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.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
