Tripredacus Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 A product reaches RTM stage when it has completed all alpha, beta and release candidate phases. It is also known as "Gold" phase, or the time when the product is final and can be then sold in stores or to resellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenX Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Since it has completed all the testing phrases and is final, why is it only released to manufacturer but not both manufacturer and public?That's my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 the point is, that developers should test their software (applications, drivers ..) and create updates if required before the public gets the sp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why you can go to the store and get an HP with a new OS before the retail copies are available. Or they try for a simultaneous release, so that new PCs hit the stores the same time as the new media does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 @Millen, yes this is the RTM! If MSFT now finds bugs, you'll get them later as Hotfixes/Updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
