I obviously can not link to it but they made it and it is 'out there'. I have it atm.

Here's a wall suited for when 7 goes gold for all you fish lovers www.staknhalo.com//Public/Temp/RTM.jpg

I couldn't agree more, particulary at lower resolutions. I actually prefer the 'Starter' edition wallpaper (thanks ekos8).I'm assuming the additional wallpapers added for the RC will be included in the RTM? I wasn't too keen on the psychedelic ones, although the I did like the Seattle selection. All the walls from RC are still included. The new wall just replaces the beta fish. where? i don't see the fishy anywhere? :/ I heard it doesn't work, but hey they could always add it through WU after RTM. I doubt it though. From my understanding they understood Ultimate Extras was a flop and have decided to forget all about them for 7.

They're arbitrary tbh.

We'll find out tomorrow for sure during Ballmer's keynote.

Nah, it's the final wallpaper(s) as you can tell by looking at these screenshots of the leaked RTM. Even if they do make another RTM build (Vista's first RTM build was 16384, but they built a 16385 and finally settled on 16386), they wont change the wallpaper at all.

Just got a hold of the Starter Edition wallpaper, they should have made it the default for all, its a lot better

No one was talking about the vhd or leaks....simply asking what lead to my statement of this being the official default wallpaper. But to amuse you the reason they had to release it as a vhd is to prevent the build being tracked back to the original leaker. And fyi all, the above image came directly out of the vhd untouched so all the metadata is intact for those anal about that stuff like me

This is it unless they make a last minute change before RTM Starter Edition:

Please call it 7ize and not Sevenize

That's odd, I install Vista from my 16GB USB all the time, no partitions on it or anything :/

I have a different view. I'd suggest not jumping to conclusions that the products are "still alive" until he says otherwise. As far as I have seen, they're "not in development anymore", and I have seen no indications otherwise. That said, if he is working for Microsoft, good for him. He has earned/deserves it.
