h**p://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6108231 - change ** to tt just put it up, took a RTM of W7 slipstreamed SP1 with RT7lite, this version asks you which version to install enjoy
oh i dont want a homemade ISO.. something official from microsoft. in the mean time my windows 7 sp1 works fine till that comes out! thanks anyway!
has this build been confirmed as the real RTM yet directly from microsoft? i really hope i dont have to re-install it again on the 4 systems i put it on.
the sources of the internet and the others seem to think so, its the one sent to oems and the one going to be provided soon to WU etc.
Looks good so far. I have deployed the leaked SP1 RTM on 2 computers, and both are okay. As a matter of fact, they both seem to be running a little bit faster than before the service pack was installed. No issues with Daz Loader either.

Question: 1. Since the SP1 was completed at 19 November 2010, do I have to install hotfixes starting from December, after installing SP1? Are other hotfixes I should install, other than the ones quoted? 2. Why is it not possible for M$ to incorporate December and January hotfixes inside SP1? As such, after installing SP1, we have to install post-SP1 hotfixes to get our system fully up-to-dated. I am hoping that SP1 will incorporate all hotfixes up to the time it is being released, not just the time it was signed. 3. What is the difference between win7sp1_rtm Branch and win7_spdev Branch? Thanks for the information given.
Regarding the debate over whether 7601.17514 is the real RTM or if it's just another RTM escrow (i.e., a RTM candidate that was not signed-off on), it seems that everyone and every "news" source that people have pointed to points back to that Russian TechNet blog post. It's really quite amusing to read some of the posts in this thread, where someone would point to the TechNet post and then, as an extra source, to some "news" article that was ultimately sourced from that same TechNet post. In all this, I find it surprising that nobody noticed the biggest and most convincing piece of evidence in support of 7601.17514 being the signed-off RTM. Take a close look at KB976902 (the servicing stack update; support.microsoft.com/kb/976902). You will notice that a number of the files found inside this update are 7601.17514 (the others carry an original 7600.16385 build number). This is far more convincing to me than some Russian TechNet blog post (unless it came from Redmond, I don't really trust TechNet blog posts) or the "have faith in wzor" doctrine. The fact of the matter is, Microsoft has already public released some of the bits in 7601.17514 via WU, and if that isn't a signal of sign-off, I don't know what is! As for how this leaked, I suspect that it was probably "leaked" in the usual manner: Microsoft has a long history of supplying their close partners (esp. the "royalty" hardware partners, e.g., Dell) with early bits and frequent iterations of betas, RCs, etc. Redmond's security is actually pretty tight; it's almost always the third parties involved that are the sieves.
