On the "why not release it now, but in October" topic, I think it's in part because of the kind of distribution used (this perhaps takes some month alone *shrug*), and part also to find time to build "first day" patches for Windows 7 in case something serious was found in the RTM, to have ready for the OEM's in October.

In the time up until October 22nd.

There will be more generalised testing.

OEM companies will verify that they will have the software/hardware ready for when it's released.

Microsoft marketing kicking into play, making sure there is no problems during the RTM phase and general release.

There is a lot of work to be done before things are ready.

Boxed product takes time to produce, ship and distribute, incl. in-store marketing material, etc. Not everyone is interested in downloading an OS. The great majority gets it boxed or pre-installed with new PCs. Win7 new PCs will also take some time to reach distribution outlets and stores around the globe. All of this cannot be completed in 24 hours.

Like I mentioned earlier, I hope it is released soon so I can download it off Technet! My laptop is in a dire need of reformatting and I don't have time and I've also lost interest in constantly reformatting. So, usually now once it's installed I leave it for a year and a half or so. Don't want to put Vista, when the next issssssss sooooooooo close lol.

And everything else about that waiting time between RTM and GA is very appropriate. Think about albums and even games. Sometimes there's a month in between being done and availalbe for purchase. Software such as an OS is obviously much longer with all the the testing and everythig. Just as with Office, the waiting period is shorter (if I remember correctly).

Why do they bump the numbers up?

If the build numbers are just arbitary, then why not just let them increment up one by one?

It's common to set the build number manually for a gold release.

Just a quick question..

6.1.7600.16384

What does the 16384 stand for?

Good question... It's 4000 in hex, but I'm not sure what the significance would be.

Build has been locked.

We are waiting for the last minute driverset to see when it passes WHQL and then RTM-off, and deliver through official Channels.

They have made their decision on which build of the RTM candidates gets the ok. ( Unless again something HUGE changes this, I wouldn't count on such thing ).

For those who are wondering why the supposed RTM isn't available on MSDN/Technet, the answer is simple. Microsoft never makes an RTM build available to MSDN/Technet. General availability is always a couple of weeks after. I do not expect to see the RTM hitting the MSDN site before July 20th.

I thought general availability was when it was made available to the public?

i dont want moderator to delete my posts for asking mem to pm me!!! :shiftyninja:

If you don't like the rules, then trot off to a warez website where you are more likely to get your answer.

But we all know that it's NOT available on MSDN/Technet/Connect. Nor will it be for a while yet.

Nor have we actually confirmed that this IS the RTM version. Although, it's seeming plausible so far.

Myth : Busted Plausible ? :p

Plausible. The digital certificate on the installer EXE is valid, and it was only signed yesterday meaning the build is brand new. A jump in build number that big probably does certify that this is the RTM

I can't understand why if it's RTM-ing now/tomorrow why Keys can't be released and it sold/properly available this week. What's the wait for Oct 22nd GA? I know rtm means to manufacturing but it's not gonna change code by oct so why not release it for sale now?

First of all, Hardware manufacturers and software vendors generally use the time between RTM and general release to test their products, so that they can deliver drivers and updates for their software and hardware, also to allow OEM's to prepare for it. The software is released to manufacturing for that very reason, so it is ready when the public can get hold of it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
