Release Details:

The release, titled “Windows 7 Ultimate - Build 7048 x64″ was released at approximately 8:00 PM Pacific Time on mininova. It contains the build string: 7048.winmain.090219-184 or 7048.0.x64fre.winmain.090219-1845 (Source: DiamondNRG). Build 7048 screenshots can be found in our other blog post.

32-Bit?:

When asked about why the release was chosen to be 64-bit instead of 32-bit, DiamondNRG replied:

“I thought about getting x86 for my daughter … I mean cuz its so pathetic”

and

“Nah, you x86 guys always get the new builds first, so its time for the x64 club to fight back, so I am giving them TWO newer builds first”

Commenting on whether or not he would release a 32-bit (x86) version, he said:

“…as a heads up will NOT BE TODAY. My connection simply can’t handle it, even if I do/did have it”

and

“hopefully be tomorrow…. MAYBE”

(tomorrow = 3-4-09)

- Launch UltraISO, copy all the files in a new project, and click on:
Bootable -> Load Boot File -> Select boot.bin
- Make ISO & Burn.

MagicISO

- Download vlite, when installed, get the “boot.bin” file from Program Files/vlite (you can delete vlite after that).
- Launch MagicISO, copy all the files in a new project, and click on:
Tools -> Load Boot Image -> Select boot.bin
- Make ISO & Burn.

-or- Copy all of the files downloaded onto a bootable flash drive and boot in.

-or- If you are running Windows 7 x64 already, just double click the setup.exe.

How To Activate:

The 7048 build can be activated like all of the previous Windows 7 builds. Use a beta key from Microsoft to activate it.
