:blink: umm.. where did you hear this from?

PC Beta, I hate to get another warning just for posting forum link, if you confirm it's OK then I'll post the thread link.

And who says this is RTM??????

From what I have heard Windows 7 willl not hit RTM until Augest!

I know, the better word is pre-RTM. :)

This kind of looks fake. With the RC just released, I do not think this will be the RTM if it is infact true. Since when do you check mark items you want to download?

It's the RTM branch. not the actual RTM. Also, I think RTM will finish on 7200 I think, certainly heading that way.

What are we seeing here? Looks like screenshots of Explorer and Firefox opened in IE? Why? Who has IE as the default image viewer? Smells fishy to me...

This is a creen-shot of my IE8 viewing the screen-shot of that guy's explorer and firefox.

To fake the explorer downloading is relatively simple, but to fake all that build strings of Connect? It takes quite a lot of trouble, who would do that just to post a screen-shot in the first place?

Well given that it's been found that some of the leaked builds including the RC came with a trojan that software scanners couldn't detect that allowed the author to collect data including bank card details and your address I won't be using any more leaked builds. It's far too risky and you never know what's been done to it especially if anti virus/spyware/malware programs can't detect possible trojans.

I do agree there is always risk using leaked builds, BUT just depends from what source they are and until now russians never let us down, you know until you burn once its fine to play with a fire :) (and not like im using computer for anything "important")

      My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.

      Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.

      My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.

      I see it has more memory, more storage, a better CPU, and a stylus, as you said. Might be a good alternative. I see some refurbished for $150-200. I'm not scared of refurnbished, as a lot of parts in my house are refurbished/used. All are working atm.
