You may want to clean up your post. Mentions of sites and direct links to torrents of Windows builds/leaks is STRICTLY PROHIBITED on the Neowin Forums.

its "legit" like every other leak will be legit, unless you will wait for public download :)

hey this is the second time youve given me such a response and i'm not sure you understand.

what i mean by legit is whether its the actual RC release and not whether its authentic MS release vs pirated release.

Question- Isn't there a chance that the earlier "RC" release to te partners and all, might that be not the final RC since they will get reports of any bugs for the one thats "been released" already? Should we all wait til May 5, or is the partners RC going to be exactly the one that will be released for May 5? Anyone thats knowledgable enough to answer this question? Thanks.

Partners Public RC will be the same as the Public RC released to Home users and everyone via Microsoft site.

My partner membership is still pending approval by my company. 7100 has not been posted yet anywhere yet except TAP Gold. Just be patient, it will come.....

Being a partner is worth sh*t...

or would you get a special partner membership ? Like the OEMs, Large volume sellers etc. that would be something ...

Almost 12days left for May 5... and still no sign of real RC on the internet to download :( . I thought it might leak a bit early similar to beta but this shows that May 5 may or may not be actual date when RC might show up

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
