📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the presence of "Windows 7 File Recovery" in the Control Panel of the Windows 8 RTM build, which seems unusual given that the product is nearly final. The original poster questions why this feature remains, suggesting it might be an oversight or leftover from testing phases. A forum member responds that this issue has been acknowledged previously, implying it is an ongoing oversight that has not yet been addressed, and expresses surprise that it hasn't been fixed in updates. Overall, the discussion indicates concern about a possibly overlooked detail in the Windows 8 release.

This has been bugging me for quite a while now. Since the developer preview, I have been noticing "Windows 7 File Recovery" to be sitting in the control panel. At first, I thought it's just there because it's in the testing phase. But now, it's still there in the RTM build (Build 9200). What does this mean? Isn't the RTM build nearly final (if you ignore a few patches that might be coming) ? If this is not by design (and I wouldn't want to think that it is), how did this get past the testing phases?

:eek:

Hello and welcome to the forum.
This has been mentioned before on this forum. http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-support/10640-windows-7-file-recovery-windows-8-rtm.html
You're right, it does seem to be a peculiar if not ridiculous over-site and I did expect it to be corrected last Tuesday with the Update Tuesday roll-out but surprisingly it still wasn't, so evidently no one cares. Not sure why but evidently their concerns are apparently elsewhere. Who knows?
