Typing this from new Windows 7 build 7068. Wow the setup installation went very smoothly in about 25 mins and then it boot very faster than Vista. Plus I noticed build 7068's Windows Update is blaze fast search and updated stuff when I log into desktop that didnt happened in build 7057.

Very impressive with this build 7068, it fixed all the bugs I experienced with build 7057. :)

I tried upgrade at first but a window message pop up said that I cannot do upgrade so I did a format and clean install.

what do you guys burn your disc at? I hate when I'm installing a new build and it sits on a blue screen or what ever screen for like 5 mins before continuing installing.

I burned it maximum speed and it installed fine. 7068 is pretty damn fast.

I have an issue with firefox, occured in 7057 too but I am not sure if its just me or not. On a fresh instance of firefox when i go to download something and I click save file, it takes like 4-5 seconds for the downloads window to pop up. After that, when you go to download something, it'll initiate instantly with no pauses.

On a fresh install, I never had that issue but after a while it came up again, so I am not sure what is wrong here.

So is this faster/better than the 7057 build? Don't want to download this just for some new wallpapers..

As far as I know, yes. The key from the 7000 build worked on the 7022 build that I'm using.

Holy crap this thing is fast! Wasn't expecting this big of an improvement over the 7000 beta! No more Adobe related errors and coupled with google chrome 2.0 beta this thing is seriously fast(and no more flash crashes - YEEEAAAH!!)! Can't wait for the retail versions! (nana2)

just finished installing, still need a bit work.

WEI detail sheet won't open, just errors out
why did they remove sort by: categories in windows explorer?
dell touchpad (alps) issue, for some reason everytime i reboot, it auto-re-enables click-on-top option
still not sure what to think about those libraries
biometrics issue, finger scanner doesn't work all the time, not sure if it is windows fault or upek
there are few more minor issues

Hell no! :D Think I'm gonna stick with 7068 for now..

EDIT: 7070 doesn't seem leaked yet - it was just some kid whose dad works for microsoft who had visited his office and taken some screenshots. They said it was a major update though, so I just might have to update again...
