Windows 8.1 9600.16384 RTM INFO.


Recommended Posts

Ok this might not be the final RTM they could still make a new build and change 16384 to 16385 this could happen due to a last min bug fix. However if all goes to plan this will be the final build.

Expect a flood of news within the next 24hs and possibly a leak. As stated in that e-mail when OEM's get 8.1 they can release it right away if they wish. So if it does not leak by 1st Sep, it will on the 1st.

ok, so the update is supposed to be available the same day OEM's get it.. yet now OEM's can get it to their clientele before the OCT 18th date? anyone have confirmation of this?

 

so it would appear that we might be getting it early... sweet

Yeah OEM's get it by the 1st Sep (could be even tonight) and they can send it out to peeps before 18th oct. Not only that but that MSDN release date idea sounds like it might be getting reverted meaning people with MSDN might actually get it early after all. 

 

Regardless you will see a ISO floating around on 1st of Sep or before. Willing to bet one will leak within next 48hs.

Ok Small update:

 

A known Russian forum for leaks have apparently e-mailed some members saying a Russian language x86 & x64 ISO of 8.1 RTM will be available to download today.  (apparently) 

 

Also at 14:00 UTC time Gold/Silver members will be able to download the RTM / Distribute. (apparently) 

 

So for those waiting for a leak, if the above info is accurate (i'm not saying it is100% but it is likely to be) Expect a leak about 6PM / 7PM tonight. 

 

I wont give the forum details out, but what i will say is the source is known to have leaked in the past. (They did leak Windows 7 when it hit RTM.)

 

Anyway enjoy the RTM tonight hopefully lady's and gent's :)

 

P.S Don't shoot me if this info is incorrect, i am providing it strictly to spark some excitement and keep people in the know of what is currently known/expected. I will only add information on this post from sources i can hopefully trust.

So, if it does leak are people just going to do a clean install?  I always planned to do a upgrade, specially on my main pc because of all the apps and settings it has that I doin't want to redo.  If so, how will it activate, will it even let you activate??  Will it just take a legit 8.0 key and do a clean install that way?

It will take a legit Windows 8 key and activate yes :) It will also allow you to upgrade not just clean install. Those dirty pirates using KMS however are in for a shock :p Windows 8,1 uses KMS v6 and Windows 8 used KMS v5 so those Auto KMS apps going around won't work as they are all for KMS v5. There are a few methods of activation left for the pirates though but the most simple is crippled for now :) I am sure KMS activation will be back as soon as they get a new KMS key / work on the encryption (Might take a few weeks). 

 

Another plus is Office wont / should not activate also using those KMS things :D.  (allot of people excited for release are gonna be ###### me thinks)

Yeah but I'm just wondering if it will before the official GA date or not?

hmm, good point

though i'd assume 8.1 will probably use the same activation servers so...

in any case i guess we'll find out once it leaks

It will activate for sure on 1st Sep or before OEM's are allowed to send out Windows 8.1 before launch, that would not happen if it was unable to be activated ;). Plus it uses the same keys as Windows 8 its now a new OS remember Windows 8.1 is just an "Update" not a service pack and not an upgrade.

 

But yeah don't think of 8.1 as a new OS because it is not. Upgrading from 8 to 8.1 will be just like when you upgraded XP to XP sp1 or Windows 7 to Windows 7 SP1. (Although we can't really call this a service pack, it basically is. Instead of Service pack's they are adding new windows versions now.)

 

Example:

Windows 8.X = Just a major update of Windows 8 They will share the same key as the basic Windows 8.

Windows 9 = New key needed this is a new Windows OS.

Windows 9.X = Same key as Windows 9 just a major update.

 

We could have many Windows 8's Just like you can have many Service packs. We might get to Windows 8.3 before Windows 9 comes out.

:drool:

My plans

Use DISM to enable .Net 3 OOTB, Change language and location, install product key.

Install on main client

Install GeForce expierance & GeForce Drivers

Install all applications and configure them

WDS capture image or sysprep.exe and any old disk imageing software

= Windows 8.1 baseline for NVidia Clients, All applications installed and configured OOTB. (Y)

 

Hope Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 are out early too.

My plan is to upgrade to 8.1 then take the data.dat from that upgraded install to make a custom install DVD. I am using Wndows 8 Pro with a free WMC key. I don't really want to have to install Windows 8.1 with one key and then add features and add my other key each install. 

If you make a Windows 8.1 Pro With WMC ISO using your own Data.dat that was activated with the upgrade WMC key you can install using the upgrade key using that custom ISO.

 

No need to install 8.1 pro then add WMC and no need to faff about downloading / updating or adding keys :) (the only issue is it will only activate after install one that one PC you got data.dat from) if you use this custom ISO on another machine even if you use a legit upgrade WMC key it won't activate (but will let you install it) and you will have to do phone activation. 

 

Plan on making one of these Custom ISO's for each machine :P Will add some drivers and things to them also so there won't be any need to install them after the Windows install is done.

I've really enjoyed Windows 8.1. The small improvements have made a huge difference for me. Having the same background in modern UI and desktop was good. Resizable tiles (at least having more options) was absolutely vital. And boot to desktop. The combination of these things has made Windows 8.1, from a decent OS to a good OS.

 

I think it still has flaws, like why the ###### isn't their a windows update link in the power menu (accessed from right clicking the start button), why do i have to right click that action centre icon. This bugs the hell outta me coz its so mind bogglingly obvious (anyone know any tweaks for this)? I never use modern apps but I absolutely love having the modern UI start because, rather than having a start button, I've customized things to like browser, security stuff, etc etc. I boot to desktop and also have the same icons pinned to my taskbar so its all good. Anyhow, I prefer Windows 8 to Windows 7. Just for the modern UI start. 

Stop being so anal geez! Nothing wrong with users of neowin downloading the RTM leak...Forget MS.. I rather download on my terms and not wait an extra month for nothing!

 

Yep nothing wrong with wanting it early. It's nice especially with a new operating system (I know this is not) it gives me time to test it out, make sure everything all works and learn all the tips and trick to it before general release. This is a heads up when the general release happens as I can advise customers better not only that but i can get some machines ready before general release. Better to have a machine ready to sell on day #1 of release and all tested than to wait for release and install / configure it and sell it a few days after. Time is money...

    • LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video. Loop a video / audio clip X times quickly without re-encoding LosslessCut 3.69.0 changelog: Add lossless cropping & aspect ratio override via bitstream and container metadata #643 Alow shifting tracks for each file (-itsoffset) #216 Add "decimate video" tool to filter away all non-keyframes #2111 Add Windows ARM 64 native build with native ffmpeg Move timecode out of timeline and make it copy-able #2592 #2691 #2800 #483 #2808 Upgrade Electron to latest Add new "opposing" align mode #2654 Add FFmpeg -hwaccel auto setting for hardware acceleration of certain operations Add API events export-start and export-complete Allow deleting track metadata #2819 Improve shift segments dialog #2839 Show keyboard shortcuts inside button tooltips in UI Warn if trying to cut with too few keyframes around cutpoint #516 #2780 #2756 (Linux) include app name in notification #2794 Pull latest translations Other notable changes: Advanced output directory selector #2101 #2115 #2755 increase max file name length to 250 (truncation) #2779 don't reset playback speed when using special playback modes #2889 preserve chapters when merging files that already have chapters don't merge adjacent segments in combineOverlappingSegments #2896 don't transfer segment name when filling gaps #2754 always scroll up to zoom in #2703 #2786 increase max keyframes to 10000 Don't bind ctrl/cmd+c by default (they interfer with copying text) Many other improvements and fixes Download: LosslessCut 3.69.0 | ARM64 | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Links: LosslessCut Website | Other Operating Systems | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Doesn't even need a UI for point 2 - use some sort of JSON/XML container - because MOST users won't even bother.
    • Legit concern or publicity stunt considering this is the first time I'm hearing the name?
