I think they disable Windows 7 Ultimate & Enterprise downloads and key generators

They're directing you to download using Akami. You can still generate keys for those version on your key page, though... just not directly on the download page.

Oh that's MUUUCH better. I've been watching the MS download creep along for two hours. Akamai's moving at 1MB/s.

If I join TechNet will I have access to Windows 7 RTM? Is getting a copy that way just the same as having a legit retail copy?

Yes. The RTM TechNet is offering will be the exactly same thing as the copy that goes to stores October 22nd.

Yes. Remember it's for testing/evaluation only! ;)

I've got my copy of Ultimate X86, X64 and WAIK all completed. All done in 3 hours, w00t! :D

Damn. Now I have to format, lol.

Okay thanks, cause it actually will be cheaper this way as I have a decent coupon code.

Is the versions available Upgrades or Full copies? ie. You can do a clean install without any hassle?

I can agree that Akamai has been great to download with. Using FTM pretty much shot the download down to 50 KB/s~100 KB/s, but Akamai stayed at 700 KB/s to 1 MB/s consistently.

Also, apparently, downloading Ultimate and Enterprise now requires Akamai to use. they disabled regular download for those two editions.

Has anyone already finished downloading? And can tell whether all editions are included on the disc, or not?

You don't get to choose which version you install from the ISOs. If you download the Ultimate ISO, you get Ultimate. The only way to be able to choose which edition of 7 gets installed is to modify the ISO by removing the ei.cfg file from the sources folder.

I'm assuming some of you have installed RTM. How is it? Is it faster or slower than RC? Is there a netflix option in Windows Media Center like there is in Vista? I also noticed that my boot times on Windows 7 RC x64 bit is rather slow compared to the 32 bit beta so does anybody know if it boots up faster than RC?

Much, much better.

Don't really use Netflix or MCE often.

It boots faster to me.

i did the upgrade. but liike a dummy :wacko: i forgot to delete some movies on had on my laptop and this has been installing for several hours. i just wanted to see how my programs run then i am going to do a fresh install

So those lucky people out there who are running the final build, are there any significant changes since RC?

Feels slightly faster and no bugs that affect me have been found unlike the RC.

There's still a bug with the Acrobat plugin for browsers that has been there since the prebeta

But, I doubt there are really any significant changes since RC.

Need a help regarding eligibility for downloading RTM Version.

How do I know that I am eligible to download or not ?

I am using Windows 7 RC, previously I had also used BETA, but I am not able to download, or I had not got the link or an email from microsoft.

help.

Thanks.

    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux. I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux DXVK.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
    • That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list. 
    • So, the logo means No ducking AI?
    • For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
