I'm installing 7600 RTM because quite frankly, all sources point to RTM. I'll re-arm it for 120days extension and then activate with my retail Pro (or premium depending on if outlook for a RDP patch is good) key once they arrive in the mail \m/.

I am going to laugh at everyone that is downloading and installing the leak, only to find out, it's not final.

Why are you laughing, strange thing to do, I downloaded and installed this because it is a newer build then then one I have, I don't care if it's RTM or not, get that one from Technet if they up it there, and if it turns out to be RTM, I just get the key from Technet.

I just think its funny people are telling everyone else it is RTM when there is no announcement

to all the fools "laughing" at those who are installing? you do realise that even if it isnt rtm, it's the latest and nearest to rtm build there is, so even if there is a newer build a simple upgrade will suffice.

why wait for an official announcement, its just stupid.

See it like this: He clearly doesn't have much else going on in his life. ;)

no but you can extend the activation period to 120 days, by which time i'll have my legit keys.

Good point. But I'm happy with the RC for now. I'm gonna wait until I know Asus have working 7 drivers for my Xonar. Apparently the drivers stopped working in the later 7 builds.

Format C? My C drive is getting taken out, I'm buying another Samsung F1 just for Win7 because if it is indeed RTM then all I will do is bung C drive into my external caddy and it will become my 2nd backup drive :p

Drives are so cheap now, ?40 for 500GB !

There is a patch released by a user on Asus' forum which sorted out any Windows 7 issues with Xonar cards.

Thanks for the heads-up. Unless they've managed to bork Punkbuster then RTM should be good-to-go for me when the time comes.

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
