Just 2 days ago the x86 flavor of build 7077 leaked to the intertubes, and, as rumored, x64 has slipped past the watchful eye of the Sinofsky Secret Police, so those of you who have postponed the upgrade because you don’t want an outdated architecture can finally get the latest and greatest to escape from the gates of Redmond.Asides from core code changes, bug fixes, and the “usual”, there is a very minute amount of changes aesthetically visible in this build. You can it from public torrents.

Wzor is once again reporting that the Windows 7 winmain_win7rc branch has reached 7079.
Yesterday build 7077 leaked via BitTorrent and we speculated this could be the build that would be “renamed” to 7100 for the RC. It appears that isn’t the case and Microsoft has built 7078.0.090406-1758 and 7079.0.090407-1902 over the last few days.
We still expect Microsoft to name the RC build shortly and all bets are on 7100.


Just in… from a very reliable source. Windows 7 build 7105 is the Release Candidate build. Not just the escrow, but the final RC build. It is set to be released to the public from Microsoft in three days, on April 10th.The build that just leaked, 7077 is also the RC, because 7105 is just 7077 re branded, for marketing purposes.As with any rumor, things change. But, this is the current plan with Microsoft. I guess we will have to wait and see…

Already their has been lot of rumors about the Windows 7 RC . Today the Engineering Windows 7 blog has posted the long article explaining how to upgrade from Windows 7 beta to Windows 7 RC. Here are some of the main points from the long post

Here’s what you can do to bypass the check for pre-release upgrade IF YOU REALLY REALLY NEED TO:

  1. Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD.
  2. Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the pre-release build).
  3. Browse to the sources directory.
  4. Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad.
  5. Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000 (pictured below).
  6. Save the file in place with the same name.
  7. Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed.

These same steps will be required as we transition from the RC milestone to the RTM milestone.

This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide.

Bootable USB drive

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

Microsoft and its PC partners are going to allow Windows 7 users to downgrade not just to Windows Vista, but also to Windows XP, Microsoft officials are confirming.

Some company watchers have been wondering about the downgrade rights that Microsoft will offer when Windows 7 ships. When AppleInsider reported this weekend that HP was going to offer Windows 7 users the ability to downgrade to XP, I asked Microsoft about the story.

Here’s what a spokesperson representing the company’s Windows client division told me via e-mail on April 5:

MJF: Does Microsoft have downgrade rights for Windows XP planned as part of Windows 7?

Microsoft spokesperson: Yes. This is not the first time that Microsoft has offered downgrade rights to a version other than its immediate predecessor and our Software Assurance volume-license customers can always downgrade to any previous version of Windows. (Note: Microsoft changed the statement from “Software Assurance” to “volume license” Monday afternoon.)

(The spokesperson clarified later that downgrade rights allow users to install previous versions of Windows, not just the most recent predecessor. In other words, a Software-Assurance-covered volume-license user who wanted to downgrade from Vista could, technically, go back to Windows 2000 or even Windows 95, not just XP. Who knew?)

MJF: Is Microsoft cutting these kinds of rights deals with each OEM individually? Has it made such an arrangement with HP?

Microsoft spokesperson: Downgrade rights policies are the same for all of our main OEM partners and what you are talking about is not a special arrangement. Since the End User right to Windows XP Professional is part of the license terms for these editions, it’s really about making facilitation options easier for our OEM customers and End Users.

(It’s worth noting that the only two versions of Windows Vista for which Microsoft and its PC makers provide downgrade rights are Vista Business and Ultimate — and those must downgrade to XP Professional. I’d think similar limitations would be likely with Windows 7.)

Microsoft is planning a couple of major new announcements around Windows 7 with the forthcoming release of the Release Candidate.

At a briefing at Microsoft’s London headquarters today, the company’s Windows OEM manager, Laurence Painell told PC Pro that there will be a “couple of additional, quite major announcements” in the coming weeks.

Painell wouldn’t reveal when the Release Candidate was due to arrive, but leaked reports have previously suggested that it could come as early as next week, on 10 April.

Painell said the company is currently working hard to avoid the software and hardware compatibility issues that blighted the launch of Windows
Vista.

Whilst the vast majority of Vista apps should work perfectly happily with Windows 7, Microsoft is aware that the “majority of businesses are still running Windows XP,” according to Painell.

“There was some misconception that I [as a business] could skip Vista and go to Windows 7, and all those incompatibilities would go away,” he said. “That’s not the case.”

Painell is nevertheless confident that the vast majority of business and consumer apps will work with Windows 7. He claimed 99% of the top 200 software titles are already compatible, with problems largely confined to apps that go deep into the operating system.

“The apps we find issues with are low level code, antivirus systems etc. We’ve worked with vendors to make sure they’re ready for release,” he said, adding that at least eight leading security vendors already have Windows 7 compatible software ready to buy or test.

Microsoft said it’s also educating businesses on the use of technology such as its Enterprise Desktop Virtualisation (MED-V) software, which will help companies to continue running Windows XP software on Windows 7 desktops. “The app looks like it’s running in Windows 7 [to the end user],” Painell claimed, minimising the need to retrain employees on using virtual desktops.
