Windows 7 RC

[wguimb]

These were the known builds as of yesterday. I heard the rumor that TAP have the real RC, so Technet and MSDN will probably get it the day before the public gets it on May 5th.

7200 is not confirmed, I take back that statement. That would be in the RTM branch anyway.

Is what 32bit? the torrent? or build 7200?

There is (so far) no proof of 7200 actually existing.
The torrent is 32bit, build 7106 but i'd steer clear to be honest.

I see, thank you the info.I meant the torrent,but way few info in the description, therefor i thought it my be fake...

It would be good if they released the RC early, but until there is some proof, I am staying away from any sketchy releases that claim to be the RC.

Me too. I'll be patient (for a change).

As was pointed out AGES and AGES ago the RC WILL be build 7100. Other 71XX / 72XX builds (if they exist at all) are either "special purpose" testing builds or builds post RC for possible RTM branch.

And please everybody don't lets go down THAT route before the RC is even released.

I know people are suffereing withdrawl symptoms after the last "proper" build 7077. RC WILL be here soon.

Cheers

It is hard though....I swore I was not going to load any more builds until the RC as 7077 was so good...but I really want the RC ...now....lol.

Even if we can't get our hands on it....it would be nice to see if anything has changed or been added.

 

[wenwong]

Wait,Thank you!

[Gordan]

Nice posts of everyone.
Windows 7 will have kernel 6.1 or 7.0 ? I think 7.0 when I read on magazines. I see now is 6.1 already.
Thanks.

lol
there's no known cure for that so far.
you think you can handle it, but as soon as you see the word "leak" you go all over the place. I have that condition.

 

[FreakyFerret]

ARGH! I just upgraded 4 of my home computers to 7077! Do you know how much work that is?! And a work computer for someone to use for testing too!

So, May 5th huh?

 

[Win7User512]

I want the RC, LOL. I don't have a paid technet subby though.

 

[Jacee]

Wait until May 5th .... it's not that far away.

Wait until May 5th .... it's not that far away.

May get leaked before then

 

[blackroseMD1]

OK, keep in mind guys, this is only a very, very unsubstantiated rumor, but over on one of the other forums I visit, a guy that is very knowledgeable about new builds and leaks says that there may be a leak on Monday, we'll see...

 

[scaramonga]

LOL, it will be here when its here!

May - RC
September - RTM
November - Launch

End of.

The link to download the RC is not active yet. I have NOT seen anything that confirms they have locked the RC bits as of now (4/18/2009 8:27PM CDT). Although I bet it is one of the latest WinRC builds (7085 to 7087). They may renumber the build. They will use the version 6.1 in the version string since that is what developers have een told to use for version check for Windows 7. I am a TechNet subscriber and I am in the Partner Program. They haven't posted it yet. Microsoft has confirmed the RC will be available to everyone on Sinco de Mayo (May 5th).

This is from the partner site: "Download Windows 7 RC
Partners: If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, you can download Windows 7 RC now. Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009."

So according to that statement, some will get it in the next few days or weeks. But everyone can get it on May 5th.

And no, I will not leak it early. Now SoLoR might heheh....

 

[Ex_Brit]

The important word is "Partners". Having a paid subscription to Technet or MSDN wont give an early access unless you are a Partner also.
So I guess the majority of us have to wait until 05 May or later for a legitimate Microsoft download.

man, my patience ends with 2. Clean install each time FF, or upgrades? 7000, 7022, 7048, 7057, 7068, 7077 - that's 30 operating systems.
