Redmond still haven't called that plumber, the official RC build has leaked online at the usual places.We revealed yesterday that the Windows 7 RC build was 7100 and according to many Neowin members the x86 version has leaked just a short time ago.
We expect the RC will be available to the public shortly and Redmond could still hit the rumored May 5th date. There is speculation the software giant will hold off until May 15th, the last day of Tech-Ed 2009.
Lol, I found this out just about an hour before this post came out.

Well, it's the same as Jugalator's x64 hashes.
At the very least it can serve as a proof.
So the public might have to wait till later.

No, you may not.
I've tried to upgrade it from 7057 and it says it can't upgrade... So do I assume I have to do a clean install?
Microsoft recommends users to do a clean install rather than upgrading from Windows 7 Beta (or any other builds) to Windows 7 RC build. It is not possible to upgrade your Windows 7 Beta to RC unless you bypass the check for the pre-release upgrade. Even though this is not recommended by Microsoft, below are the steps to bypass this check (from the E7 blog):
•Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD
•Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the pre-release build)
•Browse to the sources directory
•Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad
•Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000
•Save the file in place with the same name
•Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed

7100 is 4-21-2009, newer.
RC build is only 7100.
Afterwards there were 7105/7106 (pre-RTM branch)
Currently there is the build 7115 compiled.
RC is 7100, but it's one of the newer builds which were done recently. 7100 was reserved so that whatever build they felt was best would become RC.

Just shut up before I beat you to death with your Caps lock key.
lmao, that just made my day.
Guess im gonna try Vista drivers then...
-edit- Vista driver completed the test OK but gave me only 2.0 for Gaming. (in Vista it was 3.5)
Actually it looks like the original driver crashed right after Windows Media Decoding test.
Buggy intel drivers!?

I guess its OK for now.
Lets wait for some proper drivers for Seven...
I suspect because it won't be in the RTM.
And what would that be?
Yeah, commentators who don't have the faintest idea what they are talking about. 8P
C:Users[Your Username]AppDataLocalMozilla
AND C:Users[Your Username]AppDataRoamingMozilla
But make sure u start firefox to create those folders new first, in case it overwrites the old ones
Will definitely wait for RC
I have mixed feelings about this build with responsiveness not as snappy and explorer hanging on security warning.
