		<description>It is NOT a hacked copy, it is the OTHER still valid but lesser known RTM ISO&#039;s that were available almost exactly at the same time. WZOR received the win 7 RTM WIM or VHD  file, which is a sort of zip or cabinet file containing the files to install. His WIM or VHD file is exactly the same as any other RTM wim, with the exception of an AIO file ( all in one, where they stick 32 and 64 bit files in the same iso so the installer gets to choose which one). 

The confusing part is WHY isnt his ISO the same as the full RTM? well, it installs the same file, although he used the rest of the files ( everything but the Wim or Vhd, essentially), from a previous version.  These files are essentially just the boot and the installer and are not going to be part of the installed version of windows. It was a clever way to use the RTM VHD package he got and made an ISO which installed the real RTM on your computer. The package on both Wzor and the other RTM are the same.

The makers of this ISO verifying program knew about this when they included the MD5 checksum for these ISO&#039;s when they made it. It IS a valid RTM, and although neither is a very useful AIO version, it is a valid one.

if you MUST be paranoid, I recommend buying Win7, and paying full retail price 

OR

You can do an installation of both the technet or other RTM and also Wzor into separate partitions,
and then without running them further, ( so you wont make various and sundry temporary files and web cookies and such), do a file comparison with CDCheck, which is a fast folder or drive comparing program (ignores dates and attributes, only compares file Data) Please also dont try to activate anything before you do the check, and keep them both disconnected from the internet, too, until you decide to use them. Doing so would make one different from the other, possibly, due to random keys or such, based on the activator.

IF any file is different, please let us know, I&#039;ll eat one of my socks for each file different and post it on channel 4 news. or 4 channel b, whichever is more convenient.

WZOR&#039;s RTM release happened to be one Ive used for a while, and only have abandoned ANY thing truly checkable by this iso verifyer because I am involved in using AIO&#039;s. 

AIO versions are superior, based on the ability to install either version of Win7, the 32 or 64 bit on installation. Also there is the possibility of installing a version such as starter, on a slower computer with slightly below the minimal resources available, so you can essentially have a single DVD ( two layer with tools added) to install any Windows 7 version you need to on any computer capable of running Some version of it. The Language packs are all available from Windows Update and other than from paranoia or convenience are people making or downloading ISO&#039;s or custom ISO&#039;s to include an other language. 

We are now in the state where we have to decide between having a KNOWN common AIO ISO with english as standard and add language packs later which will let us all KNOW for certain that we have the real deal,

OR

Everyone and their babelfish trying to make ISO&#039;s from updates, combining them so your cousin and his blonde wife can have a dvd of win7 with JUST Farsi And Norwegian (Bokmal AND Nyorsk) preinstalled languages         ...which will fuck up everyone&#039;s attempts at getting something for nothing by making SO many different ISO versions available that people will give up.

It is Quite possible that Microsoft itself is contributing to this mess and everyone and their dog are getting help from them and making custom installation DVD&#039;s using Microsoft&#039;s OWN WAIK.
Windows Automated Installation KIT is a tool that Microsoft has graciously made a version compatible with Windows 7. It is typically used by network or systems administrators to make modified versions of Windows to install, including the options to install over networks, and options to ADD to or REMOVE from windows itself. Scripted automatic installation, with NO user options, or select options, with the keys to the software included and also modifying settings of the computer.

I recommend you do NOT try to do this, unless you have had experience doing this on previous versions of windows, we do NOT need to see your messy ISO here causing troubles for people.


WZOR is not some lame person who is trying to ruin your day. 
The Win7 RTM by WZOR is vaild.
End of story.


use this:
Windows_7_Ultimate_Activated_AIO    (its 32 AND 64 bit versions, you pick when installing)
MD5: 60e5a382e6dc932165b1aaa60b991c98

that way you wont have problems with picking the latest activator.</description>
