hi,
i see torrent leaks of build 7100. and now i see even the leaked 7106 builds. so, on may 5 microsoft will let you download 7100 or even newer rc build? i need to know this, because if i will download build 7100, and on may 5 ms will ship with even newer build then i will start to regret because my internet connection isnt super duper fast. but the problem is that i hate waiting, thats why im looking forward to torrents.
thanks
RTM will soon follow? RTM is scheduled to release in September, after RC2 in August.Windows 7 RC IS build 7100!!!I wouldn't worry about build 7106 or any after that as it is build 7100 that Microsoft will be allowing users to download on May 5th... IT IS THE RC.. The RTM will soon follow.. The build numbers for it will be slightly different than the RC's and the general public WILL NOT be given acess to that via the Microsoft site... Plain and simple... build 7100 is the RC and that is what you'll want to download on May 5th..
And as Pitt said, Build 7106 and so on are from the RTM branch.. which I wouldn't bother downloading as it will most likely be changed before final release anyway...

thanks, so now im downloading 7100, because im sure that on may 05 microsft will give us same 7100
OK, i obviously can trust you about this! But then, when are they gonna publish the new UI?As the others have stated, Microsoft says that Windows 7 will not have a second Release Candidate, they are pushing ahead with the RTM branch due to the overwhelming success of their current builds, and the very small number of bugs in current circulation.

When will the final version of Windows 7 be available?
The final engineering milestone is the release to manufacturing (RTM), typically 3-5 months after the RC. We believe the product is high quality and to date have received very positive feedback. This might result in RTM delivery before the 3-5 months timeframe. Ultimately, you'll decide the quality and assess the delivery once you download and use the RC. Customer and partner feedback will determine how quickly we release.
In case anyone is curious, this came straight from my Microsoft Partner Team email:
As Kyle has mentioned the builds have been received very well so far and there are very few issues left to address. Personally (and this is just my opinion) I think the RTM could be out as early as late July. I've got 4 engineers in my office that I've converted to Windows 7 and they all love it and have almost no issues (just some software incompatibilities, but they had issues with Vista as well). As quickly as M$ has been pushing ahead with W7 I don't think it'll take them long to get the RTM out.
