As a final note.It is now confirmed that RC keys do indeed work. It doesn’t matter which one you use since they all work. You can also get them from the Microsoft Windows 7 website.

I have picked up that the Beta keys nolonger work with this build.

Can you confirm?

Windows 7 build 7229 leaks
... and it's the last build before the build 7300 RTM escrow build. How can you tell it's getting close to final? The build no longer accepts Beta/RC product keys. More soon if it warrants it...

I assume build 7100 can still be used? I'm about to instal it for a mate of mine.

Cheers

7331 is out and about too!!! RTM escrow anytime soon too.

Theguy · 12 Jun 2009 at 13:01

I keep hearing the word Escrow? what does it mean?

Fegruson · 12 Jun 2009 at 13:06

Escrow is a legal arrangement in which an asset (such as cash, real property or other tangible assets) is deposited into safekeeping

I guess that has something to do with it.

EDIT: the "asset" also includes 'software source code' according to out-law.com

Are there any major differences between 7100 and these newer ones?

As new builds are done on a daily basis, or almost daily, so your just going to be upgrading/fresh installing every single day if you want the latest, its bloody pointless.

Macro · 12 Jun 2009 at 19:17

Keep in mind that because these are leaked daily builds there's a good chance things will be removed from them, functionality switched off, new un optimized code added and a bunch of other weird stuff as the dev team grind out the last show-stoppers and bugs before rtm
