So I installed Windows 7 RTM build 7600 x64 last night.

After installing, it gave me the good old "30 days to activate" notification.

Went googling for ways to activate it, found one which takes two files from an RC so I just had to put them in the respective windows directories and enter an RC product key.

After doing this though, watermark in the corner appeared saying "Evaluation Copy". Running winver also said my installation would expire in 2010 like the release candidates.

It got rid of the "30 days to activate" and it says its genuine though.

Is this normal? Did i do something wrong?

What I did removes the 30 days too.

Though it suddenly showed up with "Evaluation copy" watermark and the same expiry day as the Release Candidates when run 'winver'.
 
Well everytime they say it will out on this date it generally is thus far.

Only 3 more days and we find out :)
 
So friday .... hmm hopefully a good day. Time for the sharks to beat the bulls !!! and the MS ISO for Win7 - wonder how long it will take to get to torrent?

A Few Hours? Those pirates are damn fast. I've got a copy, but I'm still looking for a good activator before installing it. I'm currently running RC, but theres no use switching from 7100 to 7600 if it still has the same expiry date when patched? Or am I wrong?
 
Silver the rc and 7600 are different, the RTM to the release to manufacturer.

The ISO coming friday will be the official windows 7 package from microsoft and compiled by them not by the pirates.

Have no idea htf that all works but that is what i have read :D

Basically on friday will be what we get when we buy out copies in October.

Do you know of any noticeable changes from 7100 up until 7600? (I'm just to lazy too google it) :D
 
@killa is right, the 7600 (384 and 385) was source code leaked that was compiled by the chinese (thats why there are so many stories about infections and injected malware). MS still to release a full ISO - hopefully on friday!

Yes thats true, I read 386 is final but the only changes will be the fancy packaging, a few time stamps and a digital signature or two as for the rest the files are already what you would get in the RTM release.
 
Well if they RTM'd now and had it for sale... I would go buy it! My Vista is starting to give me k@k for the first time in 2 yrs. Cant get it to install SP2. So I'm desperate for a full Win7 RTM!
