Win7RC ISO doubt...


Recommended Posts

Hi, I, like many others, could not wait for the public release of the RC, so I downloaded it from a torrent site. Now that it has released, I checked the MD5 hash, but it does not match with the copy I downloaded. However, the setup.exe file on the iso has a valid digital signature by Microsoft.

Can I continue using the leaked copy, or should I get the official release?

If you have doubts you would be better off re-downloading from microsoft.

Yeah, I was wondering because Im on holiday just now, and it will be a long time before I am able to download it, would take me a year if I tried to download it now over GPRS!!

Oh well, lesson learnt, never download leaked copies!
