Redmond is still running low on Joe the plumbers as another Windows 7 leak surfaces today.This time around it's the second RTM branch build to leak, 7127. Approximately a month after 7106 leaked. The build string is 7127.0.090507-1820 meaning it was compiled just over a week ago so it's still fresh off the blocks. Microsoft is progressing steadily with the RTM branch and company insiders have indicated the software giant is well on target to finalise the RTM build over the summer. Our guess? Late June or early July.
Microsoft is expected to announce general availability of Windows 7 for before the Christmas period, cashing in on holiday PC purchasers.
the RC has no debug code so it performs faster and lighter.

Is what he's saying true? I would think 7127 is faster than 7100. What do you guys think??
You already can pin any shotcut to the taskbar

No, I took that to mean that the RC is clean of debug code, and the later leaked versions are betas of the RTM and hence have debug code back in them. Therefore the newer builds are actually slower.
Anyway, keep the leaks coming!
Upgrade worked fine for me, same key used as well.
Have you actually *tried* XP Mode? I actually said the same thing when I first heard about it... but then the inevitable happened; I tried it and it needs a lot of improvements.
Oh, yeah. And once RTM leaks, it's also MS.
Yup, way to many builds since the first leak for it to be 'accidental'. I'm certainly not complaining, all the feedback on the net for all the builds leaked to date is win-win (no pun intended) for both end user and Microsoft. Don't shut that tap off just yet Redmond...keep on leakin' !
Beta builds is plausible, think of the benefits to MS, RTM - ease off on the sarcasm dude.
Agreed on this.
This is at least an excellent way to keep the buzz going while taking zero responsibility for the support.
I guess all those trojan horse inside the w7 leaks are from MS trying to build a huge zombi network of PCs ... yeha sure ...
wat
What people do with the builds after they are leaked has nothing to do with whether MS is leaking them on purpose or not.
What? Since when? Source? Why haven't I seen news of this?
Total confusion here. Am I the only one that hasn't heard a word of this?
It's from steven sinofsky
"As we always say, please do not use what are reported to be "leaked" builds. So far many of them have contained risky payloads."

there ya go... maybe you people should sometimes read official comments comming from e7
Maybe, but I know for a fact that this leak came from someone that hasn't leaked before, and that works outside MS.
How are the two connected? By your logic Apple never actually released iLife because someone repackaged it with a trojan.
Srsly?
Isn't "Joe the Plumber" a porn superstar for boiking Sarah Palin on the bathroom floor?
This was actually the only reason I couldn't use 7100 (my olds play those games often). If 7127 is free of this bug, then I could see myself using Windows 7 for sure.
I was using the latest Nvidia drivers at the time. I may test again at some point with 7127, once my data quota refreshes on the 19th (my timezone).
so nope
I installed the December leak on a clean computer and it works like a charm...
Has anyone *dared* to upgrade a working, main computer? I'm still runnning XP, never switched to Vista but I'm tempted to upgrade my XP version with this Win7 leak...
Also, I think these versions are set to stop working at some point... any workarounds for that?
I had the same problemwith upgradingfrom vista.
Another time the upgrade process faulted in the middle and I lost my C drive
Did a clean install and it works like a dream

I also had that problem while uprgading from 7077 to 7100 on my laptop, after upgrade failure all the permissions got messed up, so I had no access to C: , but still I could go to any C: subfolder by typing exact path and hopefully got working network sharing to my librarys (but to access my laptop from other computer I've should type IP address instead of computer name) where all the needed files was, so I did backup and then format C and clean install.
This can be done in vista,Xp,...
I am really thinking of going back to Vista or maybe just caving in and getting a DVR from TWC. I have been using WMC for years but the constant issues of connection, bad digital recordings (or no recordings because WMC has a fit), bugs and having to adjust my antenna all the time makes me wonder if a TWC DVR at $20 a month would just be worth my hassle.
If Microsoft would support cable cards more, this would solve half the issues but it seems I am hoping for too much. If it makes sense, Microsoft probably hasn't thought of it yet.
you can do but i wouldnt recommend it, may be more buggier
Ya buggier.
well the screenshot does not have any new stuff in it...... well i thk that this leaked relase must have some bug fixes...nothing more than that........ well right now im doing good with windsws 7 rc.. its actualy forcing me to get myself upgraded from winxp to win7 ..... which i have been using since 6 yrs.......
well the dream feature which i really want in windows os wld be that when ur downloading a huge file and u dont want ur power to be consumed more.. u just want the downloading stuff to work, rest processing must go off....when it goes in new power saving mode......... i hope it comes some day......

well that was really well written.
I remember hearing that same argument when XP came out and people said that they wouldn't upgrade from win98. Funny how things change.
But for the rest of use that need a stable machine should upgrade, that won't crash with ANY software, must update. Actually even the games runs a bit faster so you should.

Windows 7 is really really minor upgrade over Windows Vista. Btw i use Visual Studio 2008 under Vista.
RTM ESCROW 7130 is right on his way, take a look on the folder of this guy:
RTM branch will have many builds before the final RTM.
there's more than enough improvements and features in seven to warrant a new version. seven is not a minor upgrade.

Sorry but it is minor.

Not only does it provide risk-free testing, it increases the amount of distribution units. Therefore everyone is not banging on MS servers.
This time MS is doing it right - if you want to introduce a new O/S - then let the techs have it. Isn't that smarter then showing end users "how easy it is to create a panaromic photograph" Ha Ha!!
