The "Official" RC download for Technet/MSDN

[jblazea50]

wasn't the leaked version x86 2.36gb and x64 3.05gb

these ones shows 2.40 and 3.11

why the difference?

 

[murphy25]

Here you go.

could u click the details and then a screenshot of the x64 please mate from that it should satisfy any doubters as the details will include all the hashes.
thanks

I'm trying to, but the page keeps erroring out when I click on details. I think the servers are overloaded.

You didn't notice that was his (Max's) one & only post???
I'll believe it when I see it for myself or one of the established members posts that info here...
I'm not going to believe someone new here with a post count of 1. :sarc:

I've been a lurker until now, but I thought I register to let you know that the version leaked IS the official RC (at least for the x64 version).

Take my word or not, but that's the truth.

Why is the sizes different than the leaked versions ????

The leaked versions were probably compressed

 

[neozm]

max why is the sizes different than the leaked one's then ???

I'm not scared and this release came directly from MSFT untouched (just not officially). Now did some folks download altered ISO images, maybe. I am running it on 4 different computers with not one problem. Geez.....

On April 30th, Technet will get the RC and it will match these ISO images exactly. So, keep this open till then. Here is validation info for the April 23rd leaked 7100 images:

Let's compare these when it comes out....

See, I told you. The Technet downloads match.

 

[neozm]

no the leaked version are bigger in size

 

[Crunchy Doodle]

The MSDN subscriber download site is over-loaded too. I can't get to the download page.

Bye.

 

[Max7]

max why is the sizes different than the leaked one's then ???

The size is the same! The size in the posted screenshot is 3119.3 MB and if you divided by 1024 you get 3.046...

MB

Sizes mean nothing as it could be added info in the iso, compression, etc.
The hash checksums will be the do or die on the matching of these.
They will either be the same, or they won't.

wguimb, I don't doubt you, but you're only making it worse by posting this over and over. Re-read the text of your post. The hashes say they are from the LEAKED version of RC 7100. They do not say they are from the officially released version of RC 7100. Like I said, I'm not doubting you; but just because you say so, I'm not going to stop my Technet download and not verify them on my own.

I believe you mate. What have you got to gain by lying? Thanks anyway buddy.

 

[wguimb]

Ok, keep going. I would also.

 

[RST101]

The leaked x64 was 3.4gig, dont know about x86 as I dont use it.

They will either be the same, or they won't.

I think there is a problem of communication with the conversion from bytes to MB to Gb.
The leaked x86 version is
bytes 2,530,975,744
MB 2413
Gb, 2.35

I hope I am not adding more confusion.

 

[MUff1N]

Hash checksums...this is the only true way of knowing if they are the same or not.
So this is what I'm waiting on & if I have to, I'll download from the MS site on May 5th to find out for myself.

Either way it's no big deal as it's only time & this is something I have plenty of now that I'm not working.

I wouldn't doubt if MS at the last second before the RC releases changed something in there just enough to change the hashes just to F*** with people like us that got it early! LOL
It would be funny on their end & wouldn't take any work at all to do.

i got the leaked iso and hash matches now when some one on here downloads the iso and confirms the hash and then installs and confirms the version of build and watermark then we will know for sure

These are validation values for the builds leaked by a MSFT employee

Once the download from MSFT is complete, we can compare. I am pretty confident they will be the same.

I can confirm the TechNet and MSDN downloaded RC files match exactly the original leaked 7100 ISO images. See the information above.

good and thank you wguimb and of course big thanks to Einstienjr im off to edit the torrent to confirm the iso is correct
