According to winfuture.de sources close to Microsoft have confirmed that the compilation of the final Windows 7 build has been rescheduled.

Although the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) branch of development is said to have been ready on June 12, it was not possible to create the final version of Windows 7 - actually planned for June 19 - because of bugs. What kind of problem affected the development is unknown.

Looks like they're referring to the silent elevation issue. It's probably not a bad idea that they fix that before RTM.

That's an issue that have been hanging around for months. It would amazing if Microsoft only seriously considered this now (assuming this is exactly what they're doing). Well, it's better to be late than never...

Might get more exposure in the Windows 7 Beta forum.

I hope they fix the router bugs and bluetooth issues as well. A lot of people I know, including me are experiencing them

that sounds more like driver problem.

i also had problem with Nokia USB untail they just updated PC suite , now everything running rock solid !

Release date is October 22 so they still have plenty of time.

Haha, no they don't :o! That's the date that it must be in stores, i.e shipped around the world, burn onto millions of discs and installed and tested on millions of PC's that will ship with it.

The new RTM release date they've set for themselves is apparently 13 July.

Fix the bugs, don't listen to fanboys.

I never installed any drivers before for my Wi-Fi router or DSL Modem. So I don't see what the driver problem could be. The problems have only come up after shifting to 7.

Latest update is that Windows 7 will be out after July 6th. I got this from my inside source.

It'll RTM after July 6th? No **** Sherlock. I find it funny when people say it'll be released after a certain date and not on a certain date, that's pretty much a given.

It's like saying Windows 7 will be released after January 1, 2009. Of course, right? Anyway, I just hope Microsoft sticks to the July 13 date for the RTM build.

Oh now, the anti-Microsoft campaign is starting again...

There has never been a bug with UAC. I agree with Microsoft about the issue; if a script can change the UAC, then it means that the security was already compromised to begin with. If OS X allows a user to write a script to change security settings (which can easily be done with keyboard/mouse emulation), does that man that the adminstrator security prompt is insecure....seriously...sigh

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
