@howdrSo when I joined I asked about downloading from a torrent and such and got my hand slapped, but if we are going to talk about all these builds, any build but 7000 is not official.
eh hem..
And that's why, because you weren't asking about downloading a torrent, but were discussing activation cracks, if you re check your first post.
Hey guys, Will we see builds of the RC come out like the Beta? Or just RC1 and RC2 perhaps? Just wondering. Thanks.
I am not sure what you are referring to with 7077 is ahead of 7106....7077 was leaked before 7106....even though the 7106 build date is prior to 7077.
The problem with 7106 is it is obviously tampered with...
Your comment on the patch really does put you into the Pirate area....majority of the people on here have stated they will be buying Win7 when it finally releases...
I will be running the RC as soon as I can...and I will provide feedback....as I would have done if I had been able with the leaked versions.
I don't expect too many users in this forum are looking on these builds as a "free" OS, moreover they are evaluating these builds and how they interact with their systems and existing programs, with a view to buying the RTM when it is released.
I respectfully disagree with that statement. WE KNOW these interim releases have Kill dates built into them and would not download them with the thought that we are going to keep them forever. A pirate would want to keep the bounty!
Seems a better description would be "second hand testers" and that seems like it would be invaluable to Microsoft. It stands to reason that someone at the big house is keeping an eye on comments from all of these forums, I certainly would if for no other reason than to see if something pops up that I had not anticipated and could correct before putting Windows 7 out on the market place.
I don't see any of these downloads being "pirated" until the retail version hits the shelves and I fully intend to PURCHASE Windows 7 soley based on my experiences with these various leaks.
Just my opinion mind you and I hope I didn't offend anyone...
Just to include parts of the EULA that indicate we are not "Pirates" in a legal sense. The EULA is very clear that we do have the right to use these versions when they are correctly activated with the key provided for that purpose.
I might be saying "ARGHHHH" from time to time but that is because I'm real grumpy in the morning before coffee, and not because I have a peg leg and a patch over my eye!
