It's not RTM. Its just another build. People gettin far too excited putting RTM on every damn build number.

MY ISO IS BROKEN, it doesnt want to continue to install after first reboot. Have no idea if MS broke this (since its different branch) or something was just wrong with iso. Im in process of recompiling everything.

They are RTM "Branch builds"

June 15, Microsoft started over RTM assemblies Windows 7, and now we are witnessing the preparations for the launch of the technological processes to start assembling RTM builds of Windows 7, as well as the emergence of a new branch builds win7_rtm.
We will inform you on the progress of the assembly RTM builds.
That's the first candidate for the final assembly of Windows 7.
All assemblies in the assembly line WIN7_RTM candidates for the finals:
6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110 - RTM branch build

You may ask why the first assembly win7_rtm has already been collected on 12 June not 15 June. There are several working groups involved in the process of assembling and assessing the quality of assemblies. Once the assembly is collected and its quality is confirmed, assembly already seen leading engineers, and only then put to the vote, these assemblies will be few. How do you understand all of these steps and procedures take time, so only the June 15 assembly from June 12, attained the status of the real candidates for the final RTM release.

The actual RTM is so close, you'd be stupid to install any of these latest releases.

7100 still going strong here

bledd · 17 Jun 2009 at 15:27

I'm still on 71XX something, no show stopping bugs in it for my use, so not worth the effort of updating for now

I'll do a full format for the real RTM when it's out

It's just for fun when were all bored at work.... lol

When can we expect the final RTM? Will it be 7300 and will it be available from MS RC website or will we have to find a leaked version?

I don't think there's a definitive date but expect it to be mid-July.

of course not, that's the final version!

they only do this with the server os's

MoRT489 · 17 Jun 2009 at 18:53

Ah i see. Will the only RC be 7100 then?

RobH · 17 Jun 2009 at 19:00

I'm still on 7000 here and have a huge collection of intermediate builds, just haven't got around to installing a new one yet, a new build seems to popup everytime.

bledd · 17 Jun 2009 at 20:18

the jump from 7000 to 7100 was a significant one imo

, but might as well wait now

Except the real and final RTM, if leaked will not work with the beta serial numbers I would assume?

Also it has been reported that the 7260 version has MAJOR changes from the previous versions so maybe quite a few more features which you would get in the final version?

On that basis maybe worth downloading as perhaps the closest beta to final release you can get until it is launched in October.

people will just use the re-arm feature of vista/7 until it's released.

not really, i switched from 7100 to 7201 a couple of weeks ago and it fixed a few niggling problems i had under 7100.

i'll stick with 7201 until RTM, it's very good.
