-Nic- Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hm, I could live with that until WLM gets fixed in Win7. Thanks for that Brandon, you're the man! :D I honestly see no reason to go back to Vista now. Every single major application I use on a daily basis works on this, and it really does feel faster. Unless I suddenly start getting BSOD's, this is definitely the OS to be running.

0sit0 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I like where Win7 is going, sadly is not faster on my laptop. It feels a little laggy, but it could be drivers related. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/714032-windows-7-build-7000-beta-1-qna/page/11/#findComment-590325120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrOmango Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Most likely our disk has exceptionally bad random access performance, and will introduce noticeable hangs as you use your computer. that's what causes it to be limited to a 3.0 (bad) or 2.0 (extremely bad) rating.The idea is to inform users which components are holding their systems back. In your case, it's your hard drive. ive noticed that theres no "advanced performance" option and it was available on vista. did not make a difference but..... Im running 2X Fujitsu 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 4200 rpm drives... Does anyone have bad disk performance rating?

Lewkwarm Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Does anyone else have an issue with the video library in WMP in this build? It keeps showing that I have no videos, but I have the folders pointed to the correct location. This only happens with videos, music and picture library work as expected. Aside from that, I'm loving this build.

Aside from that, I'm loving this build. I had that problem with my music. Open up the folder in question in explorer, then click the button to get access to it. Then remove and add it to your WMP library. With previous builds though it messed up my permissions in Vista.

penta_a Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Microsoft decided to not mark builds clearly. Have you seen any Alpha markers or anything? No. Paul Thurrott names build 7000 as Beta 1, so I think we can say it IS beta 1. I thought there will be BETA and RC, (no Beta 1, 2 and so on.....) am i correct??, is this build labeled BETA or Beta 1??? just asking to make sure that there aren't much betas in they way to final (shorting final release time if you know what I mean?). thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/714032-windows-7-build-7000-beta-1-qna/page/11/#findComment-590325176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 w00t! I'm now part of the Win7 club :)What's the best driver to use for a GeForce 8400M GT ? Downloading 179.28 for Vista 32bit now. EDIT: The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit. :'( Stick with the built in ones as they are designed for WDDM 1.1, Whereas Windows Vista drivers are 1.0 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/714032-windows-7-build-7000-beta-1-qna/page/11/#findComment-590325178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoyoS Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Just did a fresh install of vista and decided to take the plunge and install Windows 7 as well. Vista took up 700mb of ram on bootup were as 7 only took 400mb. Really amazing work they on optimization.

Examinus Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm quite pleased with my rating results, however I get a 5.3 for gaming graphics and only 4.0 for Aero. I wonder why they are so far apart? I would have thought gaming was much more intense than Aero?
