oh ok, sorry.

it's really not that bad, since it's a really minor glitch in the setup screen (which you look at for like, what, 25 minutes?) and it is before any video drivers are installed.

-1, unless you can explain to me how this is bad.

I think it happens because it's emulating (more like faking) Aero (getting the same setup screen in XP too).

Its aesthetics... It's that it give a bad first impression.
When i saw this while install windows 7 for the first time I was like "Ohhh maan... that's a bad start...". First impression is always critical to be perfect.
A user in doubt and conservative form moving from XP to Windows 7, will find ANYTHING to say "I hate it". Don't believe me. I have my brother that saw this with me (and he is still on Windows 2000) and he said "ok Microsoft doesn't care about anything, ******* it"

Two words: over reaction

Why do people keep screaming "beta". The point of this site is point out these problems

billerr wrote on January 11, 2009, 12:06pm

No, it's not because it's beta. the Vista installation also had this issue, if I remember well. And it's not because no drivers are installed, as the setup screen appears the same in the upgrade process, inside of Windows Vista.

Good Bytes is right, they are bitmap-emulatin an aero Window (see, it's not movable, or clickable, it's just a bitmap, with other bitmaps strewn all over it as controls. They should fix the bitmap for the close button.

I hereby retract my third word :)

At the first word I didn't see what you were talking about and i demoted. But then I looked closeley and you're right. Changed my vote to +1 ;)

You may want to change the image to a zoomed in one.

+1. But I don't really see why this matters. The average user doesn't care about the setup icon!

fiji wrote on January 11, 2009, 4:47pm

Never mind. Just read Good_Bytes previous comment.

I noticed that since Vista beta 2 actually they should fix this silly bug in 7.
+1

+1: But just a simple question: Why does setup has a single window that you can move around and close? Does not make any sense.
