Hands-On Windows 7 Milestone 1

[Warboy]

Milestone 1 is basically Vista with SP1 beta patches, proper EFI support, a 32bit colour loading screen, and a bunch of UI updates. There is nothing special about it as yet, Milestone 2 has a lot more internal changes. DirectX doesn't work in VMWare so couldn't test out Nvidia drivers. Memory use is about the same, I set up a VM with 2gb of ram.

The new Control Panel does look hell sexy though.

My 5c.

Edit:
When I get around to it I'll load it up in MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1 and see how DirectX performs in it.

Here is the Current Build list guys.

?.?.6???.?.winmain_win7m2.0804?3-1??? from Paul Thurrott's photo This is one of the builds that were demonstrated on D6. Only part of the build number is known, as the corresponding photo is quite blurry. This is also the build in the multi-touch demo video.

M2 hasn't leaked yet, The One on Torrent Sites are fakes.
