It is *impossible* to use the old size without using a special tool in Vista and Windows 7 to see it's exact position and size in pixels. I don't really care about Media Player, because I use KMPlayer. I personally hate this compact mode.

That the most stupid thing I ever heard about computers :)))))) 32bit OSes in any matter and flavour and stuff had that limitations and even 32bit applications can just only address 4 GB of ram for them let's say from a 24 GB available on a 64-bit OS: "32 bits refers to the size of the largest address which the computer is capable of processing. Trying to fit a 64 bit address into a 32 bit space is like jamming the square peg into the round hole. In order to address more memory, you need a computer with a larger address space. As of this writing, hardware makers are taking advantage of the thirst for more memory by selling 64-bit systems. One such hardware manufacturer is Apple, whose 64-bit Mac Pro is expandable to 32 GB of memory" http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/1079 kaczula, sorry for that but are you nuts?

The fact that there is no x64 bit version available (yet) means I won't try it. And I would have gone the upgrade path if there had been one. Really nice to see that they are continuing finetuning the system in the right direction. Hopefully (although probably not) we will see some added functionality or apps in the RC. Thanks for keeping us up to date! BTW: Your blog looks great. Like the layout - and the content. Great overview Chris! The fact that there is no x64 bit version available (yet) means I won’t try it.

Few hours back Winfuture has leaked the screenhots of Windows 7 build 7032 as well. Windows 7 is going great guns! Really impressive changes in the latest build.

Of course it can - 32bit Linux or Windows 2003/2008 do this without any problem (up to 64GB). Microsoft disabled support for > 4GB RAM on "consumer" 32bit OSes (XP, Vista) due to some vague driver compatibility issues. “Hopefully this will show people that x86 CANNOT address a full 4 GB of RAM under any circumstances.”

I upgraded from build 7000 yesterday. The process took about 2 hours, which was about an hour less time than upgrading from 6956 to 7000. The indexing works is fine for me, even after multiple reboots. @xxdesmus: You can upgrade from the beta and activate it using that key as well. I upgraded from build 7000 yesterday.
