looks like he did by the color of the link.

All signs are pointing to a finished RTM. Hope we can get an untouch iso soon.

I think you all will all be surprised when you find out Windows 7 was signed off on last week. The O'Neil guy let it out before the official announcement. Microsoft and certain partners knew it was declared as final last Saturday. You can't keep something like this under wraps, but they did a pretty good job IMHO. Many of you are already running the final bits now.

Edit: It was assembled on July 13th, tested the 14th to the 18th, signed off on Saturday July 18th.

Yep...the link took me to a page of blurb from Jim O'Neil...but nothing there about RTM.
All it has done is confirmed the OP wasn't posting BS or Trolling...the e-mail is legit...as far as I can tell anyway...
Doesn't really matter...all will be revealed soon and then on 6th Aug (7th here in Aus I guess) some of us will be able to have fully activated (legally and morally) versions of Windows 7 Final.
