I say it's gimmick. Does anyone wants to gayuh a sampan to America? Sure you'll still reach there one day...when you're 80 years old or something..(we made assumption your sampan has not being sunk in the Ocean b4 that).

Who wants to play games in Slideshow mode? It serves no purpose to gamers, and no purpose to non-gamers.

Graphics cards are here to stay.

the weird thing is, window7 own realtek network driver didn't work, keep giving me device could not start error. however, vista driver work perfectly for me...

Added on December 18, 2008, 9:03 pm D'oh dude. Of course graphic cards will stay. Just think about those people that bought preconfigured PC with Intel graphic chipset built-in to their PC. They will still be able to play latest games, even though not at highest (or even high) settings It's like giving a man without legs a remote control wheelchair, which will give him ability to move faster, although it isn't faster than running. Just think about it and don't be narrow minded, think wide...

it's juz a demo for Larrabee imo...

dun forget, it's x86 based...

so meaning that if Crysis can be run (READ: NOT PLAY) in pure software mode, it'll ve no problem running on Larrabee...

Get a Mac ^___^ (Just kidding xD I am anticipating Windows7 as I hope they'd do better than Vista)

And did you know the development team has 1000 people spread over 25 teams? I hope at least one of the 1000 people would care about bug fixes!

hi all, my win7 does not like my media player that i installed
which are: k-lite mega codec pack 4.4.2, and real player 10 BBC version
both player will caused win7 freeze once i click on any media file (avi, rmvb)
later i uninstalled klm 4.4.2 and installed klm 3.9.0, problem still exist
any sifu can guide me?
thanks

Which build are you using? I'm on 6801 and K-Lite Mega Codec Pack work (partially) for me. Opening FLV & 3GP/3G2 files would cause MPC to crash. And out of 25 times, only once, the VobSubFilter actually loaded to the background and automatically load subtitle file for me, the rest of the time, I have to manually load subtitle in MPC.

What im really interested in would be how windows 7 will be sold. Will it be a totally new platform or sort of an upgrade from vista?

Coz most ppl are using vista right now and from what i've seen, windows 7 is more like an make over of vista rather then a totally new OS. Hopefully current vista users will only need to pay a nominal upgrade fee for windows 7 for current vista users.

I bet ALOT of ppl would be very pissed of if windows 7 would be marketed as a totally new os with a brand new OS price tag.

hi, it is build6956 32Bit
i guess have to look for another codec pack?

Hi All,

Have any1 tried the Windows 7 on a VPC 2007?
I'm having difficulty locating the sound driver for it.
Is it possible to export the sound driver .inf from my Vista VPC and install it to the Win7?

Any ideas?

Maybe, I haven't installed 6956 YET. When back, I'm going to try other codec pack and see the result. Btw, can you run Nero on your 6956?

Added on December 22, 2008, 1:42 pmHave you installed Virtual Machine Additions? It should contain working drivers for display, sound and network. and no, you can't use Vista sound driver as Virtual PC (and other virtualization app) uses it's own selection of hardwares to emulate, and usually waaay older than current one on the host PC.

Will give it a go...totally forgot bout that.
Will report back in a bit...
thanks!!!

I'm also using Windows 7 Build 6956 but I don't use K-Lite. I'm using VLC Media Player, without any problems. You may try VLC if you like.

the only thing i can hope is better memory management and fewer dll hells...
i dun mind about the GUI so long they can settle those parts 1st~

Wasn't Vista already reduced the DLL hells by incorporating vast amounts of SxS? Judging from your words, it seems you never tried Vista as Vista have both better memory management and fewer DLL hells...

but vlc not able to play some avi file...

does this related with the hardware and drive that i use?

hardware:
p4 2.8E, intel 865GBF, NV TI4200(driver: version 66.93)

installed kmplayer (korean's codec pack) problem still exist
if play real player 11 only then it working fine

dont knwo about nero as lost the cd already...still looking for it...

Yes, it's true that VLC can't play certain file types. I doubt that there's relation to your hardware specs besides complying with software requirements. Btw, make sure that your graphics card drivers are updated (Download Vista's version and install into Windows 7).

there is no Vista driver for Ti4200...
i just remembered that when i install Windows 7, the system prompt me something related with graphic, and 'DX9' (direct x 9) wording was there. based on my understanding Ti4200 actually good in dx8, and worse than fx5200 in dx9. does this be one of the reason?

any major windows 7's forum allow me refer further?

Maybe the graphics driver is causing the problem, since it's not officially supported. Btw, there's no major Windows7 forum as it's didn't go to public beta yet, but you could try Microsoft newsgroup or MSDN channel.

Since, there's no graphics card driver for your Ti4200 for Windows Vista, try to re-install the latest version of graphics card driver for your Ti4200 for XP. Btw, your Ti4200 is 32 or 64MB? Btw, I think that it's time to upgrade to a new computer cause it's still using AGP graphics card and upgrades/replacements are much harder to come by. (No offense ).

The processor is decent, not too old, but the graphic... maybe you could get ATI X1300 as an upgrade...
