for those interested, I've read from brandon leblanc a microsoft employee that the RTM of 7 will be available to MSDN AA (Academic Alliance) on August 14th

"Posted on: August 05, 2009 at 1:25AM
Update regarding MSDNAA - I'm told folks can expect the Windows 7 RTM bits to become available on MSDNAA around August 14th (8/14). I'll post more info once I get it. Sorry for the delay to the MSDNAA folks asking about availability."

Downloading now, at 60% but after an initial 1mbp/s it now jumped back to 400-500kb/s

Language packs are also up for download.

Now to wait for a leak so I can reinstall this thing.

Why wait...the hash values are exactly as per the ZUKO leak....if you have that just edit the ei.cfg to install the version you need.

Apparently some people think that hashes are not a valid way of proving legtimacy...

I'm a Connect member, will it be available for users like me? or is there a seperate "paid" version of Connect?

It is for paying customers only...*sigh*

Sorry, I've been out of the loop for a while. Do you have the hash values for this leak?
Thanks

Some also speak before they know all the facts.

ZUKO....

Ahh, thank you!

For other versions, hash values from "-WZR" are the same as ZUKO,

and the files are 'Identical' (Ones and zeros - wise).

(But, if one edits the ei.cfg, it'll then be "dirty"...) :roflmao:

I assume Windows 7 Professional will be available to MSDNAA accounts on Aug 14th, and it's highly possible that Windows 7 Enterprise will also be provided.

Oh, what the hey!
