the digital signature confirms the authenticity of the build. thanks for the info!

Read the rest? the signature can comfirm the authenticity of anything but doesnt confirm that its the actual FINAL RTM

Besides i didnt say the leak wasnt authentic.

Might be that the previous builds had several show stoppers and this build fixed them, also, do remember that any future bugs can be fixed with patches. So as long as the there is no bug that can stop the functionality/stability/reliability of the operating system, they can just RTM it and fix the bug in like a week or so

True

And thers always the possibility that all those showstopper bugs was just b/s and rumor...

Could be ^^

It was bull****. Brandon Live confirmed here on Neowin that those rumors were all fake.

This pretty much confirms RTM is 7600, but still it might not be this exact build, though the chances are high it will be.

ok well ive lost my scepticism, i believe you guys :p

But has it actually leaked yet? or is someone from M$ Teasing us with a setup.exe file :p?

You're so cool when you use 'M$' :rolleyes:

And no, someone from 'M$' is teasing us with a stupid setup file, it's probably just the leaker showing that it's legit.

no it has not leaked as yet but will happen soon & will be able to spot on trackers.

If these screen shots are true, we can see no new icons, no modified skin and I'll guess no new sounds..

So I'll guess again that all the GUI mess at 7task force will continue to 8task force..

I love 7 and already use it in all my machines even 2008R2, but I was expecting a more polished GUI by RTM.. :(

Then you were deluding yourself. Microsoft would not make such a major change to the code base as to replace the GUI between RC and Final. Adding some icons, wallpapers, screensavers, etc, maybe... but the whole GUI, not a chance!

mkay, ive been doing that for a while and im not the only one, nothing to do with cool just goes by itself.

for the rest im just curious like many others..

win 7 rtm is being uploaded from M$ china site!!!

see?

thurrott has been wrong many times in the past. and a new UI was not expected this late in development cycle after RC.

Thurrott always just makes something up just so he has something to write about. Any rational beta tester knows that RC never gets dramatic UI changes. At the most, it might be very minor tweaks, but most of those will go unnoticed.

Wouldn't the FINAL RTM .iso file leak to MSDN/Technet users and they in turn start "sharing" it? How can it just look like that? It makes me feel it ain't the FINAL RTM but rather just one of the builds they will choose before RTM comes.

What the hell do you mean by "birdie"? You mean a bird? Or do you mean "buddy."

Yes... we mean a real bird. One that flew right from Redmond.

As we aren't allowed to post links or talk too much details, you can find the links and more info on the usual sites. It'll be widely available soon :) But still it may not be the final build

    • Windows 8 and Vista were far worse. Both of those got marginally better at the very end. Just look at their adoption rates and support life-span. If those versions had as much social media in their time they would have ripped apart unmercifully.
    • I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
