Windows 7 RTM ist offiziell

Brandon LeBlanc verkündet im Windows Blog:

"I am pleased to announce that Windows 7 has RTM’d!

As I mentioned previously, RTM officially happens only after sign-off occurs. What happens is a build gets designated as a RTM contender after going through significant testing and meeting our quality bar for RTM. Then, it goes though all the validation checks required for RTM including having all languages of that build completed. If all the validation checks have passed – sign-off for RTM can occur. Today after all the validation checks were met, we signed off and declared build 7600 as RTM.[...]"

RTM steht für Release To Manufacturing. Das bedeutet, dass Produkt kann an die Presswerke ausgeliefert werden. Es ist also faktisch fertig. Über die Windows 7 Download Termine hatten wir bereits berichtet.
