Thanks.

Can we count on you for a couple of activation keys for the RTM? :eyebrows:

 

[Yamen]

A couple? What for?
Anyhow, activation should be straight forward though. Did you have any issues with that?

 

[V]

I didn't because I installed the RC and used the Beta key, which was known to general public and it worked fine. For RTM, these keys will no longer work and I don't wanna use some cracks from the webz. I'd prefer a genuine key from a MS employee.

What exactly is an RTM? How is it different from an RC?

 

[V]

Release Candidate and Release To Manufacture. Pretty straight forward, I would say.

 

[Yamen]

RTM is the version the hits the shelf. RC is usually 95% of the full product. Just final tweaks would remain like adding additional languages, activation wizard additional wallpapers. That's my guess.

 

[icemaη]

I know the full forms, I don't know how they are different from each other, in terms of features...

Edit: got it.

is it out in the UAE, Yamen?

My RC, build 7100, is working flawlessly for like a month. I think I'm gonna stick with it untill my beta key expires, which is like June next year. Then SP1 will probably be out with a working crack.

Sorry yamensbs, if my open, pirating nature offends you.

 

[Yamen]

Not yet mate. Soon I believe.
Maybe.. maybe in Gitex would be the major announcement.

 

[Yamen]

Dont worry Vlatko. I'll turn my head the other direction

Same hardware? Yeah sure.

 

[Eddy]

I really don't get what the difference is. :S

On my PC, the boot time difference, betwenn Vista and 7, is much, much bigger than shown on the video.

But it's not only that, overall usability is miles ahead in 7. It's like you're using XP with Vista's skin.

 

[Yamen]

i always liked XP
I still run it on my home computer. Never had a single crash.

I also like it but I've grown seriously bored with the appearance of it.
