Windows 7 Hits Build 7600 (Possible RTM)
An anonymous reader writes "One Microsoft Way is reporting that Microsoft has significantly incremented the build number of both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: 'Reports across the Web are pointing to a build 7600 for both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This is significant because the bump in the build number would suggest that Microsoft has christened this build as the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) build. The RTM is expected to be given out to Microsoft partners sometime later this month and launched on October 22, 2009, the day of General Availability (GA). The build string is "7600.16384.090710-1945," which indicates that it was compiled just a few days ago: July 10, 2009, at 7:45pm. Microsoft only increments the build number when it reaches a significant goal, and the only one left is the RTM milestone. The last builds that were leaking were all 72xx builds, so such a large bump is suspicious but at the same time it is something Microsoft would do to signify that this is the final build.'"
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceedest on to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I'd like to see nicknames, like:
Bellicose Bill
or
Ballistic Ballmer
or
Screamin' Steven
rather than boorrrrring build numbers.
Just sayin'.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is insufficiently documented.
A while back coke.. err i mean microsoft.. introduced "new coke".. err.. i mean windows vista.. which was an unfort--*cough*purposeful*cough*--unate flop.
Then, they released "coca-cola classic".. err.. i mean windows xp again...err.. i mean "windows 7".. which the public raved was so much better than before!
HURRAY! *cough*and microsoft gets away with zero innovation by simply engineering expectations*cough*

Did you get first or third?

And those Seinfeld ads were brilliant!
Help stamp out iliturcy.
You can keep burning those Linux discs, sure. The Mac DVD's probably aren't legal, though.
If you're setting them on fire, put them on your junk first. It will melt into a permanent condom. You'll need it for Windows.
I think that by 2011 Microsoft should be making a serious impact on the home desktop market.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
Then, clearly, you're either masturbating incorrectly, or having a heart attack (or both). Unfortunately, the corrective actions for each are contradictory...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
They are still making "Windows?"
That's cute. I guess there's always a market for retro stuff.

I'd suck nine dicks to get a job posting pro-Microsoft stuff online. Just got laid off and would LOVE to get a check while still being able to troll people like you.

Windows 7: There are so many versions to choose from...
As opposed to, say, Linux distributions?
You can start with mine.

Although I'm not really doubting your FPS stats (and I actually quite like Win7, and generally despise Vista), I think a large portion of people touting Win7 is "way better than Vista" is because their Vista installation has been there for 2 years and has a bunch of stuff installed in it, their Win7 was probably cleanly installed a month ago after the latest Beta/RC.
That this would matter is amusing to a *nix user.
CowboyNeal?
man nice
PS: That's no compliment, type it in a shell :P
Of course it runs NetBSD. BTC: 1NT7QvbetmANwaMzhpVL6
Yes, but whatever Linux distro I install, I can make it work like any other without having to pay extra.;)
That's why I use rpm pointed at the fedora repos with my Kubuntu install. Your right I don't have to pay extra.
But I haven't gotten it to work either. Maybe I'm not not l33t enough. ;)

I use this rather arcane procedure. I fetch a small box from a shelf, take a metal-coated plastic disc from within it, put it in my computer, and the film starts playing just like magic!
