Gaming Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) out now

[da_head]

I'm really surprised at how good it runs, it runs faster than my old XP did.

It's pretty shocking... I hope it isn't too much when it comes out in stores this January!

wtf?! it's comin out next month? i thought that was just a public beta or something

It will be released mid/end 2009 AFAIK.

I got this yesterday

Came out 2 days after I downloaded 6956.
Installed it in a virtual machine to test it out

Anyone know if the new build will work if I have an older build? Does it just update it or something? D:

When you install there's an option to Upgrade.

Can you tell me your PC's specs? And is it working well on VM? Well i would like to use this as primary OS but for playing around I gues I could install it on VM.

Tested yesterday by someone on an AMD Athlon 3500+ system. Worked fairly well was able to run RA3 pretty smoothly aswel as TMNF and UT2K4. Indeed likening to the speed of XP so to speak. Installed nothing else beside LAN, video (7900GT), audio (all with Vista drivers) and games (was on a lan party). All in all I'd even consider making the switch now

It's a Mac

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM

You could always try to run it on a VM, download the trial of VMWare (Parallels Desktop doesn't work with 7 with my tests and freezes at setup) and install it.

Folks: What did you do when it comes to entering a key? I got told to just press Next and not enter anything......

Thanks for the help, I'm going to grab it soon. All the torrents i try are slow because of the huge amount of leechers...errr leeching off it.

So you had to manually install the video, audio and LAN driver?
Man its such a pain looking for my drivers..

Prime: There's a crack going around, it's on torrent sites already, skip the serial key, and use it, but make sure to run as administrator, not just double click, or just open, safe mode or admin, barely figured that out and got rid of the water mark too.

Kamui: Couldn't you just use updates to find all the drivers, Iwas kinda unhappy too when the sound wouldnt work, but now it works.

It's probably my computer, but why is the task bar big?

EDIT: Is it because my laptop sucks and can't run it fully?

(FUCK, it shut off on me! Crappy old averatec laptop! Does anyone know where to find those 3 programs that helped cool it down? I had them, but upgrading to 7 it didn't keep. Lucky me, all text I typed didn't go away.

)

That's the regular Windows 7 Taskbar lol
Yeah it's weird (imo)

The taskbar is supposed to be that big in Windows 7, so it's not caused by your laptop.

Oh, I thought I saw it look like Vista once.
Also, is that window preview function in it still? Like when you go to the taskbar and hover over an icon, isn't it supposed to show?

 

[da_head]

i personally think its kinda fugly, and i don't like that it's see through

 

[Ferrariman]

I'm gonna wait for the retail version.

Sorry, but all deaths are done by a death god in the series, so it doesn't matter.
