jesus man, think about it. quit praying for an early release, it will be 2010 and this confirms it in my mind.

I rather wait 3-6 months longer, if it will mean a fast, stable OS. I do not want them to rush it.

so how can we confirm this is RC build? i don't remember vista doing that.

:rolleyes:

Just because vista did something, doesn't mean 7 will need to do the same..

Microsoft is literally obsessed with BLUE in Windows 7.

they always have. Think back to 3.1 - XP, blue title bars. In XP, a blue taskbar and start menu. I think Microsoft is more obessed with the light washed out fell in 7.

Woah, the mininova one increased a lot!!! <2 hrs for me!

im sure x64 will be leaked by this weekend. give it a few days and the torrents will be up all over the place.

Yeah i wouldn't be surprised, I'm sure it will be within a week, it took about 5 days for the x86 7048 to come out after the x64.

Any noticable changed from 7048 ?

I kinda doubt that as it's that close (besides the log-in/off screens), but who knows...

As long as there's no 64-bit version of it, I'll definitely skip it, anyway :no:

Has it even been confirmed that this is even a legit build? I seriously have my doubts about the build and the expiration date being a sign of a release next year. Why waste the time pushing a public beta and release candidate branches now for it to RTM next year? Makes absolutely no sense.

That's how I see it as well.

If this is real, that green should be yellow/orange which is the accent colour used for Windows 7 ribbon and new Windows 7 Icons

Yes - while the green doesn't look bad, it looks somewhat out of place. It should be orange to be in line with their actual colour theme.

Oh well, at least I will gracefully sit out until another x64 leak comes out.

Same here.

Мои дорогие русские друзья! Вы пожалуйста послали бы версию 64 битов? Большое спасибо!

(Hope that's correct...)

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
