Cool, so this one that's on that nova thing is fake, can we nip this thread in the bud or something, before we end up with 200 posts that all say exactly what percentage of what torrent they happen to be at giving us the point by point reports as it progresses? Thanks...

It'll be out when it's out, people, geezus, go for a walk or something. :)

Bit lame really that the build is going to leak before testers get access to it. Microsoft have been shafting their testers quiet a bit of late

Oh, boo-hoo. Are you an equipment manufacturer that pre-loads a Microsoft operating system? Do you develop software for the Windows platform and pay the ridiculously high subcription fees? No?

Your name was drawn out of a hat. I fail to see how you're being 'shafted.'

EDIT: Doesn't matter, read the post wrong. ??

Anyway, to add something to this post...If 7100 is leaked them rest assured MS won't be happy at all, and neither will any of the testers that pay for things like this.

MS would be least worried for RC leaking ahead of the public release because there isn't much time in it. There is also nothing secretive or super buggy in that build to be concerned if it leaks a week early. Testers don't pay for testing these things.

Don't close the thread, it's not that long. We are all waiting for a *real* leak of build 7100 or RTM build 7115+. We already know for sure that those builds exist and they are in the hands of OEM's and TAP Gold. We also know that the signoff for 7100 will happen in few days. When that happens, either it will leak or be more broadly available via TechNet or MSDN. smile.png

I think you're right. MSFT might like to see a leak at this time. It would let them get some unofficial feedback and telemetry before they commit to a public RC without be 'responsible' for it. Then they could 'adjust' dates accordingly, since they have not committed to a date.

Why does 7115 have any significance? Won't it just be some less stable RTM branch build compared to the official RC?

That's because windows 7 betas are so stable already for a lot of people that it doesn't really need to be more stable for a lot of us and we rather have the latest code base.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
