Microsoft has announced Windows 7 RTM yeseterday. According the the Windows 7 Team Blog, the RTM is build 7600. it will launch in time for its October 22. Can not wait to see the new great programme.
No need to wait. Have broadband and you can download it now and use it free until March. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx?ITPID=mscomsc Granted thats a release candidate but there hasn't been much features added. Good for a look until the final stable release is out (just make sure you use a separate drive or partition from your main OS.)
what i don't like is having to pay for upgrade. not only that, even my computer hardware needs upgrade for the new operating system. pay for vista and now windows 7
I do not like trying out beta or RC versions, especially for an OS! I would wait for the full launch and good reviews from friends before jumping on its band wagon. Hopefully, they would not take too longer a time, to kill the excitement! Regards, RightMan
I just installed, windows 7 RC and enjoying the new features, anyone knows, what is the limitation of a RC product.
I'm waiting to see if there is a special "upgrade from XP" price. The biggest insult is to by a machine now, pay extra for a downgrade from Vista to XP, then pay again for an upgrade from XP to Win7. All of this insanity is because M$ produced an OS called Vista that was bigger than XP, slower, and very annoying with User Account Control. Besides that, Vista didn't include the new file system that it was supposed to. Let's hope that Win7 is done right the first time. /*tom*/
err... RC != RTM umm what? where did you get that? Microsoft has already announced pricing for Windows 7 as well as the upgrades. You CAN buy 7 at a discounted price provided that your have a legit Windows XP license. http://www.pinoytechguy.com/windows/microsoft-windows-7-pricing
wish they had such offers in Australia... can`t wait for the new Windows 7, tried it in the beta stages & loved it!!
Yes, and i think windows 7 will be a great release after the success of Xp and failure of Vista. Aside that im really looking forward to buy "Family Pack version" which can be used for 3 PC's at home.
I'm sure the RTm is even better but WOW! even in RC this thing is as smooth as ice. Installed it yesterday and everything works perfectly even voice control. What was most surprising was how well IE8 runs. I'm sure in benchmarks its slow compared to Chrome but it sure feels like its running with chrome speed Always wait about a year before installing a new release of windows but I will definitely be giving myself a christmas present this year.
Windows 7 Final RTM 7600 is leak on internet. You can check out and download it. Its final build and enjoy the revolutionary windows ever. Its far better then vista really. Try it your self
I think its available to msdn and technet subscribers at the end of Aug. To consumers, its available in Oct.
