Windows 7 build 7227 leaks

Advertisement (Why?)
Not a week goes by these days without a Windows 7 leak so why should this week be any different?

Last week it was 7201 and this time around it is 7227. The build tag is 7227.0.winmain_sp.090602-2110 indicating that the build is just over a week old. As ever the build is available at the usual places.

According to Russian site Wzor, sometime between June 10th and June 15th, the last build handed out to corporate partners will be distributed. The build will be 6.1.7229.0.winmain.090604-1901. After this only RTM candidate builds will be compiled. None of these builds will be distributed externally to partners.

Officially Microsoft has targeted mid to late July as the RTM date for Windows 7. It's possible that if the build quality of the RTM candidate builds is very high over the next few weeks then we could see Microsoft sign-off on RTM by month end.

Bleh... no surprises here I guess. Another day or two, another leak, ad repeat ad nauseum.
#1.1 Lord Ba'al on 11 Jun 2009 - 00:28
It's only one day older than the 7201 build from the win7ids build tree, so nothing new here.

The constant leaks aren't worth installing. I'm just here waiting patiently for the RTM of my two much anticipated products from our friends in Redmond. Exchange 2010 and Windows 7

actually it is. It gets faster and better and more solid. I instal 7201 and its like twice as fast. And more stable. So you see your puppy grow and mature. And you play with more and more stuff. I like stuff. I like stuff to play with. I'm just a big kid. Micro toys macro toys. I like em. This is a great time to be alive. We got fedora. 7 . snow mobile i mean leopard. Where is the ubantu. And I wonder if suzy is working on anything. And Its been a long time since I herd lindows. Now we just need a 50000 rpm hard drive with like 500 mbits per second or somesing. Or a gru with 200000 shaders and ddr7 at 1 terahertz. And a cpu at 12 microns. Ah you say thats too big. One can only think of big things. Big dreams. Oh and make that 6 tera hard drive already. Plus we are ready for singularity hard drive interface that feeds your data through a wormhole. And a cpu that does things in no time. A memory that stores things without storing. Called zen mem. I dont know where this is going. Technology bless you all!!!! That is my religion. I worship apple intel and micro soft hard harsh fail whatever.

It's at times like this I worry that people really do think like that. Read the above block of text aloud; now imagine it as a voice in your head that you can't switch off.

It's horrifying.

ive been upgrading to these leaks since RC, it's worked well so far. To be perfectly honest i've not noticed any difference!

I'll do a fresh install when RTM comes.

Yeap and you know i am getting tired of these idiots that upload none working copies of leaks that dont install just to frustrate people or I just love how torrents slow down right towards the 40 meg end of the file so you seed more. What I dont get though is how a 3.6 gig vista file expents to 14 gig on your hard drive to install vista and you only get to 2.33 gig windows 7 to expand to 7.2 gig or something. I wish it were just 1.8 like it supposed to to keep a logical ratio. And why is leopard for make looks more like a picture and windows 7 more like a cartoon for kids. Things are getting clearer on apple and cartoon like fogged on windows.

wonder if they're planning on fixing the ultra annoying "scroll into view on first click" explorer behavior when in list view w/lots of files - cant doubleclick, right click or slow doubleclick/rename anything when its column is partly scrolled out of view - even if the filename itself is fully in view. this is a huge PITA.

god, that thing is sooo nasty and irritating, i haaate it!!! it would be ok to have it as an Explorer option, but not a default please!!
#8 Ambroos on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:24
This one is almost the same as 7201 that has leaked and totally not worth the install. It's originally a VHD and installs from that might be less stable than a real installation.

Yeah, dont see the point of reinstalling every week just for a new version number.. 7100 works fine for me, and will do until I can afford it, or get technet plus subscription so I can evaluate it...

It's only a day newer than build 7201, I'll pass.
#12 scozzie on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:32
This is a bastardised version of the 7227 vhd files that leaked with the 7201 installer...who knows what **** has been hidden in there...might pass on this one...it's not a true iso leak.

And in any case, 7230 will be leaked by the end of the week

i'm still hoping they tweek that taskbar, may give it some depth or somethin. even with areo enabled it still looks a little too plain. i know microsoft is trying to keep it simple, but maybe just more 3 dimensional.
#13.1 ZombieFly on 10 Jun 2009 - 11:22

the taskbar "button" effect looks poor. with 10 mins work from a decent designer it could look way better. My bet is that it'll stay like that forever. MS continually let themselves down with UI, crapple seem to get it right.
#13.2 Rolith on 10 Jun 2009 - 15:01
"with 10 mins work from a decent designer" yeah, because Microsoft, one of the biggest and best companies in the world, hasn't put a single designer on the taskbar... ever...

No, the taskbar's look isn't built on the research and usablilty studies and on the back of at least one highly trained UI designer (probably one of the best in the industry) hundreds of hours of work, it's just some programmer's 10 minute attempt at something shiny...

You can say you don't like the work, but belittling the effort that went into it is a pathetic way to make your opinion seem legitimate..

I wish they'd put an x on all 4 sides of the windows so my cat doesnt need to drag the mouse to the upper left corner its soooooooooooooo loooooooooong. I got a 30 inch screen well 4 of em on a frame. Moahahaha. I need 8 way sli for that to game on and the details should be nice. That is 5120 by 3200 full resolution. It takes 2 days to refresh. Kidding.
#14 Dannydeman on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:37
Need to reinstall my brothers laptop, so I will install this build on it. My main PC is still running on 7077, which works fine. Don't really see the point to upgrade to 7100, since there won't be noticable differences.

#15 Krosan on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:39
Waiting for the RTM, haven't installed any other version yet though
#16 Darrian on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:40
I'm going to install it just because I have this bug in 7201 where if I turn off my HDTV, when I turn it back on and it syncs all my open program windows shrink as if I'd changed to a lower resolution. Didn't happen with 7100 or any build previously, so I have high hopes that it's fixed in this build (as it's really starting to get irritating )
#17 Siddanth on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:44
yest i had seen in piratebay about this one 7227 and 7225 too as 7225 is sme as 7200 SP1 dint go to download it ...relesed by some kflsh i feel...
#18 badblood on 10 Jun 2009 - 07:47
Another day another leak. Not progressing through the build numbers are quickly as I thought they would, but the speculation of the RTM buil number is rife. 7300 maybe?
Can't wait for the RTM in about 6 weeks time, I'll be doing away with my Vista install at home and migrating from the RC on my work laptop. Can't wait.

WINDOWS 8!! :drool:

you know, i'm really wondering what they will do for windows 8... how do you outshine after windows 7? probably, you don't.
i hope they make Aero nicer because it still doesn't convince me. the glass diagonal blurry texture, title bars, and task bar... no no no, ugly.

i'm seriously afraid that they will just add bloat and stuff and whatever, fate forbid it.

BUT... if the keep polishing and pushing ahead, listening to user's feedback it will be a godsend.
and the inclusion of Gazelle (IE replacement) will probably be worth pirating it.

I'm running build 7100 here still. It's still fast and stable

Like some the guys & girls above plan to wait till the RTM goes public.
There really is no point upgrading at every build now since they are (I hope) bug fixing builds.

I just hope to god Microsoft doesn't put anything huge in the windows 7 at the last minute since that may brake the whole lot. We don't need a new skin/theme either for the love of god. Aero works and it is VERY sexy indeed (better looking than OS X)

I'm hoping for the RTM to be released to public in June (in the last week) or in july.
One thing i have noticed is that Microsoft have been updating, no slow downs, infact i noticed a tiny speed bump in booting my machine.

Come on Microsoft, time to blow Apple out the ****ing water, (snipped)

That's not exactly true. RTM means released to manufacturing as in released to be manufactured. The RTM build is what's on the discs we'll be buying. These later builds are most likely going to go into the first service pack.

Not exactly true for you too.
RTM's definition is fine; however one of the main reasons for the RTM is, yes, so that the Manufacturers can start building machines with this release on it; it's also so that the Manufacturers can also ensure that their device drivers work properly. Albiet some should have been testing all along, but until it's officially RTM, that's when the bulk of this work takes place. It's possible that some of these updated drivers *could* make it into the final Retail build.

Trust me, I know what RTM is.

Wikipedia
RTM

The term "release to manufacturing" or "release to marketing" (both abbreviated RTM)—also known as "going gold"—is used to indicate that the software has met a defined quality level and is ready for mass distribution either by electronic means or by physical media. The term does not define the delivery mechanism, it only states that the quality is sufficient for mass distribution. The deliverable from the engineering organization is frequently in the form of a gold master CD used for duplication or to produce the image for the web.

In most if not all cases, RTM happens prior to general availability GA where the product is released to the public.

RTM builds are not given to the public by Microsoft! Technet and MSDN yes, but public, no! They wouldn't be able to sell Windows on the store shelves if they gave away the final build! lol.

No. RTM is exactly what will be on the retail discs. If there are any updates to be had, they will be on Windows Update at the time of retail release. When XP was released, there was already about 80MB of updates waiting on it!
#33.8 RangerLG on 11 Jun 2009 - 01:38
My whole point was that the OP said they hope the RTM build will be publicly released in June or July. It will be released to the public in October unless they are Technet or MSDN members (which is still not public).

Ok, so the RTM will be released to manufacturers June/July and leaked to the public about a week beforehand.

Semantics, eh?

7100 fixed almost all issues with 7000. For those with 7000, it was worth it to move to 7048, 7057, 7077, etc since each one of those builds fixed noticeable issues with the previous builds. But if you have 7100, that should be good enough until RTM.

Every new build adds a little refinement, and of course bug-fixes.

it'll be so cool that you wont need a ui it'll just take a few quick commands at a cmd prompt and you'll be away laughing

I'll bet 75% of these "leaks" are by MS somehow. What better way to get these builds tested in the real world than to "leak" them onto the internet. You know good & well MS monitors some of the computer sites.
#43.1 Thunderbuck on 10 Jun 2009 - 17:19
I know what you mean, but I don't agree. There's already a lot of buzz surrounding Windows 7 (rightfully so, if the great experience I've had with the beta and RC is typical), but leaking every single internal build could actually be harmful.
#43.2 +Brandon Live on 10 Jun 2009 - 17:29
Ugh.

These leaks are more of a distraction to us than anything. These conspiracy theories about them being somehow sanctioned are absurd.

Geese Brandon, didn't you know MS puts spyware into the RC builds? It's all done so they can come rape my dog and steal my pron.
#43.4 DaRkMaDnEsS on 10 Jun 2009 - 19:28
well i believe than MS is allowing this leaks

and they don't do any thing to stop it like internal keys which can be used only for developer

and stop it from working with Beta or Rc keys

so it`s like this leaks are by MS

Brandon Live is a Microsoft employee. If he says they're not leaking the builds I believe him. They're interim builds that are probably only built to test specific fixes and were intended to be removed and replaced with the current milestone as soon as the defect is verified as repaired.

No worries, Windows Defender will protect me!

...somewhat. They can't do anything about my poor raped dog unfortunately.

If Microsoft wanted them to stop, it would be very easy. Simply set the newer builds to reject publicly released product keys. Not doing something so simple is tantamount to sanctioning them.

Reverse the build number. "1337"

that has to be the blurriest screenshot ever.

Hopefully they fixed the bugs in the login screen where domain accounts still show as {COMPUTERNAME}{LOGIN} and user images are somehow swapped between users, both still present in 7201.

I think that 7201 came from a Windows 7 internal development server (?) and that it is an internal developer milestone build equivalent to a RC2 version but less debugged than for a public one. And so 7201 build has been duplicated into 7206 winmain build. Right ?
In this case 7207 is only 1 more build than 7206 ! So the question is : what is contained in SP builds at this stage of development...
