Microsoft Denies Windows 7 Has Gone Gold


Recommended Posts

Build 7600 is likely the final, but the revision number (16384) will probably increase.

I'm unsure how many more times I'll have to repeat this.

This was what happened with Vista too. Do we really have such a short memory?

Glad someone else understands it all too...!

So much confusion over such a simple thing. Funny what time and impatience can do to people.

I can wait a few more days for the final version of the final build.

No, our memory is fine. But there are a thousand or so idiots who sign up to Neowin every time some major tech event is upon us and this time is no different. Warez can i get teh Windowz releeze to manfacture?

Well I downloaded this so-called RTM to try it out and verify the no-limit deal someone mentioned here and yes there is a 30 day limit to use it. It MUST be activated, unlike someone earlier who said that RTM's are not limited in any way.

They were talking about having an evaluation time limit -- as in the software will expire in March of 2010 etc. What you are talking about is the 30 day activation limit.

What they probably meant is that the Rtm has no expiry date, i.e. it will run unlimited once activated.

As there isn't any expiry date listed in the version screen, this seems to be true.

The 30-day-limit is only for activation.
