7264 has leaked in both flavors

You do relize 7201 is not full. The reason there is bugs like the media player bug is that this was not a full build and had more bugs than other builds and lacked features.

7229 is the best

Why would they block their own workaround?

The only reason they put it out there in the first place was so that people could upgrade from beta 7000 to RC 7100. They may not block it, but that would mean you would have a bunch of people upgrading from various builds to RTM, which could mean all kinds of bugs popping up, and people getting upset over that. Of course, that would also mean that anyone that knows the workaround could just buy the upgrade disc instead of the full retail.

Please, May I also share the Ftp?
And 'Thanks!' For this forum. It has helped me greatly with My 7 experience.

By the way guys, 7264 E version is out now. lol

lol, I'm looking for it. Seems kind of pointless to me though, seeing as how you can remove IE from all Win7 builds now.

Steven Sinofsky said "These same steps will be required as we transition from the RC milestone to the RTM milestone."

They have the same problem with people illegitimately using the clean install with upgrade media trick.

At that level, buying the upgrade disk is the least of M$'s problem as these folks that think that far are likely not to buy anything.
