I still can't figure what apps use Themida. As I said on the Themida thread, I've got every app I had installed on Vista now installed on Win 7 (7077) and then some. Never had any issues with any app.

Top of the bug thread:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=757394

Since build 7077 all applications using Themida are instantly crashing with the following error message:

"Internal exception occured (Address: 0x0)" and some stuff about contacting the software developer.

Below a list of applications that were reported not to work in build 7077 (x86):

If you bumped onto another application that gives the same error, please PM/say something in this thread!

Thanks

OK. I see. Seems like an awfully small list.

In any event, this seems like an issue for Themida (or the application using Themida) to address. It's not up to Windows to accommodate

the app/drive/hardware. It's up to the app/drive/hardware companies to make themselves compatible with Windows 7. True?

Funny this section of forum along with xp section is more visited then Vista :laugh:

No surprise there. After people found out how :x Vista is, they started avoiding it.

If the rumours are true and partners are getting it on 5 March, then we'll probably see a leak around then.

On topic, a reputable person on another forum stated that a MVP in a Q&A session is indicating that the final RC build has not been set yet. But that a conference and announcement concerning RC will be made on May 5th, with possible general release on 5/9/2009. He adds this is all speculation since MSFT can change it at anytime.

He said, that she said, that when EF Hutton speaks people listen. LOL :p

So are technet guys getting it on May 5th or is the general public getting it on the 5th?

As you recall, we TechNet subscribers got it ONE day before the public, big deal......

Keep in mind, they did not expect such a big turnout for Win7 beta testing. All you Technet/MSDN subscribers were already overloading the download servers by the time it was released to the public the next day and things only got worse over the course of the weekend. So yeah, you might have not gotten the priority experience a subscriber would expect. For that reason, I see MS releasing RC to OEMs early as a sign they will not underestimate the demand again and will release to subscribers probably one week before the public to give all of you ample time to get it downloaded at good speeds.
