complete bag of excrement, its the only x86 revision i downloaded & it turned my machine upside down, i reinstalled it & still it gave me ...BSODs, lock ups, GUI errors & the most sluggish response ive ever had from ANY OS.


that was more than a step back..... it was a leap , but thankfully it was an anomaly & every x64 build since has continued to impress.
