lmfao, that so-called RTM build number was invented by a noob in total ignorance of MS RTM numerology system. OK, before bed-time, another thing: Chinese OEM's already have build 9600.16384 yesterday morning(about 30 hours ago), .... don't ask me about leaks, IDK, just que sera sera.
Famous Russian forum for leaks apparently by e-mail, some members speaking Russian language x86 and x64 ISO at 8,1 RTM will be available for download today. (Apparently) also 14:00 UTC time, the gold / silver members will be able to download the RTM / distribution. (Apparently) So for those who are waiting for a leak, if the above information is accurate (I'm not saying that the IS100%, but it probably will) expect a leak around 6 pm / 7 pm today. I will not give our details, but what I will say is the source is known to be leaked in the past. (They really leaked Windows 7 when it hit RTM.) Anyway enjoy the RTM today hopefully. Yes OEM to get it on September 1 (maybe even today evening) and they can send it looks until October 18 Not only that, but that the release date MSDN idea sounds like it might be getting back to the MSDN meaning people can actually get it at the beginning of the end. Whatever you see ISO, scattered on or before September 1. I bet one will leak within the next 48hs. Fudge probably. I can't share source as I'm new. It's on pcportal
are we not all forgetting something, there is always google translate, that's how I read Russian forums hehe.
You know what comes up on a Chinese site using Google Translate? Bla blabla Premature ejaculation Respect landlord. lol sometimes it's better turned of.
Translated My best guess is the original poster, Premature ejaculation: Leak? Google translate is bad but at least it is consistent so you see the patterns and you can guess your way thru.
Whoever next has some legit news when you post it add some stupid phases so when it's translated and copied over to foreign forums they are all like WTF!
The Sep 1 date refers only to the date when OEM Resellers and System Builders can start to order and ship the Windows 8.1 inventory (see my screen earlier and the WinBeta notes on the matter from some posts above), and that doesn't mean availability through specifically this distribution channel anytime soon, as it are only inventory preorders. The rumor of today's leak ("at <insert time here, rumor claim different times> UTC") through Microsoft Partner Network was spread by Microsofter and his clones. I just checked this channel and there is nothing, so relax. You can go sleep, as there are no leaks expected tonight.
