    Windows 7 RC/RTM Builds – Clearing the Confusion


    Posted: 14 Apr 2009
    So I’ve actually been meaning to write this for a while because it’s been annoying the hell out of me. I have seen people saying that 7105 and 7106 of Windows 7 are RC builds and the RC will be > 7100. Well all I can say to those people is that you’re wrong, you fail, and you need to learn how the development process works inside Redmond before you go spouting about a build being an RC ESCROW.....

    if this gospel is true, this has to be the strangest format of compiling/splitting that MS has ever done or been seen doing. This strange calculation format wasnt used in whistler or longhorn for that matter.... so why the strange wacky stuff now? I wonder if these ppl are the ones who call in UFO's.... just doesnt seem right to me, very odd

    I don't really understand what the point of debugging an "RC build" and at the same time introducing new code (untested?) for "RTM branch"

    It sound a little mad for me, as RC should be the starting point of the final debugging process before RTM...

    LOL!

    All that wasted time for those who were trying to convert the leaked Chinese build 7106 to English, when in fact it was an older build.
