These releases are leaked releases. The ones only for microsoft technet people and that and then they leak it onto the web.
Yes, I know this.
My question was, would Microsoft release anything OTHER than the 7100 RC release to those who have the 7100 release, via Windows Update, as noted in my first post.

Well, that kinda sucks. Oh well...Thanks for the info.
Why are you so worried about getting Updates? If they did send any updates they would either be Test Updates or simple fixes for minor bugs...

And using the leaked builds isn't going to allow you to receive updates.. Those are interim builds, they do NOT receive updates, period...

To add to Radenight, the RC is more than likely going to look exactly the same as the public release anyways. I still dont see Microsoft making any changes to the UI until maybe a service pack, although it is entirely possible. These newer builds that come out have minor bug fixes only, so if you dont have any issues at the moment, you have something pretty close to the public release anyways.

I'm not "worried" about getting updated, but to me, the point of us "testing" an RC is that updates continue to be released to said testers. If you just want us to use the same copy and not update it, then really, is there any point?
I write software for a living. Having people using the RC and getting these updates would seem like a plan to me, but just simply shipping out the RC and saying that's it, well, seems rather silly. It's going to time out anyway, why not ship these updates out to us as well as part of Windows Update in the RC?
I downloaded and installed the latest "leaked" build anyway, so no big deal. Just speaking on a pure testing basis, getting updates out to those who are testing the RC makes sense to me, but then again, what Microsoft does, doesn't always make sense.
Unless you have a Technet or MSDN Subscription, then you will see it late July!!!No, there will NOT be another public release, period.
If you're doing this legit, the next time you'll see Windows 7 is on its October 22nd launch date if you choose to buy it.
