Windows 7 RC

[RST101]

I just can't fathom the difference between giving them now and us in 3 weeks. I would prefer to get it off Microsoft as I'm sure Microsoft do, but they should know that the majority will get it any which way. Just why are they screwing with our heads in this torturous way, lets have them before the mind games council and see what they have to say for themselves.

You guys make me laugh

Do we like installing Windows 7 or using it?

I think we're losing track of this thread again :sarc:

Any more news on Windows 7 RC anyone?

At this point this thread is so unnecessarily long and off track that it isn't doing anymore good as an information source.

WHEN the Release Candidate does come out, this thread will be of no service because it has become annoying.

Might be time to put this puppy down for it's own good.

I like both. I think we all expect a bit too much when a new build comes out. Nevertheless I enjoy do fresh installs anyway so I feel more at home when new builds DO come out.

I've spent years doing fresh installs. I reinstall my system every 6 months just to keep it 100% tip top LOL

its fun to install and its fun to see what works and what doesn't, I noticed somethings working in 77 that didn't work right in 68 or what ever version I was using before.

not to jump of topic but I was a fanboy of Apple, I started in 95 with windows and finally have a MS OS that I like with windows 7, not sure I like the networking stuff changed from vista but I don't have a second machine ATM so it could be good. anyway med time and will post what my contact says about RC as soon as he get back to me. and I am not pulling anyones leg with my info, I worked with the Department of Homeland Security and have contacts with most major software companies which have become friends and they still leak info to me when they can, my MS friend will give me info to post here if he can get it but he isn't involved with the OS directly but his job does give him access to most of the computers in the OS department. He was also the guy who sent me here so I think he might be a member and if he is and is reading this sorry if you wanted to stay hidden.

Yes I agree 100%. No matter what registry cleaners or the like that you have there is nothing quite like a fresh install. It reaches the parts other utilities cannot reach. It's like getting out of the shower after a hard days graft.

I also re-install every 6 months. Every OS, even Apple's, suffers performance hits over time.

Clean installs are the best.

hmmm.. i got a question... its not quite related to this thread.. but i guess some what... okay... When we install windows 7.. (where the options come up of format or choosing which drive to install...while doing clean install) The format is quick! So My Question is it safe to use quick format again and again every week to install a new build ? or what we do for the normal format... i dont see any option for that while installation!!! lemme know mates..

thnx

I have done it 17-19 times on 1 partition. No problems here. Hope this helps.

Windows 7 RC is not on the MSDN website yet.
It will be when MS are ready?

There are so many rumors and then rumors of other rumors floating around the blogosphere. I have heard nothing definitive today. What we do know is this...
a) Builds in both branches for RTM and RC are being compiled each day.
b) Windows development team, ISV's, OEM's, VAR's and other partners are still testing. Which means they have not set the final build yet.
c) Several MSFT web site accidents (sic) have revealed some ideas for RC dates but only key players at MSFT know the real dates. Things can change at any moment.
d) Build 7082 may leak but it is not the final RC by any means
e) Windows 7 RC will be available in the next few days or weeks, officially or unofficially
d) TechNet and MSDN can only download build 7000 as this post
e) People who know what's going on are not saying.
f) There is no build 7200.

I am still waiting for a confirmation email after being authorized for the Partner Program. Hopefully I will get it soon. Posting info on here might be why I don't have access yet. But I'll get over it

I have a partner account and the windows 7 RC bits are not available there either.

[swarfega]

7077 will tie me over until May 5th. Its only two weeks away!

Is Registrated Microsoft parter enough to get my hands on Win7 RC? (when its out ofcourse)

Or do I have to upgrade my organisation?

 

[gulshan]

some one told me.. you have to be gold partner in order to get that

 

[jblazea50]

will there be new keys for the RC version, if so, how will that be handled?
