Profisound Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 MP3 Problem solved! :) To protect your MP3 files 1. Before you install this Beta release, back up all MP3 files that might be accessed by the computer, including those on removable media or network shares. 2. Install the Beta release of Windows 7; download and install the Update to Windows 7 Beta (KB961367) located on this page. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscripti....aspx?pv=36:350 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/26/#findComment-590381694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinul Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Okay, why the Chinese Technet? I would assume that the United States Technet already has Windows 7 unless they've planned to have the Chinese be the first peope able to obtain a copy. Anyways, I would again assume that only the people are subscriber's to Microsoft Technet (A program for IT Professionals), and Microsoft MSDN (A program for Microsoft Developers). They pay for this kind of previlages, and Microsoft want valuable feedback. If I was developing such a huge project for many people around the world I would not accept any feedback consisting "I wub Windows Seven!!!W". Now if they do allow the public, and I mean the general public to receive the copy legally then I would advise to use your time, and give them your own experience with it. They don't need your system specifications as they receive a lot of details of your system through their program you send your feedback with. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/26/#findComment-590381732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The new Internet Explorer, can translate text pretty fast. Neat. Hopefully that gets out of beta soon. Are there any new info what it takes to run 7 nicely? Apparently it's to use less stuff then vista, but I wanna know what it will run on smoothly. I have P4 @ 3.0ghz, 2gig ram, and an 8400gs, anyone have any experience with speed wise?

Inctye Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 W00t??? But he probably will spend a lot of time showing Windows 7. The OS is now "feature complete" and a new beta will be available for the general public to try out on Friday. Microsoft will cap the beta after about the first 2.5 million downloads. Microsoft developers, including MSDN, TechNet and TechBeta subscribers, will be able to download the beta Wednesday night, two days earlier than the general public, Beilinson said.The minimum recommended hardware for the beta includes a 1GHz processor, 1GB of system memory, 16GB of available disk space and support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (to enable the Aero theme), Microsoft said. The recommendations may change for the final product, it said. Microsoft isn't updating its official ship date for Windows 7, which is still early 2010, though some pundits expect it to ship in time for the busy back to school season later this year. SourceDoes that number mean total number of downloads including subscribers who have access to it now, or just downloads after its open to the public? And wtf at Tripod singing horribly during the keynote.
