Microsoft confirms Windows 7 SP1 RTM, released to OEMs today

No problem here..But whats the use of having it if it is not the RTM build?

From what I understand Microsoft only denied that they had released it to manufacturers.
They did not specifically deny that this release is the RTM.

Hi, bagavan! :)

I think the leaked source is actually the RTM. You're going to get it one way or another.

@nitroman84: Show off all you want. I'll just read it with a bit of appreciation and admiration.

Ok..thanks...No need to uninstall it rite?

That's right, like mikedl said it's coming one way or another, may as well be on your terms.
@ mikedl I'll still try to keep it in moderation, besides from the looks of things to come this year I may have jumped on the SSD wagon too soon.

If it were me, moderation would be the last thing on my mind. Go for it. You early adopters spend all of the money so all of us late bloomers can see what's best.

Please, keep showing off without moderation. :)

I can see it now, 10 or 15 years from now I'll be on here telling the newcomers how much I paid for a 128 GB SSD when you can go to Wal-Mart and but a 500 exabyte SSD for 50 bucks.

And we'll be thanking you for that!

Someone's gotta do it. For now, I'll stick with software. When I can afford it, I'll rely on you for the hardware deals (and your take on the software, as well). :)

Ah yes software, another of my greatest weaknesses. Back in high school when I was forced into a typing class I developed a hatred of computers. Funny now I've almost become a full fledged computer geek.

I'm getting this in the registry:

Windows7SP1-KB976933~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.17514

It seems "17514" is the leaked version according to Airbot's initial post in this thread.

By all accounts, this does appear to be the official RTM.

As to the "101119-1850" part, I can't find that in the registry.
