True story, my win7rc install lost sound after six months and one
day -- msft logged a wonderful error message:
"
The Windows Audio service depends on the Windows Audio Endpoint
Builder service which failed to start because of the following
error:
The operation completed successfully.
"
Thinking it's time to move on, run slackware64 and then WinXP in
a VM for the 'doze programs I use.

Wow, you've been hit by the "error-message backward compatibility" engine,
it's impressive how they still manage to do it after losing the sources
of half their code!-)

Probably safer, as long as you know if these progs run under virtualization
(or you may try Wine and family).
In any case not only the rate of reboot needs is lower under VM but
any reboot is much faster ;->
(and the use of "snapshots" makes wonders) |

It's worse, follow the chain of errors back and it claims cannot start
due to no RPC service, but RPC service is running. But why does sound
depend on networking? Msft spent 14 years patching the patches' patches
to make win7 from win95, and papered over the cracks with eye-candy.

Yes, get the WinXP VM 'just right', and revert to snapshot each restart,
that might stop the bitrot that leads to the 'reinstall every six months'
syndrome.
Of course my win7 backup was four months old -- where does the time go?
So snapshots would be easier.

Does anyone have any experience with Win 7 as released? Release
Candidates by definition have bugs.
