According to several reports from Neowin members, Windows 7 build 7077 has leaked to various torrent sites.Named as an RC escrow build it's likely that 7077.0.090404-1255 is the RC that will be modified to 7100 and distributed widely in May. Microsoft confirmed the 7100 path yesterday on its Engineering Windows 7 blog by advising users to modify the MinClient build number from 7100 to 7000 in order to enable beta to RC upgrades.
It is now expected that Microsoft will name 7100 as the RC build and builds 7105 onwards will be the ongoing development branched towards RTM. The existence of build 7105 was confirmed on Monday meaning Microsoft will have skipped (or reserved) builds 7001, 7002, 7003 and 7004 similar to the "skip" from 6956 to 7000 and then the reserved 7001 and 7002 builds for the beta to RC period.
Microsoft appear to be on target for the May public RC release but may still deliver the RC internally and to partners for April 10th as we confirmed in February.

10000+ peers? where are you getting that figure. i see about 7400 on TBP/Peer Exchange/DHT combined
That's it, you lure me into giving links and then I get banned
Lets just say, I use a well known portal instead of going to those sites directly, it gives me totals from the various trackers that already exist.
It's nearlly 11,000 now, and this of course doesn't count the various other methods people use to download.
Microsoft know the game, the numbers that have downloaded previous builds is staggering, and MS know this - they must love it as it's just becoming an unofficial mass beta test for them.
how funny
who knew Windows 7 existed close to 40 years ago
It seems, the comments have been moderated.
HA HA HA

They always save the best for last....
There was one leak a while back that was x64 first. Can't remember the build number though (7022 maybe).
I saw the 7057 x64 while browsing around today.
Sigh, I too await x64, looks like M$ will be the one to hand it to us, not leaks; hope they don't take too long...
Feels sad that we (1) install these OSes and wipe out their poo with our XPLite type toilet paper (as they can't learn to provide options in favor of users), (2) Optimize OS by default (these tweaking softwares are pain in butt) (3) MMC's enable/disable is SO lame! (simple check boxes would have done it like msconfig) but they want us to click more and more and more and MORE!

Go back to your DOS cave, troll
Is it some kind of law that with every new version of Windows we get the same trolling from dumb people who don´t have any clue about what they are talking about yet still wish to bore people with their preconceptions based on their experience with windows 15 years ago?
If you would have a clue about what you´re talking about you would know that there are less processes, several features and apps removed from Windows 7, resource usage is gone down significantly and the installation size is smaller (because a couple of gigs more or less is so important in these days of terrabyte drives!)

Thank you. These people really annoy me - look at the next version of Windows BEFORE you bash it.

Can anyone check their previous builds?
7048 too.
At least they've brought back the sound schemes - I havent seen them change anything since Windows 95 plus pack!
There's no reason *not* to do a 32bit version - if you've done the legwork for 64bit then 32bit is a doddle. And it's very useful for older PC's without 64bit support (Celeron M laptops) or even Atom based netbooks (also 32bit)
LOL, are you complaining at the leaker?
Because Microsoft will of course issue a simultaneous 32- and 64-bit release.
What is the point of 32-bit when 64-bit emulates the environment for most apps, for those few stubborn programmers? (and no stezo2k, there is PLENTY support for x64 since the release of Vista 64-bit)
If M$ is dropping a lot of support for legacy with Vista & 7, they should follow through and drop the 32-bit OS too, then we can finally move on from all those viruses (and yes I do use an AV, so no "get an AV" comments please).
It's time to move to the next stage and that is 64-bit; to make the game/CAD/etc makers code with full 64-bit support to allow use for more RAM by the apps.
Have a legacy computer that doesn't have an x86-64 CPU? No problem, use a legacy OS: WinXP. The over-ambition of people to run the latest OS on computers that were made with a stone, hammer and chisel for tools, is holding the progression of Tech far too much.
WinXP was/is a great OS, millions have said it, so use it if it's all you can use and let Win7 be the x64 OS it's meant to be.
Dropping 32-bit will push everyone, both M$ and 3rd party developers to focus on the 64-bit and let it progress.

..and the brand new Atom 32bit only line of cpu's? And why bother unecessarily restricting your users (and therefore you sales) when it runs *so well* on old hardware. It rocks on my Celeron-M based laptop - over ambition? do what son?
MS are already pushing 64bit - driver manu's HAVE TO make 64bit drivers thesedays (a far cry from WinXP).

MS Server is already x64 only. It's all atom fault.
leave them to Android, lol (kiddin')
You have a point, well if that's the case looks like the workforce will/should remain split into 32-bit and 64-bit teams, *sigh*:p
For the progression of technology, and yes, it is over-ambition if you'd expect M$ to restrict itself because of that Celeron M. As I said, "WinXP was/is a great OS, millions have said it, so use it if it's all you can use"
Now it's just to give the developers such a push.

Why? I produce 64bit code, to produce 32bit all I do is change the output type
Please don't do the whole M$ thing first off and second, why not sell to the 32bit market? MS are a company trying to make money. The fact is 7 runs really well on old hardware - it's faster than XP for me and I even get aero with 9700m graphics onboard - and the advent of the netbook makes this all the more important to MS (as sales of netbooks having taken off). I'm sick of XP, but my old lappy keeps on going - as do my two netbooks - and all 3 run 7 really nicely.
Because? Writing apps in .NET? Well it already targets 64bit. Not? Well make a 64bit version and then build it again for x86 - it's just a compiler option..
Hey man, I'm agreeing with you, I'm saying, it looks like 32-bit is still a necessity then.
That's the whole point of my argument, that M$ should be a bit more tech oriented instead of $$$$ all the time.
In the end, it doesn't make any business sense. Progression is gradual rather than a sudden jump and screwing over your existing consumer base.
If someone buys a new desktop/laptop/netbook that is 32bit then the OS and subsequent upgrades and/or new versions should come from the OEM.
How about shipping all new OEM PCs preinstalled with 64-bit? That sounds good and not drastic at all.

It has a greyeish shadow around the icon like in previous builds but on the edges it's more white and it sticks out more but I happen to like it.
I too dont like it...older one was better
I agree as well, of all the nice graphical changes they've done up to this point, this one looks really odd.
erm there up there ^^^

listed as a unsecured network . Now that wasn't listed before on the other builds and I have installed them all.
I read some where that the network set up was improved on this 7077 build.
thats kinda stupid..... considering it doesnt preview a file you open to edit *rolls eyes*
What do you mean?
should read
builds 7101, 7102, 7103 and 7104
If I'm not mistaken. Edit: Likely, ignore this post
