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.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
