MSFT Engineers are signing off the RTM build for Windows 7

[Marik]

The crowd "believers" are gathering on the night © of 19 - 20 June for the signing of the RTM release with anticipation the results of the secret build.

At the beginning we all waited 19 hours for Moscow, and then at midnight, the results of all was for not, however the final RTM release of Windows 7 draws ever near.

So what actually happened in the Microsoft meeting?

At a time when the crowd impatiently expected results © the secret ballot, Microsoft talked about three assemblies:

6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110 - RTM branch build

6.1.7261.0.win7_rtm.090615-1900 - RTM branch build

6.1.7262.0.win7_rtm.090617-1900 - RTM branch build

On the basis of which the Assembly for the final RTM release, collection of the discussion was intense and prolonged, neither discussed because the assemblies did not obtained the necessary votes that quality assemblies did nor meet the necessary criteria. Immediately after the secret ballot and summary of the discussion had been assembled in a new candidate in the final RTM release, this Assembly was the Assembly: 6. 1. 0. win7_rtm 7263.. 090619 - 1900 - new RTM build. branch

After getting the new Assembly they all dispersed and the new force began work and results of voting threw the kiln. Of pipes pushed rich smoke to notify the crowd on the results of a secret ballot. First it was all received from black smoke for white and gleefully exclaimed, is served!, but then the crowd realized that this was all from the tense and wait for the secret RTM release for Windows 7....

Now, seriously:

We want to draw your attention to the source that is something that we have issued on 10 June 2009, and was said literally the following, in a running line: Microsoft Windows 7 (Client / Server) build RTM - FINAL WILL leak after June 19, 2009

Ie the RTM release is expected after June 19 and not June 19.

and another:

"the final RTM release of Windows 7 will be collected until the day of the summer solstice that is, until 21 June!"

"Since June 19, you may receive the RTM release of Windows 7 on the Internet."

"Since the assembly in the RTM release of Microsoft is testing a closed-build and then release its signature (sign-off), before the end of these procedures, no one can argue what will become an official build, the final RTM release of Windows 7."

"The forthcoming assembly RTM build is not suggested that it would immediately appear on CONNECT'e or the subscribers to MSDN."

All we have said above should be taken literally, it was not necessary to build the guesswork and make false claims about what we have on 19 June or someone else to put the final RTM release!

We are confident that it was June 19, is a key date after which we may be able to learn about the assembly that the final RTM release of Windows 7, respectively, and was able to learn what the build was the finale that is, technical data release.

Now you can see that neither of the first three assemblies was not a vote and two days would vote again, and so may occur before July 13!, But we are confident that the building will know about the final release before the end of June.

But since when assembly will exist in nature, it is not excluded, and leak it, but it is not a fact, too small number of people have access to the RTM build released to its self-assembly on the line.

And even if such assembly utechet is still pending formal signature "on gold" is not 100% possible to argue that it will be final.

Among other things should be borne in mind that one day, assembly of all versions and all languages, as customers and servers, it's just a huge amount of data, and yet all this will not pass testing, none of Microsoft employees will not receive them.

I would not have illusions about the availability of the final release in the next two - three weeks on CONNECT'e or the subscribers to the MSDN, the process of placing just takes time.

All assemblies in the assembly line WIN7_RTM candidates for the finals:

6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110 - RTM branch build - no sign-off!

6.1.7261.0.win7_rtm.090615-1900 - RTM branch build - no sign-off!

6.1.7262.0.win7_rtm.090617-1900 - RTM branch build - no sign-off!

6.1.7263.0.win7_rtm.090619-1900 - NEW candidate in RTM branch build.

and - WINMAIN branch build:

6.1.7233.0.winmain.090614-1655 - actual build in winmain branch

Note: same as before, this was made with google.translate, so if you don't understand the content that's not my problem.
