according to this win7 might be announced as having gone RTM on monday: https://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/07/08/m...-os-next-monday

I'm pretty sure Microsoft is announcing a new browser call Gazelle, that will compete with Google's Chrome OS.

So far, the purported sign-off date for Windows 7 RTM is July 13. And that's a Monday. :)

I doubt it. Announcing Windows 7 RTM ? a significant milestone for Micorosft ? would only make sense. The RTM build is expected to be signed-off on July 13 (which is a Monday) and I doubt Microsoft would announce a new browser. Of course, I could be wrong. Microsoft may use this as a counter to Google's Chrome OS.

Looks like the dates may not be correct due to a show stopper bug.

Windows 7 RTM Update: Roadmap Possibly Altered

Initially, we reported that the RTM build was going to be officially signed off and announced on July 13th. At the time, Windows 7 was proceeding on schedule and several internal sources in Microsoft both close to GeekSmack and other sites have told us that the RTM was in fact coming on July 13th. However, it seems like due to several show stopper bugs, one that we think has to do with activation, the RTM build has been delayed from the initial date.

Today was pretty much the deadline that Microsoft internally set to choose and decide on an RTM build, but from what we?re now hearing none of the builds thus far have been deemed good enough, and so they?re continuing to compile RTM candidate builds. Backing this, in the recent Microsoft press release regarding the executive re-shuffle, they stated this: ?The transition between Reller and Veghte is timed to take place in late July when Windows 7 reaches the release to manufacturing (RTM) milestone?.

Again, when we initially reported on the matter, internal sources and other forms of evidence led us to believe that the RTM was coming, and I can safely say that at the time it was confirmed and it was going to happen, but with these new show-stopper bugs present Microsoft had to make a change to the roadmap to accommodate the time it will take to iron them out.

UPDATE: We now have some new build numbers, courtesy of WZor:

6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110 - Leaked June 17, 2009 (VHD and ISO)

Yeah, it's like watching grass grow. LOL.

I heard Ballmer gave the development team a few days off for the 4th of July weekend. Then it was back to the grindstone. Notice there were two builds back to back recently. They are trying to get it together and probably working through the weekend.

Yes, if they want to make it in time for Monday, they'll probably have to work on the weekend.

Otherwise, if the 7271 build they did Friday turns out fine, they could make that one the final Rtm.

Who said it would? (With confirmed source.)

Yep... Nobody. Monday isn't likely, but i'm hoping for "this week" :yes:

Referring to general Technet availability, that is ;)

I thought the show-stopper bug would delay it somehow. Hopefully, it won't delay it at all. My TechNet subscription is waiting to be "used" once Windows 7 RTM is made available. :p

      AFAIK you shouldn't be getting a consent popup at all from Canada, so I think it is to do with a VPN or private/secure DNS.
