this very well could be final, just wait and see, i bet it is though :D

aaa beta fish!

anyways installed it, installed the new intel inf drivers ati catalyst and creative beta drivers, seems to work like any other build.

still Dont think this is the final tho, i just dont believe it yet :)

oke. Installed the X64 version. Very fast install, and all my drivers are working great (just needed to download the G19 keyboard driver manually).

It doesn't show a buildtag, it is the build that was announced as RTM, and it is just as fast as the other builds I tried. I can hear a new sound when changing the theme, just the sound scheme which is made for the theme. But I suppose that was already in the other builds (7077 was my latest). Didn't find any new icons as far as I know.

Yeah, the new sounds were in previous builds.

A real RTM ISO would ask for the edition to install: Ultimate, Professional or Home Premium. The one that leaked doesn't, therefore it is not genuine RTM. It's probably compiled from final code though.

Exactly! .. looks like the 'leaker' jumped the gun ..

It's going to take a few hours for me to get the torrent at the rate it's coming down at the mo .. and by that time Microsoft may have announced something! .. we'll soon see I suppose!

It's possible they changed this for Windows 7. Even though the install packages are universal, by default the DVD (and this ISO) installs the version of Windows 7 that the box indicates.

the last build i installed was 7129 and it came with some relatively old nvidia drivers built in. This 7600 build doesnt have any nvidia drivers for my Nvidia 9400M laptop graphics card and they dont appear on windows update either. Did this change only happen with 7600 or has this been the case for a few builds?

i was a bit annoyed that i had to go to nvidia.com to download drivers, there should be latest whql drivers integrating into windows7 by default:(

i suppose it is possible they changed the way it was done, although i would have thought it would be easier for microsoft to just have one dvd to burn millions of copies off as apposed to a dvd for each version.

i hope this is RTM i've been loving using build 7264 but i am reluctant to wipe a working system on an uncornfirmed RTM build, lets wait and see what microsoft have to say.

Also having a brother who works at Redmond I can say that at Microsoft they have a server which is widely available to all its employees that work their. Versions of Windows that are on their are all different as one is Home, one is Ultimate, and another can be one which includes all these versions. This meaning that the person who leaked it may have grabbed the Ultimate version.

Still have that aero stutter-lag bug when closin\opening windows\apps\boxes.

Frustrating!

It's not fault of the OS. It's the powermizer settings in the GPU drivers that underclocks the GPU to save power etc. underclocks it alot...

also you can disable the animations for maximising and minimising in control panel - performance and effects - visual effects. its about 4 or 5 from the top, i have it disabled as the animating is annoying and distracting.

i have some stutter in aero aswell with 2 ATI cards, its not really stuttering its like it skips a couple of frames upon closing windows, its not as smooth as vista thats for sure.. and ive had this with every win7 build.

Well, this is a desktop pc,not a laptop.

I know I can disable the animations, but since Vista I have getting addicted to the animations.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
