Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6574.1
Chinese website Think Next published several new details about the latest Windows 7 Milestone 1 release that has the internal build number 6574.1. Just a few hours after posting the new pictures, videos and information they pulled them again but thanks to caches they are still accessible. About a dozen new Windows 7 screenshots were posted as well as one new Windows 7 video and explanations that described the screenshots and videos.
All screenshots found on the website are included below, just click on one to load the image in full size. Let us hear what the original author of the article had to say about the changes in this new milestone release of Windows 7.
The installer is not greatly changed since M1 R1, only some words are updated from Vista to 7. Last time I use R1, the License Terms and SKU selection referred ‘Windows Vista’, now it’s changed to ‘Windows 7”.
The SKU selection shows these options:
Windows 7 Business, HomeBasic, HomePremium, Ultimate, HomeBasic N, Business N and Starter.
See some new SKUs are included however I don’t think these will definitively be the SKUs Windows 7 will provide. The installer program may inherit from some development tree so the SKU names are inherited also. Anyway, it’s not important to argue how many SKUs Win7 will bring to us. It’s much of business, not technology.The SKU selection uses something like a grid control, the 1st column is SKU name, and 2nd, Date Modified. For all those SKUs, the date is March 2008.As in the M1 R1, Win7 installer automatically creates an additional 500.0 MB partition before system partition. A user doesn’t have control on this. No idea on what for. The partition doesn’t appear in My Computer but you can see it in disk management.
Other parts of the installation are same as in M1 R1.The post-installation setup wizard, may be used for performance benchmarking to determine experience index, differs from that of Vista in that Win7 removes those fancy animation pictures during the process and the time it spends on this step is much less (less than 2 minutes on my platform).
Finally, after the setup here comes the product key… Yes, you can still input a blank key. M1 R2 recognizes my G35 integrated graphic card and adapts display mode which makes my eyes comfortable at the first sight on Win7. Remember I had to find drivers for M1 R1. The user name, machine name setup windows isn’t the default Vista style, I mean, neither Basic nor Aero. See below. The font is even Arial not Vista’s default.
Changes that are noted by the author are to the search in the Start Menu which now uses the full width of the Start Menu to display search results, to the Windows Health Center, changes to Explorer layouts and to UAC which is probably one of the greatest improvements yet. When issuing multiple commands that require elevated rights Windows 7 asks the user if the wants to disable UAC temporarily.

I seriously hope they overhaul the UI in the next couple of months. Vista and XP where both desperately ugly – I just hope they can make something beautiful instead of extracting boring, lowest-common-demonitator and souless ideas from focus groups.
i instald windows vista premum on my 4 year old computer with out any hard wear up grades to the computer it runs vista better then it ever ran xp its faster it runs great but i know my way around computers and i know for a fact that some old computers can run vista better then some new 1s can so dont tell ppl thay dont now how to use computers that well thay may have a new cheap computer that came with vista and thay shouldnt have had vistsa on it my 4 year old computers hardwear was more powerfull then some computers that came with vista when vista first came out my mom has a computer that came with vista she downgraded to xp because vista messd her computer up and my 4 year old computer runs it great some comps cant run some os i had a dell with windows me that the computer copuldnt run yet it ran 2000 better so dont tell ppl thay dont now comps
1 more thing tell me if u disagree and microsoft should leave xp alone and not stop selling after jun 30
First of all rodney, thats BS, you didn’t get vista professional and install it on a 4 year old computer and have it work better than xp, if it did, it’s because you’re a retard, and formatting your HD probably wiped all the crap that was slowing your XP computer down. you are a douche.
second of all…Neil windows 7 MIGHT be a great OS, and if someone is having trouble with vista, they were having trouble with xp, thats the way it is. no one should complain about vista, not that it’s great…it’s slow, and i’ve never been asked if I was sure I thought I was making the right decision before it came along. other than that the only people that should have problems are the people that are trying to hack it or mod it, cause it’s pretty secure, and the people that are too dumb to upgrade their hardware, coming to me saying vista won’t work! NO, you retard, it won’t recognize your dot matrix printer because it’s the first one ever built, and vista is asking you to move on. third revolutn, pretty much everything still works on windows 2000 so i don’t know why you felt compelled to change. I absolutely hate it when people come up to me and say, I don’t want a computer with vista, it sucks. NO my good friend, you suck, and you are only saying vista sucks because you are a sheep and you listen to everything everyone says, and you probably shouldn’t have a computer. i dont work for microsoft, in my opinion win98 was the best OS made by them, and they have yet to impress me Ubuntu would be sweet if everything was compatible with it. Mac’s are sweet even though not everything is compatible with them.
i didnt say vista pro i said pemum ur a retard but i do agree win 98 is the best microsft ever did and win me was the worst learn to read ur the retard alex
