I bet there would be no other leak other then maybe some fake chinese hacked ones full of viruses.

looking at that pic of the site again does anybody by any chance know chris?

What site/pic?

Hmm, so May 5th for Technet subscribers. I wonder how much it is for a subscription. If I come up with some cash I'd defiantly torrent it for you guys.

Same here. I also say that about your avatar.

The way the date keeps changing we might just as well use a Calendar based on the motion of the Planet Mercury.

What is interesting about the motion of Mercury is that an observer on the planet would see a phenomenon known as a "Double" sunrise / sunset.

For example before the actual end of the day on Mercury the sun will set -- then it will rise again for an hour or so and finally set.

SPACE.com -- Doorstep Astronomy: Mercury in the Morning

So using the number of sunrises / sunsets on Mercury in a particular period and adding this to "the number you first thought of" perhaps we could get a more reliable Earthbound date for the release of RC1.

It certainly ISN't available on technet yet .

Cheers

we need this out in the wild before may 5 to avoid the feeding friendzy we had with the beta when the suckers from neowin hammered on ms door too hard.

i hope they keep 'send feedback' for this one so we submit all the bits that need polish before rtm/winmain. i want it so shiney i can see my face in it. i just cant wait.

Well, keep in mind it's a release candidate. They put it out there for us to test, so I bet there will be "Send Feedback" buttons. Hopefully, we won't have to use them to report problems, but I bet it will still be there.

Build 7000 was out weeks before the public release yet it still happened.

I think it was more that people wanted keys...

may 5 technet / may 15 public? the page isn't very clear

 

[ikilledkenny]

Yes, that's what the evidence leads us to.

[crazlunatic]

strange, any idea how to get to MS concierge chat personally? i beleive u must be a TAP partner to do so

Unless the keys change (which i don't think will happen) it may not be as bad trying to download the RC on public day this time around

In the home page on the right side there's a link for the concierge. An TechNet Plus sub has this option too.

That is because the bits for Beta1 were signed off by MS a full month before "public" release.
This current situation is pretty close to the Beta1 signoff. Give it a day or two, maybe even a 5 day wait, but it will leak soon enough.

However, the actual build number that is available for download to the OEM's has yet to be disclosed (the prior pic early on in this thread, in my eyes, is far to small for the actual window that is displayed within the OS itself) officially, so I would not take stock in RC being build 7200. 50/50 chance I am right on this.

Yes i understand this, we were just talking about the amount of server problems they had on the last public download day

I think the RC will be 7100, JMO.
