Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100)
 

anyone tried this out yet.. set for release from MS on the 5th but its been on torrents for a few days now..

i had tried out one of the early alpha versions and it ran pretty good for me (but then again i never once really had any issues when i used vista either)


got it burning to a dvd right now and ive been craving getting back onto a x64 OS for a while now and the x64 XP just fucking blows ass (being able to use all my ram would be a huge plus for the MySQL server i run for the stats lol)

ahh it appears i hosed my install already lol...

cant open the control panel (except i found a round about way to open it, but then none of the items in it will open themselves) nor can i open windows update as well as a few other things lol...


not sure if it was some service i disabled or the gay shit i had to install to get HLSW to work (of which i cant try uninstalling cause i cant get to the uninstall shit)


lol fun stuff

This a beta or?

more or less.. yes but its labeled RC1 instead of beta now (and it can be publically downloaded and used for a year i believe)

Ahh, thanks for the info. I havnt heard anything about this but I think i'll try putting it on my spare HD this weekend.

I'm running a dual boot with xp and xubuntu for the hell of it. Not too impressed with xubuntu. Yeah it's fast, but it sucks trying to do any gaming with linux.

ok so far so good now (after 4 reinstalls lol)

figured out the problem i had, it was with directory opus (my win explorer replacement i use) ..had to set it to not automatically replace explorer on its own, kinda sucks lol but better then nothing


and also had trouble with the nforce chipset drivers, only 2 out of like 8 or 9 of them would install, but ran it in vista sp2 compatibility mode and they all seemed to install and work now :)

nice.
I had an early beta on my laptop. It ran great. May 5th's the big day. I'll probably switch shortly after.

bahaha, I got it in my MSDN bitches.

heres a little app that will remove the watermark off the desktop in 7100


not sure if it works in 7127 as i havent updated to that just yet (tho i plan on it sometime over the next few days...)

heres a little tool to increase the half-open limit

Just installed Windows 7, looks real nice so far.

I like the fact that a majority of my drivers were installed and ready to go.

i just installed build 7137 last night (and again today thanks to forgetting to disable the auto update check in dopus)


kinda wish i had looked online today.. would have seen that 7201 was leaked today lol, ill probably skip that (like i did with 7127) and wait for the next one unless i get super bored... its not really a bitch to reinstall.. got backups of everything i need to install and whatnot so its a breeze to get back up and running..

the builds won't just upgrade?

well yeah you can just do the upgrade.. but ive read about it screwing some shit up (mainly drivers and or some installed programs)

i guess im in the grouping of ppl that opt for a fresh install over an OS upgrade...

I guess the fact that I don't have to go searching for drivers for every single device plugged into my comp, makes Windows 7 easier to just do a fresh install.

has anyone seen a torrent for 7261 (x64)??


i found one for 7260 but since 7261 was leaked a couple hrs after it im guessing there musta been something wrong with it if there was another one leaked so soon afterwards and with only one number increment

wheeww the official RTM is out (7600.16385)

:D
