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.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
    • Look who's back!
    • I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
