Win 7 - build 7022 has been leaked!

[Chappy]

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...

Yep...the Old Homestead Ant Farm, and it is a Sweet Deal!

I would be shocked actually, if MS makes Win8 (or whatever they call it) in a 32bit version, unless it's in a very limited edition for special circumstances and not publicly available. Somehting like our Fire Dispatch Mangmt system which runs completely sandboxed from the world and is not expected to be written for 64bit code until 2012. (too complex and too expensive). It's run on dedicated XP Pro boxes now but if the City were to want to upgrade these machines and their underlying OS, they would have to be 32bit. MS would have to have allot of customers in this same boat before they'd do it, but I could envision such a scenario.

They were so set on this OS release being 64bit only that I can't see them making such concessions again. Too much overhead in the engineering aspect as well as resources to have a 32bit layer for compatibility, it's so much easier & cheaper to just force the 64bit switch along as quickly as possible and I can't see MS holding out after W7.

These versions may or may not exist, but if they do I will wait until Microsoft decides to release them through the official channels as I am certainly not going to download them from an unofficial source, and certainly not from a torrent site. I am not sure that they will, though. I think that the next official release will be a Release Candidate.

Who cares about other versions. Let's talk about b7022! What's new different in it? I've noticed a couple small changes so far...

@TripOG,

See what you want, I don't think I ever said anywhere that 7025 was a "proved fake." I did say a few weeks back that it was believed fake, and not just by me. And I never said 7022 was fake either. Saying something is believed to be fake, and that it is completely fake are two different things.

You didn't see me running around saying "this is a total fake.'' Like I said, I don't believe everything I see or read at face value and that is not a foolish way of looking at things. What gets me is that something like this can blow up on the news by only one chinese website posting pics of it and everyone saying, "It's Leaked, It's Leaked" when no one has it or can get it yet. I would not say Oh, it's totally real.

I can photoshop some pics to say I have build 7085 and post them somewhere saying I have it. Would you just take it and believe it? That's my point.

7022 isn't even a big deal anymore.

7032 is already in the hands of a lot of people, but obviously not leaked yet. Would cost me $10 to get it though (shipping) and I am not sure of the advantages over 7022 yet.

 

[napilopez]

Gah, I think for the first time I will refrain from getting new builds, and will just wait till RC. I like how they are trying to keep the design more consistent, even if I'm not always the biggest fan of all the light colors schemes. Oh well, thats what skins are for =]

 

[ve2007]

Does anyone know when the 64bit is coming out?

 

[Anthony]

Iam going to throw 7022 on to my laptop, brb

 

[ve2007]

Is 7022 a 32bit?

 

[Anthony]

Is 7022 a 32bit?

Yes, i have not seen a 64bit.iso, yet.

 

[ve2007]

Yes, i have not seen a 64bit.iso, yet.

Thanks Mate I'll wait for it to come out?

 

[Anthony]

Just installed 7022, Playtime....

 

[djhallucn8]

I'm downloading it now.

 

[win7]

There are x64 links posted on some sites.... look harder. LOL

Things i have noticed:
1. the mp3 bug patch is already present
2. the clock gadget is now oversized!! ewww
3. the gadget menu looks different
4. the themes have slightly changed (well the uk one for sure)
5. start menu search does seem faster not sure if itsa cos of a lack of apps on new install
6. IE RC1 obviously
7. Few graphical tweaks

 

[smoaky]

Really worth it??

Running Build 7000 32 bit with super results.
Is there a really good reason to try build 7022 other than satisfying peoples curiosity?
I.E. anything worth looking at or trying in this build?
Best to just wait for the RC?
Everyone's thoughts please
Cheers

BSOD during "Completing Installation". This can't be good...

"The Installation was not successful. Changes made during the installation are being undone."
I know it's the damn video card (radeon hd 4850). It's been the only thing giving be bsod in win7.

Some file atisysmag or something like that...

Wow, it happened again. Wtf? Looks like I'll be staying on b7000 on my mediacenter pc. It installed fine on my other two pcs.

Ok, I took the video card out went to the one that came with the pc (radeon hd 3870). Somehow I have a feeling this will work.

 

[hdjunkie]

Yep, it was the video card. Installation went w/o a hitch with the 3870. Once I get it installed I'm going to re-install the 4850 and see what happens.

Funny pattern happening here.:shock:
I personally experienced a totally black screen after install of B7000 and found out you had to hit F8 and boot with minimum screen resolution, then change resolution after install. Afterward Windows update did detect and update for my video card and it fixed the prob.
I realize this is beta but ya think this particular glitch should have been corrected before Beta release.

 

[TripOG]

theres also a few changes to WMP, it has stream now instead of the sharing options. thats the only one i have noticed but there could be more or less.

Yeah, it's working now. I installed the 4850 after installation completed and everything appeared to be fine until the screen went black. I restarted a couple times and finally went to put the 3870 back in when I noticed how hot the video card was.
I left an sata cable too close to the fan and it stop it from working. I let it cool down, restarted and now everything seems fine.
Everything is fine except for all of the tweaking/installing I have to do to get it back to where I was on b7000...
