Pharos Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 so how can we confirm this is RC build? i don't remember vista doing that. Microsoft itself said they were on time to deliver the RC build by next month. This is probably NOT the build officially reaching out to everyone next month, but it almost seems obvious that this IS, in fact, an RC build.

matthewmarley Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The RTM will be 2009, Its but almost been confirmed by MS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdtaUK Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Microsoft wants to make it possible for people to upgrade from beta 7000, to RTM, and then instead of reverting to Vista or XP etc, to be able to buy a retail release of Windows 7 and install it from RTM. For some, like businesses, or just those who are unable to afford a new OS at launch. They can save up their money to buy it, or businesses who are testing deplyoments of Windows 7, can factor in the costs of upgrading permanently.

fix-this! Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The RTM will be 2009, Its but almost been confirmed by MS ! yeah but when in 2009 is the golden question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakeshishere Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Wrong. If you'll remember, the Vista RC builds didn't expire until around May of 2007, far after the release of RTM. If I recall, the RC builds usually have longer expiration periods. In that case, Windows 7 will RTM in month of October :p . or Atleast before Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdtaUK Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Complete by the start of summer with release to businesses and enterprises, with Retail to stores and OEM new PCs coming end of summer or start of Autumn, hopefully in time for Students starting College and Uni, looking for upgrades or new machines.

Mannlich Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i doubt it man, your pushing it. i stall say late fall or by x-mas. Why? That excludes them from a huge rush of people buying PCs for back to school. It would make perfect sense from a sales standpoint for them to have it available for Fall semester.

-=imaak=- Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The LogonUI graphic looks like it's straight out of DeviantArt. It looks quite nice, just not very Microsofty. No doubt it'll look beautiful on Best Buy's shelves, gleaming on rows of glossy laptops, but it just doesn't seem to match the toned-down simplicity the rest of the UI seems (seemed?) to be reaching for. :-/ lol ur right in a way it really looks like the images frm deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Live Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 who leaks all of these builds anyways? I think they release interim builds to their partners, ISV, OEM's and others. The builds aren't watermarked to the individual/org so it's only a matter of time before they're freed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inctye Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 When its x86, everyone goes crazy . But when one lucky build comes out for x64 only, most people whine. Sad. Oh well, at least I will gracefully sit out until another x64 leak comes out. The screenshots are looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
