Windows 7 RC available to Microsoft OEM Partners

[funkyblue]

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):

• The Bat
  
• Spotify
  
• Audition (online dance game)
  
• MyTheatre v4 (beta)
  
• AnyDVD
  
• NewsLeecher
  
• Cross Fire (some free shooter)
  
• Traktor DJ Thingy
  

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

Thanks

So when is this thing due to be released to a level that it will leak from?

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?

Ok, back to topic,...

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.

Guys, the XP comments aren't needed here. There's nothing wrong with it.

Stay on topic.

[wguimb]

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?

I certainly don't know at this time. We'll just have to wait and see. Unless someone has some info they are not spilling.

TechNet/MSDN subscribers will get it first before the general public

[wguimb]

TechNet/MSDN subscribers will get it first before the general public

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

[Inctye]

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.

[funkyblue]

They should "leak" is, so people download from torrents. Then again it didn't work with Win7 Beta as it was leaked a couple of weeks before it was public.

Looks like the chinese are leaking another build claiming it to be RC. x86 version, no seeds, small nova, most likely fake and in chinese language

Well if someone is seeding it, then I will wait for screenshots before saying anything more.

[wguimb]

It's being seeded but not directly.

The uploader is zh-hans and he has a history of putting up OS related torrents that were good. Maybe he is seeding it. Then will find out it is build 7000 in chinese. Hah!

Looks fake. ISO is not named properly.

[Snowl]

^ well, maybe he renamed it?

*facepalm

[vistademon]

2.64gb downloading now, no seeds.

Gonna try, not worried about the iso name, as stated could have been renamed.
