Well, MS confirmed that it's not final RTM. I just won 10 internets.

Nope, they have not confirmed that 7600 isn't the RTM. Neither have they said it will be.

Who cares anyway.

MSDN & TechNet Subscribers: Subscribers will be able to download the final version of Windows 7 a few weeks after we announce RTM.

This is what I care about, Now I have this build, that is near final, and a few weeks later, I will get it legally from Technet :)

you don't believe in numerology? the study of numbers? Everything in life happens because of number sequences...build 7600? you will become rich and live a meaningful life. Build 7601? The Mayans were right and the world ends in 3 years. see what i mean? It's all in the numbers dude.

Hey guiez my calandar endz at December 31st 2009 so da world is going to end der i dont see any 2010 calanderz!!!

Seriously. The Mayan's didn't really want to plan past a thousand years+ (or less) so they didn't create the calendar.

Seriously.

I'm starting to get annoyed with all these OMGOMGOMOGM ZOMFG ITS NOT RTM threads all over the net.

Jeez.

I'm more annoyed by people trying to brag about how they called it out on not being the final build. Like they should be rewarded. Even though they were far from the first to say it probably wasn't the actual final build.

They haven't confirmed anything about specific build numbers. Your title was wrong as it was "7600 is NOT RTM" so I have changed it. 7600 is still RTM.

They said RTM is not finished, right?

So if this one was leaked and they haven't finished the final rtm yet, that makes leaked build not final rtm, right?

Why are you so obsessed with this? It'll be done in a couple weeks anyway. Now you're just starting to get really dramatic over nothing.

No it does not. They have not finished the final RTM yet, it means what it means, they have not choosen the final build to be used, do you think they compile it, and then an hour later announce it ?

They probably take at least a few days to properly test it.

I doubt the leaked build will be the RTM, it still could easily be though.

No, that's a clueless statement just like your thread title here. Going around the forums spreading misinformation when you have no clue whatsoever to how the build process works is reckless. I am not saying I know every last detail about the build process but over the years I have visited the Redmond build labs, Windows team and various different teams involved in the build process for previous versions of Windows. Unless things have changed rapidly since the last Windows beta (Vista) then they compile the RTM build and test it vigorously, this doesn't mean that 7600.16384 has been ditched because they have said they are not ready to announce RTM, it simply means they might not be finished testing it fully. On the flip side it could mean that 16385 is on its way and will require the same testing. Either way from experience of past Windows betas it's a safe bet that 7600 is the RTM build number and we are just waiting confirmation on the specific subset build (the 16384) number.

In my own personal opinion I believe 16384 might not be RTM as I know that they had planned to announce it yesterday and they even put a press release out about it yesterday by mistake (more info about that here). Either they need to perform some additional checks on it or they decided Ballmer was best to announce it or that 16385 is on its way and they start the checks again. Time will tell :)

UPDATE: looks like 16385 could have been compiled but it's worth noting that it appears to be only the WDK at the moment and not the client. Unclear right now.

I couldn't see a good reason why you closed my thread, so this is the last post I am putting up on Neowin, bye!!

Bye

OK, I changed my mind, I understand your reason is to keep it in few and early threads, and there is this thread not only earliest on starting, but earliest in reporting and confirming the RTM build 7600.16384. I'll stick to it until the confirmed RTM Final Build(I expect to make the earliest report too). :D

Yeah. It's just getting irritating and confusing for all seeing so many threads about the same thing.

Mr. Tom W: just a matter of interest, how come my thread reporting and confirming the build 16385 with all kinds of facts were locked, and another new guy just starting a thread of 16385 with no supporting material were OK? :blink:

Edit: just saw another new guy started another new thread............

Well, Wzor was correct. Windows 7 is RTM (13 July).

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/wa...009keynote.mspx

Edit: ****, wrong thread.

The scheduled rtm build day was Friday and the sign off on monday. After some issues with build 7600.16384 the rtm release schedule is delayed.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
