Windows 7 Build 7068

Has been out for nearly 48 hours on the bittorrent sites. I've been running the 32 bit version for 24 hours.

I upgraded from build 7057 which I only installed a week ago.

All builds use the keys supplied by Microsoft with build 7000.

What's the expiry date?

Cheers

Sweet.

eta: 64bit is on usenet, not sure if it's genuine tho.

Anyone figured out how to disable 'drag to edge of screen to maximize' feature? I keep pushing media player to the edge and it freezes the comp. V annoying.

have you checked in folder options? (i don't know, just thats where I would first look)

Downloading the 64-bit edition at the moment. Was gonna wait for the RC but i just can't do it anymore!

"Just go to control panel/ease of access/make keyboard easier to use and tick the box for prevent windows being automatically arranged when moved to edge of the screen."
the new build on on DVD now...so off I go

Excellent, thanks. No more crashes. Seems like an odd place to put that switch.

just to confirm the # is correct and the build works

thanks for the md5 hash

Have had that problem with all win 7 builds with my laptop.. returns to the welcome screen and freezes ..

Just installed Build 7068.

Talk about snappy - its much faster than Build 7000 and a lot more stable.

Apparently Build 7072 is the latest, though it hasn't leaked yet.

Sleep seems to work fine on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook.

I suggest you check for a BIOS update.

My copy shows the date the UK way.

Have you set yours up for a UK keyboard, etc?

i would like to but asus's site is awful and wont let me connect :/

is it possible to use nfs on windows7 without installing any extra drivers?

NFS

Networking works fine in this build. I did have to dive into the advanced setup to turn off passworded sharing and a few other things though.
