Do not ask for download links in this thread. People who ask about or talk about downloading the RTM of windows 7 off of the internet will be warned.

Were not allowed to talk about downloading from MSDN either seeing that's over the internet? Just to be clear

BILL VEGHTE: Good morning. How is everyone doing out there? (Applause.) All right. You watch that video, it's such an exciting time. It is such an exciting time. This morning we will release Windows 7 to manufacturing, and we write that next chapter, we go after that opportunity. And when you think about the story of Windows, and you think about that story, and you all have written that history. You think about Windows, and over the world you've got over a billion people, over a billion people, depending on what you do. More people speak the language of Windows than speak the English language. And that opportunity, and that value, that incredible simplicity, that broad a set of choices, that's what you've done.

Haha. Nice find.

Who said that?

Judging by Microsoft's RTM builds of previous versions of windows, they like to keep the first 4 digits of RTM an easy even number. So 7600 is most likely to stay. As for the second 5 digit series, it can be one of these: 7600.16384 (current), 7600.16385, or 7600.16386. Note that Vista RTMed at 6000.16386. I personally don't think MS will round it to 7600.17000 as WZOR has suggested.

Classic MS mistake of not fully editing their press material drafts. Wzor and Neowin were both right on the July 13 date, that was the original date that was targeted internally. We noted the mistake here too.

OK - so we will have just substring implementions... If I decide to just keep using this build, will there be any problem? Windows update, my future key and anything else, would it all work?

You should be fine.

I installed one of RTM candidates of XP before it was signed gold. I didn't have any problems at all.

Actually, I have talked to other with the same problem (aero stutter)@guru3D.com, and all with the problem have high-end rigs(quad-cores, nvidia 250 or higher)..so it almost seems like 7 aint optimized for good comps.

Sounds wierd, but who knows.

Maybe they have been focusing too much on lower-end comps lol.

Not true. My computer runs windows 7 7600 x64 perfectly. And with some benchmarks, it is killing vistas performance. Your problem is driver issues, which you should look into. Also, check your Event Viewer for errors.

Actually Aero does stutter and i have GTX280SLI setup with latest installed drivers. Also no event viewer errors. I am sure future drivers will fix it. It's not bad though, you can notice sometimes, but nothing annoying. It happens when you open or close window. People are reporting same issue on ATI and Nvidia cards.

    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
    • Man, the memories.
    • Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
