Win7-RTM, when will be the MSDN/Technet release?

[The Patri0t]

I heard the win7 RTM is delayed by show stopping bugs which have something to do with activation - Anyone else hear anything about this and if so is it a rumour or is it true ?? :|

rumour for now

[digital_sc4rz]

I hope it stays like this !! :D Cause i'm loving the RC and cant wait for the RTM

rumour for now

[joontje]

Site THEVISTA .ru uncovered confirmation of our information about how that partners will receive Windows 7 in the very end of July, and if more accurately the 24 July 2009, the way the end of July we mentioned back in early March this year: "... inside Microsoft expected final build (the create test and master images) RTM release Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 at the last week of July".

Shameless copy-translate-paste from wzor.

[digital_sc4rz]

I hope thats not true and i hope we do see the release this Monday :)

[qdave]

I hope thats not true and i hope we do see the release this Monday :)

an extra weeks wait would not be so much!

[digital_sc4rz]

Guess so -- Just looking forward to it :)

[Phemo]

I hope thats not true and i hope we do see the release this Monday :)

Release? I don't recall anyone ever saying that there'd be a release on monday, just that it gets announced as being RTM. That doesn't mean it'll be available on Technet etc on Monday though so don't get your hopes up.

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.

The grass had grown slightly taller lol. :sleep: :sleep:

6.1.7272.0.win7_rtm.090710-1900

True; however, it's believed (or assumed) that Microsoft will make it available to MSDN/TechNet subscribers and partners on Monday or sometime this week.

Phemo is actually correct. Microsoft will talk about Windows 7 in many sessions all next week at the WPC09 in New Orleans. They may even announce to the crowd during Ballmer's keynote address on Tuesday that their engineers have agreed on the final bits. Once it is released to the major selected partners/testers, and they have had a chance to evaluate for at least a week or so, then it could go to MSDN/TechNet/all partners. The date I heard was the week of July 24th for that to happen. Will one of the selected partners leak it, maybe. Will one of the MSDN or TechNet subscription users leak it, undoubtedly.

That "anyone" is Neowin News, goto page 1, post#1 and see the quote.

btw, saw segobi enquiring in tor-ru on the 7600 thing, I can tell from here, it is most probably real, I know who is behind the info. I had never mentioned rtm to be 7300 as I had some tip-off recently.

And...... don't dream of a 2nd 7106, the link is dead, the guy who did it is also.....stone dead. :no:

OK, guys, seems the long wait would be over really soon. :whistle:

A few hours ago, PCBeta had a post stating that "from sources of MS China", the Win7 RTM build is :

7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945

WZOR has not reported yet, but on the tor.ru forums, seems he is waiting for a confirmation on the build string:

7600.16386 xxxx

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: WZOR just officially announced :

7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945

[Richard Hammond]

Well considering its July 12th and it says a leak on the 10th in that pic i think that pic is a bit wrong :p

Trust Onyx ! :cool:

Some more info.

The process of Release assembly engineering keeps being on track, while RTM build number has already been locked ( unless Something Huge unexpected ). Don't believe in rumors that some critical system bug was found that slowed the process. Typical FUD.

The only possible alterness of Release roadmap the last hours is the timeframe of public RTM availability. Two of the most important Vendors brought the last hour @ hardware quality labs new driversets, demanding inclusion and dropping the previous ones ( due to problems they caused ).

The process of changing the driver pack at the last moment, might delay at the worst few days the public release. Most expected is that WHQL will complete within few hours the driver check so RTM schedule is on track.

Thanks again go to one of our good friend.
