RE: Windows 7 On TechNet Now

[Jason Gauthier]

I've watched that stupid site all day.  I have the ISO.

Where/how do I get myself a key?  And so far, a lot of apps I've tested
work.
It seems to completely stop working on this Dimension 3000 when it goes
into standby.  I disabled powersave.

The workaround I've used for a long time is a little program called
UrlRunAddIn, it adds itself to the right-click menu in Outlook and works
like a champ. I'm sure I heard about it here years ago. 
Seems there are numerous utilities with the name  urlrun kicking around
that do variations on the theme involving the clipboard if you aren't
using Outlook.

  Most versions of Outlook insert "hard" line breaks to wrap lines in
all plain text messages you send.  It tries to do this at spaces, but
if there aren't any spaces (like in a URL), it will just chop up the
line.  (Most other mail programs will leave long lines intact if there
aren't any spaces to wrap on.)

  Workarounds include:

* Use another mail program (always, or just for that message)
* Use HTML format in Outlook (always, or just for that message)
* Adjust Outlook's line wrap width (location of the setting varies)

VMware Workstation 6.5 sees Windows 7 as Vista and has no problems installing 
Win7.  For x86 it wants a minimum partition size of 16GB and for x64 24GB.

Of interest, I am sure, to no one but me but Win7 x86 & x64 using IE8 works 
great with Citrix XenApp 5 on server 2003 & 2008 using client software 10.1 and 
11.0 (PN, PNAgent and web client only).

  Outlook still splits the URL to wrap it (at least, that's how I see
it in your message via Gmail), the chevrons just clue most people and
some software into the fact that the URL didn't end at the end of the
line.

See. it is wrapped. But in Outlook 2007, I can still just do a ctrl-click
and it concatenates it for me and opens the website with no problems.

I've been trying all day, and even typed in the link, but I couldn't get
in. But your link got me in immediately. BTW, what is the "trick" to
making wrap-around links work? I usually use tinyURL to solve that, but
I'd prefer to use the wrap-around technique.

Sweet, the link is working for me now..

Question: is this the x86 or x64 link?

If it is *not* the x64 link, does anyone have it?

BITS can do peer-to-peer and I know it can do the multiple-master thing;
but I can't claim to be anything close to an expert on it.

I do know that it has mucho logic designed to not impact "user
experience"
while file transfers are ongoing.

DFS R2 is a BITS server. It can be securely exposed (so say the white
papers), but I've never done it.

I'm not qualified to compare BITS to BT, but I think it's a "neato"
technology to have built-in to Windows.

  Oh!  I forgot about BITS.  And doesn't BITS in Vista SP1 have the
capability of doing peer-to-peer file sharing, just like BitTorrent
does?  Microsoft could release a stand-alone BITS client to let people
without Vista download big things like this Win 7 Beta.  They could even
offer a stand-alone BITS *server* for other companies to use.
That would be downright useful.

  (Just to tie in to a previous topic in this thread: But instead of
that, Vista gives us transparent window trim.)

  BitTorrent can generally deliver a 650 MB CD image in around ten
minutes on my nuttin' special cable Internet feed.  And unlike
conventional file transfer methods, the more people downloading a
torrent at once, the *faster* it goes.

  I dunno if BITS was intended for that kind of massive share swarm,
high-speed transfer though.  BitTorrent has caused a lot of cheap
routers and network drivers to fail under the load it can generate.
Trying to use BITS that way might violate the design assumption.

  Oh!  I forgot about BITS.  And doesn't BITS in Vista SP1 have the
capability of doing peer-to-peer file sharing, just like BitTorrent
does?  Microsoft could release a stand-alone BITS client to let people
without Vista download big things like this Win 7 Beta.  They could even
offer a stand-alone BITS *server* for other companies to use.
That would be downright useful.

  BitTorrent can generally deliver a 650 MB CD image in around ten
minutes on my nuttin' special cable Internet feed.  And unlike
conventional file transfer methods, the more people downloading a
torrent at once, the *faster* it goes.

  I dunno if BITS was intended for that kind of massive share swarm,
high-speed transfer though.  BitTorrent has caused a lot of cheap
routers and network drivers to fail under the load it can generate.
Trying to use BITS that way might violate the design assumption.

  Product Activation is software trying to determine the

operator controls.  Any security analyst will tell you that you will

I did a URL scan of the download page, and it's down in 30 locations and

Why don't they just embrace bit torrent and alleviate their network
congestion?  Put the saved money from hosting and bandwidth into
developing a product activation system that doesn't get cracked in the
first 5 minutes of their release.   It amazes me that they can't even
protect their own assets with security measures.  Makes me wonder how
their security products will protect me if they can't even protect their

  Just a guess, but: Microsoft, like a lot of companies, suffers from

use it.  Intel's the same way.  Heck, look at Apple, they consider NIH

  Product Activation is software trying to determine the trustworthiness
of the operator while it's running on hardware the operator controls.
Any security analyst will tell you that you will

this.  The failure of PA is one thing that's not Microsoft's fault.

of software publishers: It's all about making your computer into

  Oh!  I forgot about BITS.  And doesn't BITS in Vista SP1 have the
capability of doing peer-to-peer file sharing, just like BitTorrent
does?  Microsoft could release a stand-alone BITS client to let people
without Vista download big things like this Win 7 Beta.  They could
even offer a stand-alone BITS *server* for other companies to use.
That would be downright useful.

  (Just to tie in to a previous topic in this thread: But instead of
that, Vista gives us transparent window trim.)

  BitTorrent can generally deliver a 650 MB CD image in around ten
minutes on my nuttin' special cable Internet feed.  And unlike
conventional file transfer methods, the more people downloading a
torrent at once, the *faster* it goes.

  I dunno if BITS was intended for that kind of massive share swarm,
high-speed transfer though.  BitTorrent has caused a lot of cheap
routers and network drivers to fail under the load it can generate.
Trying to use BITS that way might violate the design assumption.

RE: Windows 7 On TechNet Now

[Sam Cayze]

I did a URL scan of the download page, and it's down in 30 locations and
5 countries that I tested.  

Why don't they just embrace bit torrent and alleviate their network
congestion?  Put the saved money from hosting and bandwidth into
developing a product activation system that doesn't get cracked in the
first 5 minutes of their release.   It amazes me that they can't even
protect their own assets with security measures.  Makes me wonder how
their security products will protect me if they can't even protect their
own assets.

  That's our plan here.  We often skip alternating versions anyway.
Keeping up with the Joneses costs a lot and rarely pays off.  I
basically see Windows 7 as a Service Pack for Vista with a end-of-life
date further off in the future.

  It's not like we're talking about something radical here, either.
It isn't like Office 2007 or Vista can do amazing new things,
cutting-edge science.  Windows runs programs, Word is a word
processor, Excel is a spreadsheet.  These are solved problems.
Indeed, I think one of Microsoft's problems is that there's just not
that much more to *add* to Word that's worth the cost.  But
stockholders expect perpetually increasing revenue, and Office is
Microsoft's cash cow.

Which is why people who are skipping Vista to wait for Win7 aren't going to see

VMware Workstation 6.5 sees Windows 7 as Vista and has no problems
installing Win7.  For x86 it wants a minimum partition size of 16GB and for
x64 24GB.

 

Of interest, I am sure, to no one but me but Win7 x86 & x64 using IE8 works
great with Citrix XenApp 5 on server 2003 & 2008 using client software 10.1

VMware Workstation 6.5 sees Windows 7 as Vista and has no problems
installing Win7.  For x86 it wants a minimum partition size of 16GB and for
x64 24GB.

 

Of interest, I am sure, to no one but me but Win7 x86 & x64 using IE8 works
great with Citrix XenApp 5 on server 2003 & 2008 using client software 10.1
and 11.0 (PN, PNAgent and web client only).

What version is the beta? Is it 7000, or whatever was leaked a week or
two ago?

I haven't, nor have I heard of any. Because Win7 isn't fundamentally
different from Vista, I'd be surprised if it broke apps that were
Vista-compatible.

 

Which is why people who are skipping Vista to wait for Win7 aren't going
to see huge advantages to waiting, as far as I can tell. Although I
suppose that those who have avoided Vista this long might as well wait a
few more months.

Most of the incompatibilities I have seen have been related to IE8 - the
Google Toolbar, for one.

In all honestly I would focus on programs that needed to be updated to
work with IE7 - if they are sensitive to the web browser release on the
machine, and you're testing a newer OS with a newer web browser...

VMware Workstation 6.5 sees Windows 7 as Vista and has no problems
installing Win7.  For x86 it wants a minimum partition size of 16GB and for
x64 24GB.

Found Windows 7 loads on ESX like a champ.  Has any one experienced issue's
trying to load either the x32 or x64 version of Windows 7 on VMware
Workstation 6.0.4.  So far both disk's error out at the same point for me on
different systems.

 

Workstation 6.5 is what supports Vista and Server 2008.  I'm downloading
both x86 and x64 now to load.

Found Windows 7 loads on ESX like a champ.  Has any one experienced issue's
trying to load either the x32 or x64 version of Windows 7 on VMware
Workstation 6.0.4.  So far both disk's error out at the same point for me on
different systems.

 

Workstation 6.5 is what supports Vista and Server 2008.  I'm downloading
both x86 and x64 now to load.

Unless you know how to use a debugger, then the checked build does you no
good whatsoever (or if you are going to submit dumps to MSFT).

Just do the beta build.

RE: Windows 7 On TechNet Now

[Michael B. Smith]

Since the other beta's are out...

I really like the new task bar. I'm not sold on the new Start button.

Otherwise - it's very much like Vista sp2.

Except that it uses less memory. At idle, my Vista system uses about 850 MB.
At idle (pretty much the same startup applications), Win7 uses 500 MB.

Speed-wise - I don't detect any appreciable difference. But I've got pretty
fast machines already.

I have found a couple of pretty obvious bugs, so I don't consider it
production-ready.

My understanding is that they keys given out via MSDN are good for 10
activations. Dunno about TechNet.

And yes, you have a 30 day grace period before a product key - or
activation - is absolutely required...

  Assuming it's an unmodified copy, then the bits are the same; as far
as the computer is concerned, it's as legit as one from Microsoft's
servers.  It's only illegitimate from standpoint of copyright law,
which the computer knows not of.

  As far as activation goes, you don't need to activate right away.
And I wouldn't even be surprised if Microsoft doesn't actually cap the
license activations by count (it would be messy due to leaks like
this).
