About this tag
The tag 'gold code' refers to the final release candidate build of a software product, specifically in the context of Windows 7 development. In the Windows 7 roadmap, the gold code is the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) final build target, which is signed off before the official RTM release. This term is used to denote the version that is considered complete and ready for distribution to manufacturers. Discussions on WindowsForum.com about gold code focus on the development timeline and milestones leading up to the final release of Windows 7.
