Brandon LeBlanc: Over the past week, there have been many rumors surrounding RTM.
We are close, but have not yet signed off on

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.

Earlier today the guys over at GeekSmack.net "confirmed" that Windows 7 was set to RTM(Release to market) on July 13, which also coincides with
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

Announcing the RTM of Windows Vista SP1
Mike Nash, Windows Product Management Group: Today we are excited to announce that we have released Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista to manufacturing
(RTM) for our first set of languages (English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese).
Service Pack 1 is a very important
milestone because it addresses many of the key issues that our customers have identified with Windows Vista over the last year both, directly and
through programs like the Customer Experience Improvement Program. With Service Pack 1, we have made great progress in performance, reliability and
compatibility. One of the great things about my job is that I get to play with the latest builds of our products -- I've personally been running
Windows Vista SP1 pretty exclusively for a few months and I've noticed that my systems run faster and more reliably than they did with the "Gold"
release of Windows Vista.

arrived in Redmond to pick up their RTM code. In the past when a Windows release reaches RTM, we have traditionally given some/selected OEMs the
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
RTM code is handed off to them to begin preparing for General Availability (GA) on October 22, 2009!

Windows Vista will RTM at build 6.0.6000
A source close to Microsoft
has confirmed to me that
Windows Vista will in fact
carry the build number
6.0.6000 . He found this
out by receiving a mail with
the build stamp "Microsoft
Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16384"
so that ends that
speculation.
Also
the MSDN subscription page has
been updated with the
following information
Windows Vista
and Office 2007: Availability
on MSDN Subscriber
Downloads
Windows
Vista and Office 2007 will be
available through MSDN
Subscriber downloads within 7
days of release to manufacture
(RTM). MSDN Subscriptions is
committed to making new
content available to our
subscribers as soon as is
practical.
Looks
like we'll be seeing this
appear soon.
Update: Several key
Microsoft employees has firmly
stated that Vista has not been
released to manufacturing. The
day might be soon, but is
certainly not today, or
tomorrow. There's still a bit
more work to do. Build
6000.16384 is real, but it
also doesn't mean RTM. These
days, Microsoft doesn't have
to increase the major version
number when building, so
theoretically, any sub-set of
build 6000 (6000.16385, 16386,
etc...) can be RTM. source

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
