Microsoft denies Windows 7 RTM imminent
Comp. World | at | by Mike
Microsoft late on Monday denied that it has finished Windows 7, quashing rumors that the company was about to declare "release to manufacturing," or RTM.
"We are close, but have not yet signed off on Windows 7," said company spokesman Brandon LeBlanc on the Windows blog Monday night. "As previously stated, we expect Windows 7 to RTM in the 2nd half of July."
TechNet and MSDN (Microsoft Developers Network) subscribers, who in the past have gotten RTM builds almost immediately, will be able to download Windows 7 from their respective services "a few weeks after we announce RTM," LeBlanc said.
