I am still using Windows 7 RC and patiently waiting until today so that I get my copy from Technet with a legal key from microsoft.
It will most likely not be available until after the work day begins in Redmond (e.g. after 9:00am Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8)). As far as exactly what time it will be posted today, I don't think anyone knows for sure. I will just keep checking TechNet & the MDL forums throughout the day today to keep updated...
Yeah I was thinking the same, and any other little flaws they found at the last minute. Surely though it doesn't really matter. I'm running the same version that was posted on this forum, any extra updates etc. will come via Windows Update, so they will be pretty much the same?
I think it's hilarious: so many users with "activated" RTM copies waiting to download the Technet RTM version
yes but is dumb to release a software with this serious bug... i think microsoft will release an image with fixed this bug and i think that zukona images who was leaked some days ago was not the final was a step to final.. because microsoft hadn't confirm anything only the build number...
wrong; technet and MSDN are retail keys, good for a limited amount of activations.. these keys must be activated via ms authentication servers.. SLP keys, which the one is leaked currently from Lenovo, are not activated via ms servers, but locally, with authentication checks against slic 2.1 and a valid oem certificate. attemping to use a retail key in this manner will not work.. furthermore, any technet/msdn key "leaked" will be immediately blacklisted when thousands of requests per a single key hit the ms servers.. anyone releasing a technet/msdn key via their account will also likely have allot of explaining to do "HOW THE KEY GOT LEAKED!"
yeah but i'm still thinking that microsoft will release the same image with fixed this bug... and all these build that have leaked wasn't from microsoft,it's cormfirmed that the build that have leaked as rtm is original but as we know at the moment microsoft hasn't sign-off the rtm in the web
