With perhaps a sub-build still coming, I content 7600 is RTM. Here is my thinking....
1) WINVER shows no expiration date.... all previous builds have had an expiration date.
2) No watermark. All previous builds have had a watermark.
3) Previous RC serials don't work (although 7264 also fits that mold)
Obviously all of the above conditions change if you use the 7264 activation hack. I intend to leave it unactivated for the time being.
If this is the case, then the RC Builds are upgradeable to RTM if one uses the Full Ultimate Version (very expensive)
I intend to find out if another "lesser" Full Win 7 Version will work for an upgrade. How will I do that? I have removed the Ei.cfg file that enables accessing other versions. I will start a RC Ultimate upgrade from "RTM" Home Premium and report on the outcome. I will make a bet now that it will not work.
Respond to this if you see that my thinking is flawed......
