Has anyone compated the builds?

[goochman55]

Has anyone compared the builds 7100 from the torrents to the 7100 from Microsoft?  Are they the same?  I don't want to install it again if it's exactly the same.  I did the upgrade from 7077 to 7100 with no issues using the torrent download but I hear the Microsoft release won't upgrade.  any and all comments appreciated.
thanks in advance

Confirmed: download on torrent is the same as on MS...

If your gonna stick with your leaked copy, make sure you've verified it is one of the "clean" copies.  Some of the torrents had trojans embedded.  There is a post with details under the news section

Thank you riso

OK I got mine from riso *btw thanks for all the help*  but my copy still has the march/2010 expiration.  can I go into windows and change the key?  I used my old beta key.  will the new keys give me the extra 3 months? or do I need to do a fresh install?
thanks in advance,
Greg

To all: Again the explanation pls read it carefully:

The Beta expires on August 1, 2009, and bi-hourly shutdowns will begin July 1, 2009. The RC will expire June 1, 2010, and the bi-hourly shutdowns will begin on March 1, 2010. In both cases, you’ll need to rebuild your test PCs with another valid version of the OS, and reinstall your programs and data.

My 7100 RC X 64 was downloaded from rapidshare and I got the recent updates for IE 8 from Microsoft.  It is about the same as 7077 maybe a few fixes but not really a lot of difference.

One year is a long time.  The system could have numerous applications or we just don't want Windows 7 after all.

Rebuilding system is painful.  Would the patch will tie us beyond the June 1, 2010?

how do I find the expiry date, when I right click Properties on My Computer I get the full outline (view basic information about your computer) no about WIndows - how or what is the command for About Windows anyone, it just says activated on mine with no time limit???!!! Im confused

I just used the key Microsoft sent me as I have authorisation to use beta versions

Cheers

ps sound like Mirosoft have hidden a number of goodies under the surface to stop people installing grey/pirate copies, should be interesting to see what happens in the months ahead. Mind you if its good enough people wouldny mind paying for it - just have to be mad to pay for Vista - which I was conned more like it... we should get a free upgrade
