7100.0.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700

It seems like we're finally at the end of the line here, with the expected build jump having happened, and the Windows 7 RC is done as of yesterday.

I've seen no other news on this yet.

FWIW, the latest main branch build that I've seen is 7115.0.winmain.090421-1650

Hopefully it will get posted on Connect so us tech beta testers will actually get something before the public does, like its supposed to be. I have never understood Sinofsky's reasoning behind "it takes to long to prepare a build" for beta testers so we just won't give them anything. During the Vista beta we got tons of builds, I can understand how THAT would of wasted alot of time that could of been used to fix bugs but not giving us at least one official private build is just rediculous. I mean obviously MS is probably the one behind all these leaks but if they already have all these builds to give out why not give them out officially. CTPs don't have to be thoroughly tested and thats what these leaks are basically.

Sorry if Im sounding like a broken record. Im sure plenty of people have already asked this question.

The compilation date matches perfectly in line with the previous reports that OEMs would be getting RC yesterday. The question now is when Technet/MSDN subscribers can start downloading.

Yes, after I posted that thing I remembered what was posted about OEM's the other day. :p So we really saw this coming already. But yeah, I guess one can see it as a confirmation in numbers. I can't really imagine a high profile release like this taking long to leak either, and I hope it won't take long for us to get it on MSDN.

Feel like an idiot testing Windows 7 for Microsoft, why did they even select us testers when they just wanted to give us one beta build ? i mean come on Microsoft, why the harsh treatment, the least they can do is to release the RC build to us testers first.

I mean obviously MS is probably the one behind all these leaks

Yes... obviously...

Wrong thread?

Good to see Windows 7 coming along nicely, hope to see the final RTM build sometime soon!

Um yea, if you do require further explanation... I had 2 thread windows open, and was posting a reply, and did it in the.. wrong thread...

you know honestly i dont see why Microsoft just dont come out and say well we wont leak any but if we do go ahead run them and help us squash any bugs that effects your day to day life in the builds. i think would help qualify Microsoft to get windows 7 out the door sooner then what they probably was thinking of doing even if it is only 1 month sooner or 3 weeks sooner that be a help.

Microsoft is probably the one behind all these leaks. It makes testing and finding bugs so much easier when you have thousands, if not millions of bug testers doing your job for you

Yes, there's a good chance for that.

Anyway, I'm sure the RC will come our way soon enough. However, I'm more interested in Build 7115 ;)

More interest in an unofficial leaked build over the official RC? Okay then. :blink:

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
