Windows 7 Build 7022 Overview
So as you all know by now, Windows 7 build 7022 has made it’s way onto the internet yesterday. Unfortunately this build only leaked in the 32 bit flavor but it still gives us some insight into the direction that Windows 7 is going. The next official build from Microsoft will likely be RC1, so thankfully we have these “unofficial” builds to show us the progress in between. I have to say I am impressed with what I see in 7022. The changes may be small, but I think they are little details that just make the overall experience a whole lot better.
The first thing you will notice about 7022 is the speed of the install process. The build installed about 5 minutes faster than 7000 did (15 minutes on 7022, 20 on 7000). Upon first boot you will also notice that Windows does not ask you to create a Homegroup. This is because it actually creates one for you, and you can go in and tweak the settings on your own later.
