Windows 7 Confirmed to Hit RTM on July 13

Mussels · Jul 6, 2009

thanks for that alex.

well, theres one way to know if a leak is true RTM or not... the RC/beta keys will stop working.

Deleted member 24505 · Jul 6, 2009

Apparently rc keys do not work on 7264.I aint got around to trying it yet though.

i don't think people who ILLEGALLY ACQUIRE WIN7 should flame those of us who think buying WIN7 is sort of a joke. I highly doubt anyone here would be celebrating WIN7 over VISTA if you had to pay $200 for it. i'll wait until it drops to $100.

the full version or the upgrade? and how?

Dippyskoodlez · Jul 6, 2009

I think he's talking about the pre-order offer that's.. been..... open for a while now lol

Kuroikenshi,

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! For more information, see the Windows 7 Pre-Order offer page here: http://tinyurl.com/nldc8p

RC keys don't work - running 7264 now.
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.

Whats it like that 7264? any better/differant to 7100?

Even if it is, is it really worth all the hassle for one week? :ohwell:

LagunaX · Jul 7, 2009

Probably not worth the hassle of 1 week.

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.

Now your showing that you are clueless tbh. I agree Vista was a great OS, but Window 7 is just better.

Its the same damn thing. I don't get you guys. They took out a few programs and changed the GUI. SAME DAMN OS! FYI don't think I've forgotten you stole my story.

kyle2020 said:
Everyone, calm the fuck down, mailman's got this. We should all just forget Windows 7, stop progressing and go back to Vista because who really, at the end of the day, wants a better looking, less resource hungry, smoother operating system when Vista is still out? I mean, its not like Microsoft are phasing Vista out themselves is it? Oh wait, oh I do make myself chuckle at times, yes they are. Stop being an XP fanboy of yesteryear and let people go to whatever new OS they want.

I love smart asses like yourself. You always talk yourself into a hole. Ill be buying Windows7 the day it comes out due to DX11. But I'm not going to jump around like a gay parade claiming it to be a new OS. Ill leave that to guys like you.

i thought vista is going to support dx11 ?

Not that I know of.

Edit: I stand corrected. It does in fact support Vista. Maybe I wont be buying Windows7 so fast after all.

yea that is my thinking as well. i only upgraded to vista to get dx10 support. id still be using XP if it wasnt for microsofts underhanded marketing scheme! :laugh:

unless i can buy the full retail version (not the upgrade!) for under $150 i doubt i will buy it.

Yeah, sorry I'm not exposed to Uk release dates 24/7 :confused:

I'm currently using build 7100 and its very glitchy with my Creative Xtreme music card.

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?

Stick with 32 bit

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.

Makaveli · Jul 7, 2009

ya but the reason I want the 64bit version is so I can access all of my memory. In vista I can only access 3GB of the 4GB installed in my system.

And i'm planning a quad core upgrade maybe by xmas and I won't be going with another 32bit OS!

Then drop anything made by Creative. They couldn't physically suck more at making drivers. It would defy the laws of physics to do so.

Why not just pop your card out and just use this until there is a better driver?

Much as I hate it I'm prolly gonna pre-order at least a Home Premium version. Gonna need a 64 bit version and it's going to be a PITA until they get the drivers working right.
