About this tag
The pre-final tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Windows release candidates, RTM builds, and general availability dates. Topics include RC expiration timelines, build numbers like 7100, and the transition from pre-release to final versions. Users share information about bi-hourly shutdowns that begin after the RC expires and clarify conflicting details about release schedules. The tag is useful for those tracking Windows 7 pre-final builds and understanding the lifecycle of pre-release software.

    Windows 7 Alright, let's get some things straight...

    Hey all, As I look through the boards I'm noticing alot (too many) of new threads that ultimately are all talking about the exact same things.. These things include: RTM release date, GA release date, RC Expiration, etc.. I just wanted to take a minute and try to sort some of these things...
