One big change is in the installation of 7137. It gives you the specifics of copying files ( xxx of 216mb) and gathering files 113,404 of 199,244 for instance. No big deal, but a big change.
It did that with me in the upgrade to 7000 from Vista.

What made you think that the Release Candidtate would not be representative of RTM? If you are not that impressed, buy a Mac.

Well honestly I was expecting some type of visual change sort of like the development of windows vista. It's technically been the same since build 6936. And also sorry i don't only have positive things to say about windows 7 sure it's an improvement but there are things that i'd also like to see and if me saying that is some kind of treason maybe i will get a mac :).

Well, it's a Release Candidate, so of course there won't be big changes anymore besides squishing bugs.

Still interesting to see that they already started working on sp1 with 7138, on a different branch, too (winmain-sp1).

Probably MS will release WIN7 as SP1, like they did to Win2008 server

What sense does that make? The reason they did it with 2008 was to synchronize it with Vista as it is the same OS and shares updates and service packs.

How does that apply to Windows 7?

The reason that they released Windows Server 2008 as SP1, was that it was built on the same core as Vista, which had got SP1 at that time. Win7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 builds on the same core, though no one of them has a SP1 released yet (as they are both in RC stage), thus I don't think they'll release Win7 as SP1.

I don't know, it's just a guess...??

Also they are working in parallel with server 2008 R2, maybe a sync between both?

Anyone know the current status/build of Server 2008 R2?

It's a pretty silly guess. Afaik:

Server 2008 R2 and Win 7 use the same codebase.

Server 2008 and Vista SP1 use the same codebase.

Where are you getting the "new" SP1 from?

They released Win2008 w/ SP1 because it was Vista SP1 with added server functionality, not a separate OS as was the case with Win2003.

Win2008 R2 again isn't Win2008, but Win7 with added server functionality (just like XP 64 wasn't XP, but Win2003 without server functionality).

With Win7 it wouldn't make sense to release it as SP1 right away.

Doesn't anyone remember an article stating that windows 7 sp1 would be released somewhere around the release of the rtm?..

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
