:blink: umm.. where did you hear this from?

PC Beta, I hate to get another warning just for posting forum link, if you confirm it's OK then I'll post the thread link.

And who says this is RTM??????

From what I have heard Windows 7 willl not hit RTM until Augest!

I know, the better word is pre-RTM. :)

This kind of looks fake. With the RC just released, I do not think this will be the RTM if it is infact true. Since when do you check mark items you want to download?

It's the RTM branch. not the actual RTM. Also, I think RTM will finish on 7200 I think, certainly heading that way.

What are we seeing here? Looks like screenshots of Explorer and Firefox opened in IE? Why? Who has IE as the default image viewer? Smells fishy to me...

This is a creen-shot of my IE8 viewing the screen-shot of that guy's explorer and firefox.

To fake the explorer downloading is relatively simple, but to fake all that build strings of Connect? It takes quite a lot of trouble, who would do that just to post a screen-shot in the first place?

Well given that it's been found that some of the leaked builds including the RC came with a trojan that software scanners couldn't detect that allowed the author to collect data including bank card details and your address I won't be using any more leaked builds. It's far too risky and you never know what's been done to it especially if anti virus/spyware/malware programs can't detect possible trojans.

I do agree there is always risk using leaked builds, BUT just depends from what source they are and until now russians never let us down, you know until you burn once its fine to play with a fire :) (and not like im using computer for anything "important")

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.

      Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
