Windows 7 Confirmed to Hit RTM on July 13
It would appear as though rumours which surfaced around a month ago are going to be proved correct, as sources close to multiple technology sites have confirmed that Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing on 13th July. Although general availability is still not until 22nd October, this is a significant milestone as the RTM build will be the final code which also gets shipped to the general public later this year. As well as OEMs, the build should also be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers and will also no doubtedly find its way on to torrent sites shortly after. The wait for Microsoft's highly anticipated operating system is less than four months away, but for many of us little more than a week of waiting stands in our way.

Windows 7 Professional does not include BitLocker or BitLocker to go but Windows 7 Ultimate does. If you are planning on purchasing Windows 7 when it is released October 22nd it might be helpful to know that for a limited time only you can pre-order your copy of Windows 7 for a discounted price of more than half off!

What ppl are doing is replacing some filles from 7230's and the the RC keys will work.
Last version that RC keys worked was 7260.
But UK pre-orders start on 15th July.
@ Dippy, get your facts straight before you start loling :shadedshu
7264 is fine like 7260 like 7229, pretty stable. 7100 would occassionally crash but I think it was more of a driver compatibility issue,especially for Nvidia.
Edit: I stand corrected. It does in fact support Vista. Maybe I wont be buying Windows7 so fast after all.
64bit version and i've tried both the release drivers and creatives beta drivers yet the audio poping and static doesn't stop.
I dual boot and my 32bit vista works fine with no issues any ideas?
After using win7 64 bit, I'm not even gonna waste my time once it hits RTM. not worth the wasted HDD space, or hassle of getting drivers to work.
And i'm planning a quad core upgrade maybe by xmas and I won't be going with another 32bit OS!

I've ran it on two of my systems, my housemates have it on their two machines, and i know of about 4 other lanners with it personally. None have had driver issues, except for creative users... and who cares about them, creative ALWAYS have these problems so people need to learn to deal with that.
