When will you get Windows 7 RTM?

I'll get it from MSDNAA as soon as I finish signing up to university. My "home machine" and my "development, educational and research machine" are the same computer, so of course I will also use it for everyday use. I don't think anybody will ever be unhappy with that. Actually, the RC too was for testing purposes only, but Microsoft stated more than once that just using it everyday is testing it and helps Microsoft by sending data. And using the RTM everyday is a very educational way of learning to use it. :)
You convinced me.;)

Yeah, I think just about everything I do at home is some sort of testing... :p
So TechNet is the way for me!!

RTM should'nt be used..........

I think RTM shouldn't be used because it's all fake and Microsoft's keys will be deactivated till March 1 2010,So use your brain and go for Win 7 RC's :geek:

Huh!! Did I miss something here, why roll back to RC from RTM, I think you will find RTM does not expire for everyone, even for those who it does expire you can re-arm it... As far as I am aware users with a TechNet subscription has a full licence key and it will not run out.

Please try to be polite.

TechNet subscribers get a real key from Microsoft. Since early August.

I have been using Win7 RC for a few months.

You actually mean that the Version if have, which is verified by Microsoft and MSDN and Technet as being REAL - Genuine - 100% Authenic. will end on Mar 1, 2010. When it says RETAIL - Permanent Activated.

It's amazing how the little "Kids" come out when this kind of stuff is talked about.

There Daddy buys them thi, buys them that. Why won't my Daddy buy me this crap! God forbid you teach your child values that he will learn and prosper from. If you want something, get yourself a job and work for it just like we do!

I am not an IT person. I have a huge interest in computers. I have to have mine working for my own business. I do not want to have to depend upon someone else to help, or do things for me in order to make my computers work. I was so sick of Vista giving me fits that I wanted W7. I am not a patient person by any stretch, so I purchased a Technet subscription with my OWN money. I loaded the RTM on all my mobile laptops that my employees use in the field everyday and have never looked back.

Do I still need some help with some stuff? Sure I do, almost everyday. That's where the Technet comes in. There is a wealth of information in there for you to learn from. Not just loading OS's.

Sorry for the rant. Must be my mood today:mad: It has been raining down here in the South for over a week now and it gets me sucked into a black hole of depression with no sun!

I am now running the RTM, free and legal. I received it today at the Pittsburgh New Efficiency launch event, formatted, installed.

If anyone is interested, here are some photos from the event, quick and ugly because I am tired: Windows 7 Launch Event

I streamed one video from my smartphone during the event, and will be adding more tomorrow: YouTube - y0himba's Channel
