Windows 7 RC1 Branch Builds being Compiled?

Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversW7_Logo News has come down the grapevine that Microsoft has already branched off winmain and started compiling RC1 branch builds, no doubt preparing for the public release of Windows 7 RC. This tells me that Microsoft is far ahead of schedule with Windows 7 development and are going full speed ahead to get this release polished up and done.
This news has come to us in the form of a build tag which sports the typical naming scheme for milestone branch builds. 7048.winmain_win7rc1.090211-1625 is the tag. As you can see, this build was compiled on February 11th 2009 at 4:25 PM. On one hand it is good to see Microsoft moving this quickly with the development of Windows 7, but on the other it is a little concerning. Microsoft have only officially released one build (7000) which went to beta testers and the public alike. One build is not enough to gather enough feedback to move ahead this quickly IMO. Windows is a far more complex piece of software than Office and I hope Mr. Sinofsky can learn that before this beta cycle is over.
Beta testers (and the public) will likely see RC1 within the next month or two and then likely will not see anything until Microsoft declare Windows 7 to be RTM, thus making the technical beta utterly USELESS. I am a part of the Windows 7 beta and I am not pleased with what I am seeing. There is no incentive to testing anymore, anything we get the public gets, so can someone remind me why I’m on the techbeta? We have gotten no new builds, our feedback is not being taken seriously, etc… Granted they have the public testing and they are getting BOATLOADS of SQM data, but that simply isn’t enough. That won’t fix rogue usability issues, or odd app incompatibility issues, or driver issues etc… So if anyone from the beta team reads this, please rethink your strategy and think about releasing some more builds for testing. It can’t hurt, it can only help the end product.
So anyway, I know I drifted off into a bit of a rant but I feel the above needed to be said, and hopefully this feedback is taken seriously by the Windows team (hey there’s a chance, it’s not like we’re dealing with the Windows Live team, those people don’t know the meaning of the word feedback).

it can’t hurt if we get more releas. if they are not going to releas more buils why im
testing windows 7 and send feedback..we are the ones the helps the beta team get windows
the top....
imo, i think that micrsoft has been doing internal testing in their labs. they've been
working on windows 7 ever since they released vista.. maybe even before that. and windows
7 is almost the same as vista... so there isn't as many new features in windows 7 vs
vista compared to vista vs. xp! so that means less bugs to fix cause most of those bugs
were fixed with the vista beta.
the thing is, and i don't mean this in a rude way, that the author doesn't at all know
what is happening inside the labs and sinofsky's team. so saying they didn't test enough
or what should be done is a little bit weird as you don't know what is happening. people
working on 7 are experienced engineers and i'm sure they know what they are doing.
vista is better then windows 7 beta
vista is for girls.
wow....we are so glad you love your little fakit vista.
your a moron you know
that. dumbazz windows 7 still in beta and actually it feel and act way better than
winme..oooopsss i meant vista..yeah that it.
vista x64 is the best os yet and w7 looks set to improve on vista even further. people
need to learn how to configure an os and shouldn't expect it to work 100% out of the box.
w7 and vista looks almost the same but behind the gui they are very different.
i've dual booted 7000 version along with vista and am happy with it.
im
keeping vista as my main os for the time being tho but i rekkon that i'll use win7 rc1 as
my new main os when it gets leaked
