RC is almost out of the door now !

[xan K]

I can't wait for RC. I'm currently using 7000 and want to see what lies ahead...though I hear they are taking some things out that I like...

things like what? ..may I ask.

I upgraded 7057 to 7077 and it only went smoother and made things much better. As for vista...no clue.

In another thread I mentioned that they are considering changing the thumbnail previews; they may leave Dreamscene out; some have mentioned they have removed the shuffle desktop wallpaper, etc.

I'm just mentioning some rumored changes. We'll have to wait for RC to see what they have decided.

Now why would they want to do that?.. that would be almost ruining a lot of what makes 7 so much different than vista..:sarc:

You must remember: They brought us Vista in the first place. LOL.

This imyfirst experience in testing a major operating system. I am jus so confusd about the leaks (I am running 7077), are they legal, are they legitimate...etc etc.

They keep saying that 7106, supposedly RC1, is about to be released. How can this be,given that the RC is not officially due till May.

I have decided not to do anymore updates and sit on 7077 till May. I don;t want some Chinese version or some pirated version that has some kind of bomb built in.

All of this IMHO.

The facts are that MS is well aware of the leaks but will only offer support of any type for the 7000 builds until releasing the actual RC1! As for the alleged 7106 everyone has been ranting about for the last 2 days the Russians just translated that into English and stuck on some of the usual torrent sites. That's at the 49.2% mark being given a fast look here for the 32bit build to see if that is anything more then a fake!

Yeah too bad it's not 100% english. At least it has english in it, which is why I'm downloading it myself and also because I want to see what exactly they did to the ISO.

 

[Night Hawk]

Well as it turns out that is also the Chinese simplified translated into English not Russian into English being seen. The information at the torrent site was way off! I have to reboot in order to see the installation finish to see if there any other things that should be cautioned on. The only thing not seen in English for reference is the license agreement still in Chinese.

How are these being leaked in other languages? I figured the leaks would only be coming from the U.S. offices of Microsoft.

apparantly there are computers in other parts of the world besides the US? :sarc:

Yes, I'm just not privy to where the development and distribution of pre-release builds occur.

lol, neither am i but i'm guessing microsoft and it's testers are worldwide...obvioulsy

Obviously to some extent. I don't know what size operations they're int'l offices are compared to the Redmond HQ. I'm assuming the computers in Russia are the same von neumann ones in the U.S., no?

 

[Night Hawk]

I would suspect whoever is leaking them out in the U.S. is seeing them leaked to other countries where the translation as well as number changes are seen at times! Since every leak so far has not been seen on any US site but elsewhere that prevents backtracking to the source of the leak.

(well let's say the unintentional, intentional but untracable if you get the drift?!)
