Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated drivers Microsoft has just sent word that MSDN and TechNet customers will be able to get hold of Windows 7 RTM on August 6.
Windows 7 RTM will initially be available in English on August 6th and remaining languages by October 1st for both MSDN and TechNet customers.
Microsoft has released a time-line for RTM availability, English will be first followed by other languages:
* ISV/IHV - ISV (Independent software vendor) and IHV (Independent hardware vendor) Partners will be able to download Windows 7 RTM from Microsoft Connect or MSDN on August 6th.
* Partner Program Gold/Certified Members - August 16th. By October 1st, the remaining languages will become available to download.
* Action Pack Subscribers - August 23rd. By October 1st, the remaining languages will become available to download.
* OEMs - Approximately 2 days after Microsoft officially RTM
* Volume License with Software Assurance - August 7th via the Volume License Service Center (VLSC). The rest of the languages for Windows 7 RTM should be available within a couple of weeks after that.
* MSDN/TechNet - August 6th and remaining languages by October 1st.
* Everyone else - October 22nd, general availability date.
Microsoft have not confirmed the RTM build number or when exactly they plan to announce the official RTM so the wait continues.
Microsoft also confirmed that they will be delivering a family pack for Windows 7, which will allow installation on up to 3 PCs. At least now we know Windows 7 will RTM before August 6th.
Microsoft previously said that Windows 7 will RTM during the second half of July, and that its MSDN and Technet subscribers would be able to download it a few weeks after. Current rumors are pointing the Windows 7 RTM date at July 24th.

confirmed by who?
so the final build date will be 1st august, and then
released to technet etc by the 6th - i think not.
i have a feeling the official rtm will leak this week. they are running out of time to
prepare it for the oem's.
first july 13th, now aug 6th, ...what date will it be on aug 6th? is this nuts or what?
just think, this has to be an indication as to how many service packs w7 will have. they
cant even get it ready for an official rtm date, without updating it again, and again,
etc.
when will u *nix users quit talking sh!t about a product u never have/will use?
the hype with me is all gone now it's getting onto my nerves so i'll just skip all da
stupid excitement
you really should get your facts right b4 you post. the 13th of july was pencilled in for
a possible rtm date , the 6th of aug is when it hits technet you degenerate idiot.
all os have service packs , xp is on number 3, even apple have them.
go
take your head for a dump n then hump your cat ;o)
if u guys like 7 wait untill u c 8 or mindori what ever u want to call it, 8 or mindori
is way faster and stabler then 7 look for the beta real soon trust me u guys will love it
july 13th... ?! who said that... ? i never saw that officially stated anywhere!
wzor i think had not final build 7600. this means that windows 7 rtm is not yet
completed.
