There are lots of changes in this new build. Some of them are as follows:
- The infamous UAC issue has been fixed. In previous Windows 7 builds when you changed the UAC level, Windows didn't show any prompt message. It was dangerous from security point of view as a malware can turn off UAC on a system easily.
- New user display pics
- New Wallpapers
- New Icons for few programs
- New login screen
Following are some screenshots:

About Windows:
NOTE: This new build comes with a new bug. A "desktop.ini" file opens in Notepad at each startup.
You can fix it using following steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer and go to "Organize -> Folder and Search Options" and click on View tab. Now enable "Show hidden files, folders and drives" option and disable "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option.
2. Now provide following commands one by one in RUN or Startmenu Search box:
shell:startup
shell:common startup
It'll open "Startup" folder for current user and all users respectively.
3. You'll see "desktop.ini" file present in each folder. Delete it.
4. That's it. Restart your system and now you'll not see the annoying file at startup.

What i'm hoping to see in windows 7 now is the performance, i think the interface is already good enough for me. Hopefully windows 7 will show noticeable performance improvement compared to windows xp and vista when it is released or else it will just be another windows with different looks.

SPEN: Yes, I upgraded from 7000 to 7022, then from 7022 to 7048 and yesterday night from 7048 to 7057.
It's worth it and runs smooth. Only problem is that it will take more than 2 hrs.
