Windows 7 RC available to Microsoft OEM Partners

[FISKER_Q]

Because there is only going to be 1 RC, that's why.

Also, I want to see digital signatures of the setup files as please.

What i meant is that it doesn't usually say "RC1", "Beta1", etc. like that.

Just wondering why, all of a sudden, it did.

Btw don't go there with "1 RC", spent a day arguing with a guy whether or not it was called "RC" or "RC1" because there wouldn't be a "RC2 :D

[fix-this!]

so then this baby will probably leak tonight since it is in the wild already. :woot:

From the dell guy..

[fix-this!]

fake without doubt.

:wacko: ... you guys always think it's fake until it leaks.

[Luis Mazza]

FAKE... RC1 is completely out of sync at pixel level.

[FISKER_Q]

Version 7.0 ???

Good spotted, didn't they specifically say that Windows 7 wouldn't be version 7.0?

[crazlunatic]

I was referring to the screenshot that is. There will be a leak soon (maybe not too soon) but it will happen if it was really issued to TAP partners

and the Real Fake debate begins

It doesn't have to be a debate, because obviously it is a FAKE. If someone wants to believe at something, go grab X-Files All seasons and found a conspiracy-alien religion.

Haha Windows 7 is currently and will always be version 6.1

[maccik]

Absolutly fake .....

[mrrampage]

however ..Version 7.0 (Build 7200)" seems out of place.

[ToneKnee]

God forbid we get that Russian leaker where it takes days to actually get the leak. :p

[consume]

Sure there might be a leak soon but that screen shot is absolutley fake. Look at the difference in fonts between the kernel and build number and the rest of the words in that window.

Agrees

Shame they are shafting their testers to supply the builds to their partners, but kinda inevitable I guess considering they make the vast majority of their profit through OEM's

As I mentioned in another thread, MS is trying avoid the same inconveniences their subscribers went through for beta. I did not expect them to release a full two weeks early, but it makes sense to make sure msdn/technet subscribers all get priority and good download speeds. With that said, it will surely leak by the end of the week since are at least a few subscribers on neowin itself who will be able to have a downloaded copy in the next couple days. Be patient. This has been annoying for me as well since I decided to hold out on 7077/7106 hoping RC would already be out by now. And of course, nothing materialized.

And yes, we are all Win7 junkies who are also part of the beta junkie family.

Even if RC is only released to OEM's at this time, we will get the leak in about 3/4 days tops...
