RC version on 5 May - which download link do I use - here or at MS
« on: May 03, 2009, 12:30:26 PM »
Sorry I have not been around. Non-PC issues to deal with  :-[
Nevermind I am here now and am keen to download the RC on Tuesday 5 May.

On 5 May, do I go straight to the MS site and download the RC version there.
Or, do I come here for a non-MS link  :-\
I have some catching up to do.
Thanks,

If you Can't wait then you can download from links riso and java provided...

but if can.. then sign-up now for windows live id then wait for May 5 for the official Release of Windows 7 RC

Hello vastac13, umm, I am a bit slow here.
Are you saying that the links provided by riso and java are the same as what I will get from MS on Tues.
These links are to torrent ISO files - is that correct?

Yeah They are the legit ones.. their md5 hash are perfectly match to the ones that can get on Technet and MSDN starting April 30

But who knows...the public official Windows 7 RC build scheduled by May 5 are higher build?...

javajolt has some nice thread regarding the forking on builds MS dev team do...

Just look around  :)

Yeah I've seen that. Very well explained.
Thank you for your help, vastac13.
...and don't say Tuesday's version might be a higher build, ha ha  ::)

How will I know if the Tuesday build (tomorrow) is different to the version on the link given on this forum?

I have started setting up my main PC with this existing build of Seven.

Or, should I wait and see first... ??? :-\
