23.07.2009Burn your Windows Vista DVD
ISO's slowly
Microsoft has warned public
beta testers to burn
downloaded Vista ISOs to disc
at speeds as slow as 1X or 2X
in order to get a reliable
burn.
It says a
key reason behind installation
failure of Vista is that many
DVD burners cannot reliably
burn a disc at high
speed.
The
interesting tidbit was
included in the release notes
for the interim update to
Vista Beta 2 (build 5456.5;
not publicly available) and

of the problem of unreliable
DVD burns.

When will you get Windows 7 RTM?
When will I get Windows 7 RTM?
Brandon LeBlanc: I recognize this is an important question to have answered. Many of you
have said you want to know exactly when you will be able to get your hands on RTM. Last Monday, I gave an update on RTM to close
out some myths. In that update, I also gave a broad timeline on when different groups of people “ or śaudiencesť “ would get the final RTM code.
While I have nothing new to add regarding RTM today, I do however have more precise information to give on when you will be able to
get RTM. Again, when you can get RTM depends on who you are.

Microsoft acknowledges Vista SP1 Refresh 2 = RTM
Which build of Vista SP1 became the release to manufacturing (RTM) edition? This was definitely a topic of high speculation in the last few weeks,
even before SP1 hit the RTM milestone. Many were adamant that SP1 RTM was, or would be, different from the final release candidate, while those on the
other side grasped at straws to prove their suspicions. The Microsoft Watcher, also known as Mary Jo Foley, has finally received confirmation from
Microsoft that the Vista SP1 RTM build (6001-18000) is none other than Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2. The latest official statement from the software giant
is:
"RC Refresh 2 code is the same as RTM. In final stages of a product Microsoft likes to get as much validation as possible before
releasing. The release candidate ended up being a high enough quality to be approved to release to manufacturing."

Recover "Create a recovery disc" on Vista SP1 RTM
Long Zheng: During the betas, one of the few new functionality Windows Vista Service Pack 1 added was the ability to create a Windows recovery CD with an easy-to-use GUI interface. Up and
until then, it was slightly harder but still possible to do so through a command line.
Whilst all Vista install DVDs include the
recovery functionality natively, it’s probably useful to burn yourself a spare copy to take with you. You can also download an ISO from NeoSmart.net but you might not have bandwidth to

Wzor's unconfirmed rumor last month. A few minutes ago sources close to the company, who wish to remain anonymous, have confirmed to Neowin that
Windows 7 is indeed set to RTM on July 13. After a year of furious beta testing and continuous leaks every other week, Microsoft is finally ready to
give Windows 7 the green light to hit the market. Currently the Windows 7 team is working on polishing off the RTM build so that no show-stopper bugs
are present in Windows 7.

How to Move Your Windows XP Application to Windows 7
Yochay Kiriaty has put together a series of posts to help you move your
Windows XP application to Windows 7 on the Windows Team for Developers blog. The series began with Is Your Application Ready for
Windows 7 RTM? and continues with User Account Control Data
Redirection. Other posting are promised. But these two provide the keys to most issues.
With general availability of Windows
7 coming on October 22, now is the time to move those Windows XP applications to Windows 7. Almost all applications that run under Windows Vista
will work well with Windows 7.
But what should you look for in those applications that just run on Windows XP or
earlier?

opportunity to come to Redmond and pick up the RTM code personally. I thought it would be neat to showcase these OEMs that came to campus today as the

Microsoft's Allchin: Windows Vista won't RTM next week
Thanks Steve from bink.nu.
I guess that settles that!
Windows Vista is not ready to
RTM next week, we'll all have
to wait just a little longer
after all.
Vista is
not on track to be released to
manufacturing on October 25,
according to Jim Allchin,
co-president of Microsoft's
platforms and services
division.
"We
won't RTM (release to
manufacturing) in a week,"
Allchin told MJ Foley on
October 18. "We are in pretty
good shape. And there are
still months before (the
January 2007) launch."
Allchin said Microsoft
is looking at Vista across
five categories right now to
determine whether it's
RTM-ready.
The
five: Reliability ,
security ,
performance , driver
coverage and
application
compatibility . While some
of these categories - such as
driver coverage and app
compatibility - may not be as
robust as many would expect in
order for Vista to RTM,
Microsoft looks at things a
bit differently, Allchin said.
"We have to be
done with Vista before the
ecosystem can finish the
rest," Allchin said.

Microsoft to RTM Windows 7 this week? Build 7260 leaks
Earlier today Neowin reported that Windows 7 build 7232 had leaked. What a difference a few more hours makes, now 7260 has leaked and the Russian site
Wzor claims that Microsoft will build the RTM (release to manufacturing) build between June 15-19. If Wzor is correct, and that's a big if and
rumour, then we may see the final Windows 7 RTM build ready this weekend. Internal sources indicate that 7260 is still the latest build under the
win7_rtm branch. Build 7260 carries the tag 7260.win7_rtm.090612-2110 and is an RTM escrow build meaning vigorous testing will commence to ensure this
is the final code unless there are show stopper bugs.
