Windows 7 RTM

Looks like we’re going to get the RTM version of Windows 7 today.Wzor reports it’s build 7600, and the details look like this:

File Name:

7600.16384.090710-1945_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULXFRER_EN_DVD.iso

Size: 3,224,717,312

SHA-1: 0×31849B315290EFABFD81F967ED3C553D82925E4C

Happy downloading, and stay tuned for the official announcement (which will undoubtedly appear on every news medium in the world).

UPDATE:  Looks like we’ve got a waffler here. Microsoft issued a press release on July 13 quoting Bill Veghte as saying:

BILL VEGHTE: Good morning. How is everyone doing out there? (Applause.) All right. You watch that video, it’s such an exciting time. It is such an exciting time. This morning we will release Windows 7 to manufacturing, and we write that next chapter, we go after that opportunity.

On July 13, Brandon LeBlanc, on the official Windows 7 blog, said:

We are close, but have not yet signed off on Windows 7. When we RTM you will most certainly hear it here. As we’ve said all along, we will RTM Windows 7 when it’s ready. As previously stated, we expect Windows 7 to RTM in the 2nd half of July.

Clearly there’s a little, uh, discrepancy floating around. Bottom line: I’ll bet on build 7600.16384.090710, but it isn’t yet official. My guess is that MS didn’t want to steal the thunder from the Office 14, er, Office 2010 Technical Preview announcement.
