Microsoft stated in 2007 that it was planning Windows 7 development
for a three-year time frame starting after the release of its
predecessor, Windows Vista, but that the final release date would be
determined by product quality.

Unlike its predecessor, Windows 7 is intended to be an incremental
upgrade to Vista, with the goal of being fully compatible with device
drivers, applications, and hardware which Windows Vista is already
compatible with. Presentations given by the company in 2008 have
focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new
taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance
improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior
releases of Microsoft Windows, most notably Windows Mail, Windows Movie
Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery, are no longer included with the
operating system; they are instead offered separately (free of charge)
as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite.
Microsoft releases fix for Windows 7 MP3 corruption issue
Microsoft
warned that there was a serious MP3 corruption issue in the Windows 7
beta (build 7000), which has been making the rounds on piracy networks.
The company promised a fix, and it has now arrived. Regardless of where
you got the beta from, I strongly recommend that you download and
install this patch:
Install this update to resolve live and recorded TV issues in
Windows Media Center, recorded TV playback issues in Windows Media
Player, and MP3 file corruption issues in Windows. After you install
this item, you may have to restart your computer. This update is
provided to you and licensed under the Windows 7 Pre-Release License
Terms.
As you can see, Microsoft took the opportunity to fix other issues
in the beta with this patch. Still, the most critical of the issues
fixed was MP3 corruption. Here's how the corruption occurs: the first
few seconds of an MP3 file will be cut if the header of the mp3 file is
larger than 16 kilobytes and if metadata is written to the file. The
corruption will occur either when the user edits the metadata from
inside WMP12 or Explorer, or if WMP12 is set to automatically fill in
missing metadata using the online service. The changes are
irreversible, so make sure to install this patch before you play back
any of your MP3s.
This is probably the most serious bug that has been discovered in
the Windows 7 beta, and it's a good thing that it was, because
Microsoft is about to give it out to the public in a couple of hours.
After refreshing the Windows 7 Customer Improvement Program page a
plethora of times, I found that after the site released 5 keys of each
architecture to me, it began to repeat the same ones, as if these are
the only keys that Microsoft is distributing for this release. I would
imagine that these keys can be used an infinite amount of times since
there are only ten different keys total that Microsoft made. I'm not
positive about that yet though. I'll test it out and get back to you on
it. In the meantime, here are those keys!:
