Hiya!
IM just curious if anyone had tried out the new Windows 7 (beta) yet? If so what do you think about it so far? :)
For those who wounder where you can get it, it's available through MSDN and maybe Technet not sure
I haven't yet tried it but will as soon as i get my pc back :) Looks pretty amazing and ive heard they have reduced the startup time to about 15 seconds
-
i was going to get it but then dont you need to format your PC and install it?? if i can Dual boot with Windows 7 and XP il do that :razz:
but il looks hectic from what ive seen so far...
-
I think windows 7 is only available for developers.. If not, can someone give me a link?
-
Well thats true only for developers from what I know The public version will be released on 19th January or something.
But for those who has access to it give your opinion about it :) I would be glad to hear about it before i format :)
-
I got the pre-beta I think and it works fine for me. With Vista I had some problems running SA, but now it runs good. Also with starting programs I think it's fast. The only thing I got problems with is shutting off the computer after a program crashed.
-
I have got the developers version, didnt download it but up got it from Thailand ( :D )
Anyway, I havnt installed it yet but Im gonna make a partition on my HDD and install it there when I have the time.
-
lol there was a topic on the SA:MP forums about Windows 7. This pic was posted there :P
Take a look at the date :D
I also found some info on: www.windows7.com

-
Timemachine heh.
Miami, cay you please tell how i can use that "sidebar cpu usage" like you have, i think
there is a special download for that?
-
I have Windows 7, it runs a lot smoother than Windows Vista and has some cool new features.
-
Does it startup as fast as they say? Im gonna install it as soon as i get my pc back from HP which will be in another 8 days or so :)
They are gonna release some beta keys for those who havent a MSDN nor a Technet account tonight. So be alert only 2,5 million keys will be released
-
Starting up is faster then XP for me, but note that I don't have that much installed as I had on XP. I always use the sleepmode and that seems to be quicker too.
-
Aww dont you need a special screen for finger touch?
-
hmm i got xp now and hate what i hear about vista and love what i hear about 7 so ill get 7 when the original comes out i dont want a beta...
-
Downloading beta right now!
Gonna test it out tomorrow!
Btw, beta was officially published on 9th January, today!
I heard, that there is limit of downloading Windows 7: 2.5 millions of copys!
-
Where Janar??! I looked on the website and it says to check this afternoon..
-
Windows 7 Isn't really bad, My impression it goes faster than Vista, Sidebar is gone,
New Background and themes assignment and such..
Also very stable... I expected worse but in my opinion it's going good with Windows 7...
Keep in Mind that downloading windows 7 Is NOT allowed (so don't start posting links)
-
WHAT!? vista just comes out and they release another operating system...
so now they want vista gone and everyone on windows 7?

The public beta has NOT reached 2.5 million downloads. But so many people started downloading it that they took it down temporarily. Here is the official announcement from Microsoft I read.
"Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!"
If you look at the Windows 7 Team Blog: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/default.aspx
(The link took me about 5 minutes to load, probably because their servers are getting packed)
(Screenie Posted, See Below)

When I tried to click on the post link in the screenie for more information the first time I got a msg saying, "Server Too Busy" & second time it was taking a long time to load so I just closed it out

What Are You Talking About? :trust:
Why would Microsoft let out a download if it wasn't allowed? :roll:
Unless you are talking about a download from certain non-microsoft sites.
-
I'm looking forward to hear from u Clooak about new Windows :D
-
Well ive tried it out now abit and it looks pretty amazing best of all its stable as hell and fast Everything is running much smoother (than im used to)
I used a emulation software to test it though so i haven't tried everything fully.
Screenshots and stuff might come later (im reinstalling the Windows 7 at the moment with a unlimited key, so i don't have to reinstall it later on ;()

-

It downloaded fine for me.
I'm burning it to a disk atm and backing up some files to install Win7 to a separate disk so I can boot XP or 7 :P
EDIT: I finished burning it with Nero & when I insert it and autorun or manually run the setup.exe it gives me an error. I downloaded the 32bit version there.
-
The download works allright no worries. It must be something wrong with either your connection or something else.
Note that you shall install the updates provided somewhere on some page,
There was some problem with mp3 corruption which they have a fix for already.
Dunno if release comes with this fix, Can anyone confirm whether it is the one with a fix or not?

The mp3 fix doesn't come with it. I found it here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961367 (Download link is on the page)
It's not my connection, everything else works completely fine, I tired using:
Google Chrome = Bring me to page doesn't exist, and doesn't dl at all
Internet Exploer & Firefox = Downloads like 250mb then it the completed bar thing jumps to completed, it says it's copying. And it only downloaded 250mb or so but it says it's done...
It might be because of there servers, all the normal official pages (non-direct-link) say to wait for them to add more servers..
-
My dad's downloading using FF, it's downloaded 383mb so far with no issues at 100kb/s
-
Timemachine heh.
Miami, cay you please tell how i can use that "sidebar cpu usage" like you have, i think
there is a special download for that?
At the top of the Gadgets thing on the right, there is a + sign, click on that and it will bring a see through window, in the bottom right corner of that window there is 'get more gadgets online' or something similar.
Click on this then search in the box 'CPU' or whatever you want and you'll find it :)
-
ok so youre all using your standard downloaders with Firefox and IE...
Im downloading using a download manager which can boost the download speed and also make it possible to "Pause" and "Resume' the download and right now ive downloaded the whole 2.497Gb of the 32Bit.. and now im busy downloading the 64Bit aswell... ;)
The program ive used is a simple one called "Free Download Manager" and it works like a bomb..
EDIT: I thought you would need the WMP Updates so heres the links for the 32Bit Windows 7 and 64Bit Windows 7...
32bit WMP Update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a754008b-d574-4e39-b4ba-67b859a242b7&displaylang=en

I tried it downloading 2 times, first time downloaded 380MB, then it says done.
2nd time, downloaded 271MB, then it says done.
When i try to run it with Daemon Tools: "Corrupt file".
Gonna try out some Download Manager..
-
What i notice is that all who download without a Download Manager. your downloads never actually finish... like my downloads have gone all ther way to the end on the 32bit and the 64bit... like its gone to 2497Mb downloaded on the 32Bit and 3230Mb on the 64Bit... :trust:
-
New results: Free Download Manager downloaded only 489MB!!
What is problem?
I have downloaded over 5GB files from internet directly even without problems...
I use newest FireFox, Free Download Manager.
-
Erm is this the full version download for Windows 7? o_O
-
its the BETA version.. the full version is not out yet.. and if someone says it is.. either theyre on drugs or extemely ignorant...
-

Newarvuti i have same problem and we are both from estonia... if your using elion too then maybe its our provider problem?
-
Madboi_Seville, This version is a stable one thats why everyone is downloading. Microsoft made sure that it would work as good as possible before they released it
Free download manager can never boost your download thats just complete bullshit :) Unless they change some parameters (which you can do yourself)
Though the download managers out there might be good cus they can pause and resume, but I guess firefox can do that aswell?
I just tried the 86bits link and I could download at a speed of 1400 kB/s without any interuptions :)
-
so has your download actually worked now?? since the people from other places have problems with it... :rules:
-
Newarvuti i have same problem and we are both from estonia... if your using elion too then maybe its our provider problem?
You can call me "Janar"...

Known!
Maybe some router problem, cause my Buffalo shows something else as it should.
-
Damn, it looks even worse than Vista.

:wow: wwwwhhhhaaaaatttt????? are you mad??? Vista sux A$$ i had it for 9months then PC crashed :cry:

here you are right... MS's mission is give everybody a DVD-box with disc with Windows 7 Beta and license key :)
and really I found where keys are, but I cannot get them. Somebody said that if you would refresh this page for 30 minutes, server would give you Key.
1. Go to TechNet Main Page and click "Log In" (right top corner)
2. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033 to get 64-bit (x64) key
or to https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033 to get 32-bit (x86) key.
You'll be redirected to page named "7 Beta 32-bit" or "7 Beta 64-bit". You'll see error there, but somebody say if you'd refresh this page for 30 minutes, you'll get this Key.
Good luck! and have fun experimenting!
-
i got the product key but i cant start downloading :(
-
Windows 7 consist both of. Xp and Vista.
So i think this is the best one right now .
-
:hit: how did you get a key?? :wow:
i need 1 :help:
-
As i already posted MadBoi you get your key via the following links....

Servers are up and can be downloaded now directly!
I got it downloaded and i have key too.
Now i need to free up some disc space, then make new partition and then install it.
-
im taking the easy was to dual boot :roll:
going to buy a new hard drive :razz:
-
Yes it works to download perfectly
Good luck! and have fun experimenting!
i got it but now im scared to install it... maybe it will screw my PC up
I gonna install 64 bit now cus 32 bit idk i dont want it xD
-
It works now and i'm downloading it via the official pages.
It probably wasn't working correctly yesterday because we weren't supposed to be able to even download it when they closed it down...
Also, it wouldn't be the web browsers fault. If anything a download manager might make it worse. And also, why would Microsoft release something that is hard to even download on I.E? :P
I'm downloading it now with no problems from Microsoft.
-
I downloaded Windows 7 from microsoft.com without any problems, speed was great.
Used download manager, but there was one problem: I couldn't start download with FF, i used IE7 and worked.
Now i will get Partition Magic 8.0 from my friend, make new partition and install it.
Of course, i won't forget backing up my own files!

Windows 7 Is Awesome!!!@#$% :D :D

Haha oh wow.
I spent 5 hours trying to find a partition program. I partitioned 26gb for Windows 7. I installed it. I can now dual-boot onto either one.
I only have one thing to say...
Shittest OS ever.
Screen resolution won't change
Can't use Chrome
MSN won't work
G15 Keyboard wasn't working (fixed)
SAMP won't work
Windows Media Player is all messed up.
The "Superbar" thing is stupid, it won't let me change some things
Ugh, overall horrible. Once they fix it up a bit (A LOT), i'll boot windows 7 again, but until then.. :mad:
-
I may give it a try on a dual-boot with another hard drive...
-
I installed Windows 7.
Design cool, no problems, except i need drivers for my wireless adapter.
DualBoot works fine, can use both Windows.
-
And a little note :
Don't see Windows 7 as a goodie, You also have to install drivers and configure it as any other windows,
Think twice before install.

I know, nVidia drivers location i know.
I have had same problems, when i installed Ubunty Linux.
-
Friend says it has the same bugs as Vista did, although it's only beta.
-
Install drivers? Just run Windows update and almost all drivers will be installed. The only driver I had to download was for my built-in webcam, I used a Vista driver and it works fine.
-
I got original XP drivers working on Windows 7 and internet is working!
Now gonna test out if SA:MP working...

I assume you haven't even installed the latest patch? or else your doing something wrong
Do you actually believe that msn wont work? HAHA! "Screen resolution won't change" What about you try go and changing it? I doubt anything will happen by automatic(kidding)
What kind of resolution are you trying to use?
It's not a shitty OS it's fast as hell and everything runs smooth. Well done Microsoft!
I can't say anything negative about it
-
Screen resolution can be changed.
Haven't tested Chrome.
MSN works!
Haven't tested SAMP.
WMP works, not messed up!
Superbar? Haven't tested..
-
SA:MP works too, only when shutting down it gives an error (like we had before)
I'm really happy now, I got an official beta key now. So I'm gonna download the beta and install this one instead of the pre beta version.

I've had Vista for 6 months now. Never experienced any kind of BUG. And the only "negative thing Vista did for me" was not letting me play my 1996 games. CUZ DEY 2 OLD FO ITZ YO. No glitches, no bugs. Just some compability problems. With games older than me.
I'm gonna dl Windows 7 beta sometime in the week I think. After I'm finished with some late school work

It's called a Beta.
Haven't tried it yet personally, but am willing to do so in nearest future. And what I've read from users who actually know something about computers, Windows 7 sure does sound very promising. :)

I don't know, just saying what he told me. I don't use vista nor do I intend to use vista, I'll stay with XP untill something just as stable comes out.
-
If you believe peolpe saying Windows 7 isnt stable... you are really mad then.. Windows 7 could possibly be more stabel than even XP was... and you can do more on Windows 7 than you could on XP or Vista together

So you're basically saying Vista isn't stable then? Hahaha...wow...

ALL of those work PERFECT for me (I don't have a G15 Keyboard though)
I have SAMP working, MSN Working, WMP works fine, Google Chrome works fine.
I really have NO idea what your talking about lol..
P.S - Windows 7 is Awesome. I love it I don't even want to go back to my XP lol
-
alot depends of your computer hardware,
AND keep in mind..
This is still a beta..
-
Mostly only heard good stuff about it, but what about all my XP drivers ?
-
Some XP drivers / Vista drivers stil work on Windows 7.. otherwise Windows should be able to get generic drivers which will operate well...

:rofl: im stil confused.. only Giac has a problem... everyone else can work fine with Windows 7 :lame:
The problem is some people are like :IQ: when it comes to computers ;)...
:out:

And what I've read from users who actually know something about computers, Windows 7 sure does sound very promising. :)

Where can I get this for free, if I can and would there be a way for me not to lose all my information?
-
Mr. Hilarious insulter
Haha, did you seriously expect it to work like a charm right away?
If you are too stubborn to understand what the word "Beta" means and that it might require you to sacrifice some time to examine and solve the possible problems, I would suggest you to not take part to the Windows 7 Beta testing, since the real problem most likely is between the chair and the computer.
As your Beta experience was obviously enough for you to be able to judge Windows 7 as the "Shittest OS ever.", better make sure you won't ever have it in any of your computers. ;)
The official public Beta is available from Microsoft until 24/01/2009. The original 2.5 million key limitation is no longer valid.
Check this link for the download and Beta product keys:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx)
:ps: I strongly recommend the 64-bit edition if your processor has support for 64-bit.

Does Core 2 Duo work 64-bit?
-
Does Core 2 Duo work 64-bit?
Yes. You can find 64-bit support on:
AMD: Athlon 64, Opteron, Sempron, Turion 64 and Phenom processors
Intel: Newer Celeron, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Xeon, Core 2, and Core i7 processors
If you have an older Celeron or Pentium 4 processor (like I do), it might not have 64-bit support and therefore the 32-bit version of Windows 7 is unfortunately left as your only option.
-
Erm, i dont like it that much :( i want 8.0 again

Is it easy to switch from 32-bit version to 64-bit version, without problems?
Is it possible so i don't lose my files?

It is not possible to update your Windows from 32-bit to a 64-bit one and vice versa. You need to install Windows again, but of course you can install it on another partition so that your old files won't get lost.
But if I were you, I would back my files up on on a USB-memory stick or external hard drive, reformat the whole hard drive and install Windows on a clean hard drive.

It didint let me boot DVD on 64 bit....

If you believe peolpe saying Windows 7 isnt stable... you are really mad then.. Windows 7 could possibly be more stabel than even XP was... and you can do more on Windows 7 than you could on XP or Vista together
Windows 7 is still on beta, meaning it's not even officially out, hence you can't call it stable, yet.
When Windows 7 comes out "for real" I don't see a problem in getting it.

Did anyone get CS working on windows 07?

You cannot upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
Top upgrade, you need Vista SP1, else you need to install it to other partition or format your HDD.
Damn, Windows 7 rocks lot!
Now i got access to Windows XP drive, i don't wanna return to XP anymore...
-
Does someone check, that other programs, games work's w/o problems? When requirements says XP or Vista?

I would reccomend you buy a new PC when Windows 7 fully comes out, with Win 7 Pre-Installed, I'm going to do it.
Also understand that Windows 7 Beta wasen't made to test games, So if games don't work, don't worry, they will properly fix it all in the full release.
I have installed Windows 7 on Virtual PC, its alright, but lags a bit since I only have 1GB of ram, but otherwise, Its looks nice.

I want to install windows 7, I want to know how and what I need.
I only have one Harddrive and Windows Vista SP1 is installed on it. I would like to take off 50gb of the HDD and use it for windows 7, how do I do that?
And how do I do dual boot?
Is the beta forever free? Or only free till the real version is out?

demmit ... Vista sucks
Don't bash an OS you don't even own. It does not suck. I own both XP and Vista, and run both on my computer and my mom's. Vista is awesome. You may not like it because of some issues that are constantly being fixed by Microsoft, but get over it. XP had the same problems when it first came out and now it's just about the most stable OS on the planet.
And to make you look more ridiculous in that basher comment, just to let you know, Windows 7 is an upgraded version of Windows Vista. It is not another rewrite like Vista. It's actually just a visual upgrade of the Vista core with a few tweaks and added features.

Windows 7 BETA key expires on 1st August 2009, after that stop using Win7Beta or buy more(not sure).
Use some boot CD, Ubuntu Linux for example, to make new partition.
Dual-boot is easy, just install Windows 7 to other partition, system is smart and let's you to select between OS(es).
-
Hmm where do you get this beta key? :)
-
From Microsoft when you go to download it from their site?
-
Well... I used the direct download link, I dont know where the cd key is .. I tried searching it on microsoft but couldnt find the webpage for the windows 7 download so..
Can you give me a link please?
-
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ -> Try The Beta.

That stuff SUCKS... My brother ping was 10 while mine was 89 while playing CS... i got XP back and im happy
-
You think it would affect the ping? Lol? maybe uve got some unsupported drivers? else I doubt it affects your ping, just because of the OS
-
@seskom: Please read Clooak's message. He is absolutely correct.
Once again, quit OS bashing people! Comments, discussions, opinions, and debates are okay, but when you go and say something sucks just because it didn't work out for YOU the way YOU wanted it to, that's just too much...
