Windows 7 build (7068)

[Lino]

Well after a lot of debating, users who thought that 7057 would be the RC and I kept on arguing it was not.

The official RC is not out yet, (at least the publics release) however another build is out.

7068 In both 32bit and 64bit editions. I shall be getting a hold of it and posting details.

Have you tried it yet?

You know what changes there is between 7057 and 7068?

From what was said on Friday @ TechDays, 7068 is the lst build, so if you have 7068, you have the very latest fixes available. Infact. If I'm not mistaken, 7068 is Fridays build...

They are pushing out the various builds quite rapidly. 7072 is the latest one now.

No point in trying to download any of these as the feature list has been finalized.

That's it, I am waiting for Escrow RC1 before I even install another version of 7.

I have 7048 and i am not downloading another one until the RC, i am not wasting 12gb of bandwidth a months on font changes and colour changes

Pc direct windows 7 is faster than windows xp so it may perform rather well on that older laptop.

Were can I get the latest build locally? Is it actually worth installing though? When does it expire?

 

[killadoob]

No point getting the latest build i you have one of the other ones .

Hi guys

Hey doesnt microsoft have a local mirror where u can do a direct download?

 

[killadoob]

Not with these latest builds.

I've downloaded the x64 version. It's pretty nice

There are no big changes anymore, but performance is being tweaked all the time and bugs being fixed, so there can be a reason to upgrade.

And they're basically on a new build number every day, it doesn't mean anything unless they leak.
