Windows 7 RTM Rumor Quashed -- InformationWeek
It says
"BILL VEGHTE: Good morning. How is everyone doing out there? (Applause.) All right. You watch that video, it's such an exciting time. It is such an exciting time. This month we will release Windows 7 to manufacturing, and we write that next chapter, "
Nothing more specific if it was released already.

Just wish it would hurry up now
It says where the original source is but incase you missed it:

This just doesn't make sense.
Okay, so maybe it ISN'T the "gold" code. Maybe it's not even the final build. However, an "official" statement released with a future date attached? Exactly one week in the future, to be exact? Sounds like this press release was written a while ago, and they expected the 7600 build to take another week to finish.
This, to me, seems like MS is intentionally leaking these builds, and screwed up by being a week ahead of schedule, and not proofreading their press release.
Does that make me crazy for thinking so?
Nevermind. I clicked the link. It was a type, and they have corrected it. It should have said "10th of July"

The build 7600.16384.090710-1945 x64 may or may not be 'gold' but it activates without time bomb which is good enough for me.
I'll keep it and see what windows update does over the coming year.
