Windows 7 RTM Leaked

As predicted, the 7600 Build of Windows 7 was reportedly released on July 13. Also as predicted, soon thereafter it was swiftly leaked out onto torrent sites.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads of the new OS of the Ultimate edition were being actively hosted at press time. There is some question about whether the build is indeed the Release to Manufacturing build as rumored. This would mean that it would be almost the exact version of Windows 7 to appear on store shelves this fall, barring the discovery of a major bug in the RTM phase.

While the 7600 build made indeed be the build to see RTM, it may be the wrong version of the 7600 build. I Started Something blogger Long Zheng was the first to discover the build string -- "7600.16384.0907101945_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate_GRMCULXFRER_EN_DVD.iso". Some are noting that the RTM build of Windows Vista was 16386, indicating that two more compilations might be in store before the official RTM.

still horrified about the price of 300 euro for ultimaete (press releases verified this in our country... vista ultimate is 150 euro for quite a time now)
300 for a os is a no-go if you ask me (at least for private owners... who do not want cut-crap-os version)
