Sorry this Beta release of Win 7 you downloaded and burned into a DVD did not work out well for you.
"Beta" by definition is a software that has "features" the developer envisaged that the user might like and want but also includes "Bugs" that would become more apparent during the "real world" situation when ordinary user (not softeware engineers) puts it to use. Microsoft while contacting us to "test" this software was quite explicit in warning us about its potential 'side effects", asked us to take reasonable safeguards of our existing system and personal data against their loss from unexpected "crash" and also suggested to us some tools to test our system to verify whether or not our existing hardware and software environment would be compatible for the use of Win7. Microsoft urged us to report back our experience with this Beta release.
It is my undestanding that when the software reaches the "Beta" stage in its development ,it has reached "full maturity" from the "Features" point and usually there wouldn't be any more additional "Features" to the software. Therefore, this
Beta 7 Build 7000 Microsoft allowed us to download and any other Builds you might have heard about or come across would give the Beta testers a "preview" of what to expect from Windows 7 [they might compare this with earlier versions of Windows, perhaps MACs and Linux Distros in various aspects]. Once enough Beta Test results both closed and open [especially the bad "side effects" the testers report back or the Crash "reports Microsoft collects with your permission (you are asked to send after an "Event" -
BSOD) ]are collated , analyzed and the "
bugs" are
"fixed (hopefully
) then , the so called
RC (Release Candidate) with a potential for final release- unless a last minute
fatal bug report "
stops the launch "[reminds me of the Space craft sitting on the launching pad on final count down .. "Is it a Go or Abort by the Mission Control..
."] -comes out. RC is code complete and no new source code will be added at this stage.
The next stage is the
RTM [
Release
To
Marketing (
Manufacturing)] or the so called
"Gold Edition" the software Image that might in future comes with SP (Sevice Packs) with additional bug fixes and refinements once mass distribution and use result in additional bug reports and security issues. I guess your question whether the
RC is going to be the "
official build" is in this context and I hope the above information would be useful to you and others. I hope others with better knowledge and insight will correct me if I was wrong anywhere and /or add additional information useful to anyone reading this thread.
