Windows 7 RC1 x64 Build
Windows 7 x64 RC1 is looking good & it’s sorted my SAMBA transfer speeds clocking Doom2 to desktop at up to 100MB/sec. I could get max ~70MB/s only under FTP with XP.
Issues have been small & infrequent
- A couple of “freezes” though coming back from monitor power save & one while running the color calibration. Disabling sleep & monitor power off is the current workaround.
- BSOD trying to play an HD movie using the builtin codecs. Which was fixed by switching over to FFdshow,
- Also had some USB weirdness, where drives plugged into powered hubs would cause my USB keyboard to drop out.
I only had issues with a few bits of software & had to keep on remembering to do “install as admin”
