Thread: Windows 7 Build 6956 Leaked

Does anybody have it yet? If so, is it as stable or better then build 6801??

Yes it is more stable the only thing if your worried is that there are no activation keys for it at the moment. Otherwise I have had few problems with it. It includes the new aero peek feature and the show desktop feature as well as a couple other added features.

Awesome! Glad to hear they didn't ruin it already... Let's hope this trend continues through to the final release.

I know Vista Beta keys work to activate build 6801... this no longer works for build 6956??

No it does not i tried i believe 34 keys, 4 were vista beta keys and none of them worked. This has been said to be either the beta build or a very close version to it. Of course as soon as the beta build comes out there should be keys online to activate it.

Good stuff! I can't wait to get home from work and test it out!!

My only real problem is, is it enough to upgrade 6801 to 6956 or should I make a clean install?

Why not do a clean install? For all the time it takes to do one unless your comp is older then dirt... Plus with a clean install you get maximum performance from the start.

i completely agree. Always do a clean install with beta or below operating systems. They may respond or upgrade weirdly if you dont.
