Yes build 7600, the final RTM copy. I'm planning on buying it, I'm not using any activation cracks, i don't see how this is against the rules. I have 90 days of evaluation time until I get my key.

Screenshots dont really matter...its not like if you look back there are screenshots of windows 7 before the beta was even out, but im not an admin/mod so dont quote me on it. Plus people are not actually discussing it(well, until now

)

If you say so, then I guess it's ok.

Am I discussing it in any way? I don't think so.

If im a technet member, and i will be able to download the RTM, will it be free, or is it just a 90 day trial and then i have to buy a key?

If you are under NDA for testing you are not legally allowed to post any screen shots or discuss any features or add ons. I am on both Microsoft's and Apple's beta testing programs and I signed NDAs to not discuss them.

All I can really say is, yes I am using it, but I am under NDA.

Microsoft, once they go with RC public betas generally you are probably OK. However, I am not a lawyer, nor do I read all the fine print in an NDA. Also, sometimes agreeing to the EULA, implies agreement to the NDA.

Just a question, for those is that like technet where you pay for it, or is there somewhere you can sign up?

Apple is because of my large deployment, google search "Apple Seed program" and I am sure you can find an application. Or you can pay apple, like $60 or something to get their developer connection which allows you to get early builds of software so you can use it to develop your new products for it.

Microsoft is via my MSDN subscription, which is an enterprise thing. MS has all sorts of developer connections though, so I am not sure how to apply.

I got access to both because both companies asked me to participate. I also test out all the software for JAMF in beta, and I was a regular beta tester for a few video game companies back in the day.
