Hey guys I have a question about windows 7 rtm..
Now I have rtm because im an IT student. :) but was wondering if i were to install windows 7 rtm on my computers will it run better than the rc version? What is rtm? Is it the same as retail? Would i still have to buy the copy when it comes out? Need help because if i still have to buy the copy wont bother installing it.

Espada,

RTM is the same as the final version. If you have Windows 7 RTM, legally through MSDN Plus / TechNet Plus subscription directly from Microsoft then you will not need to purchase it when it is released.

Your an IT student and you don't know the answers to these questions? 😱 How the hell do you not know what RTM stands for?

Also you obviously don't know how to use Google as these questions can be answered within 2 minutes just by a simple search.

Are you sure your an "IT Student"? Shouldn't that be... ART Student? Wait, that's taking the piss out of Art students a little bit, at least they would know how to use google!

the rtm is the copy that is released to manufacturers, i didnt see any difference between the latest rc and the rtm, run better could mean alot of things, id get the rtm, because it would be easier to grack, unless ure the buying type

What's wrong with you man??? Don't you know that forums aren't to be used for questions or helping. Hopefully we can stop all these damned questions and have a forum that is completely silent and empty one day.

I think the point I was trying to make was that he is an IT student asking some of the most basic IT questions out there. Not to mention that these forums are literally covered with hundreds of posts asking the exact same questions over and over again.

I am in NO WAY against helping people but I am not going to help lazy ignorant people who aren't prepared to put a little work in for themselves and just rape everyone else here on these forums of their knowledge.

Everything you want to know is on Google, you just got to spent 10 minutes looking for it. Which would've been quicker than posting here.... waiting for reply.... posting your reply.....waiting for another reply. This has been going on for days.

If I Google "RTM Definition" and click on the 3rd result down it tells me! Took me 16 seconds!!!

And don't get me started on the whole 32 vs 64bit argument... argh!!!!!

the person said it student not employee, so i wouldnt expect them to know that much, the first time i tried upgrading a computer, i knew less than the basics, i bought a socket a proessor for a socket 7 motherboard, i was 13. at least this person had enough sense to ask for help.

Lol I usually learn "by doing" built laptops and desktops and also fixed them. By doing just looking at it and saying "its just like legos".. But software/os for me is a whole different thing.

Learning by doing is the best way to learn. Software/os just take a little more research and time but same concept.

There is no real point in serious debating 64 vs 32bit. I run both, and I have to say it just comes down to users needs and wants out of there system, plain and simple. I don't try to find a use for my 64 bit versions of Windows 64 bit, I use them everyday, and they just work very well for me.
