Latest Windows 7 Leak Claims to be RTM

The race to RTM occurs even in pirate waters.

Leaked builds of Windows 7 hitting file sharing networks are claiming to be "very, very possible FINAL RTM build."
More than one piracy scene group today released iso disc images that bear the build string and filename "7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso."
It's unclear how different this is from build 7600 that leaked onto the internet last Sunday, though the filename indicates that it was compiled on July 13, 2009 at 12:55 p.m., making it a few days newer than the one previously leaked.
Microsoft did follow up with a comment on July 13, saying, "Just because a single build may have 'leaked' it does not signal the completion of a milestone such as RTM."
Furthermore, Microsoft's Windows Communication Manager Brandon LeBlanc warned users against using leaked builds of Windows 7. "As always, beware of what you download. There are many bogus copies of Windows 7 floating around the Internet. More often than not, they contain a rather nice malware payload," he said.
"When Windows 7 hits RTM, it will be announced here," LeBlanc continued. "Until that happens, any builds you are likely to see on the web are either not the final bits or are laced with malicious code."

The taskbar looks really ugly in this pic.
windows 7 really fugly without the aero-glass
"The taskbar looks really ugly in this pic."
I believe that is because the "transparent glass" visual effect is disabled for some reason. If you have the RC you can disable/enable it system settings; not sure how to do it in Vista.
Its windows, its gonna look ugly
I wonder how many times we will see this same article before it actually happens?
so many claims... so many pointless articles
RTM? I'm guessing it's a newer version since it'll have a new feature included: rootkit/backdoor.

I find it interesting how many new bot nets have popped up this year. I also find it interesting that the recent attacks were done with some of these bot nets. I wonder how they are growing so fast.

it may be that ppl just can't be bothered or forget to re-install their virus scanner as they move to the win7 RC, also that look is what you get when aero isn't on, this happens from time to time when programs you run aren't compatible with it, or just wan't it turned off for maximum performance.
Its windows, its gonna look ugly
so your mom looks ugly ?
cuz you look ugly.
Yea odds are that picture is a screen shot of a build installed on a virtual machine and the Virtual graphics card doesnt support Aero. Notice how the Winver window also has the blue frame instead of the glass frame.
I love Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's "RTM"?

I guess it's real. My guess. No offense or anything, but I think M$ kinda BSed on that stuff.
Despite this warning from Microsoft, that's not gonna prevent stupid people trying to download "official" copies of Windows 7....and get viruses on their computers.

Don't you think MS would shout for as most people as possible that the RTM is out? This is a major milestone after years of work, I can't see any reason why they would hide this. (Don't you think OEMs and other companies would have said something if they had the RTM version by now?)
There is a simple way to know if it is a real retail final. That is you must get choose edition dialog when install it. So far I didn't find the dialog in build 16384 (last digit is four not five).

Gay.

Maybe I am wrong, but wont the edition be based on the product key you use? I figure users enter the product key and the instillation automatically knows what edition to assign them too. So there is no point in asking the user what edition they have. Its been a long time since I installed Vista, so maybe I'm wrong.
I will just wait until the real disc hit the shelves then download an OEM from the gettin' place.
Could just be that the computer was off but the date in the picture (on the computer) is 7/12 and the file name indicated that it was built on 7/13...

No, microsoft usually hides the news until several days later.
It must be RTM, according to win super site:

What's different? Marcus, did you have a care in the world while writing this, or did you just write it as a 'filler' for TH?
It's the x86 version duh.... the other one was x64... T_T
Ho hum, ZZZZZzzzzzzzz.......
"...or are laced with malicious code."
Now is that either or?
My guess is that he either slipped, cannot understand conjunctions or this is RTM.
Oh yes...
If we ask, you give it to us, right? (Oh wait, that's Tuan...)
How about attempting to get an official repsonse response from Microsoft about their opinion on all the 'leaked' ersions of Win7 floating around the net. is it possible Microsoft supported these? Is Microsoft directly repsonsible for some of these? Was anyone fired over all the leaks? Is there a reason why the public beta and RC keys work with the leaked versions?
I remember there being something about a suggest a news topic, but I can't remember how to access it. -_-
