Just in... from a very reliable source. Windows 7 build 7105 is the Release Candidate build. Not just the escrow, but the final RC build. It is set to be released to the public from Microsoft in three days, on April 10th.

The build that just leaked, 7077 is also the RC, because 7105 is just 7077 re branded, for marketing purposes.

As with any rumor, things change. But, this is the current plan with Microsoft. I guess we will have to wait and see...

No, 7105 is NOT RC. It's an RTM branch winmain build.

[mikikrash]

I want the build 7077 x64 :fro:

[wguimb]

As Steve said, it's just rumor. If true, we will get the x64 build of 7077/7105 on Good Friday. :)

wguimb, your source URL is messed up. Please correct it so that I can take a look at the forum topic you linked to.

So what is new in 7077?

What has been fixed or changed?

[nautiqueskier]

As far as I know, this is how it works (and I may we way off on this, but just my understanding)

At build 7077, Microsoft branched off the Release Candidate. This does NOT mean 7077 is going to be the release candidate, just that further changes to winmain won't affect the Release Candidate branch. Winmain was then bumped to 7105 to make room for the final Release Candidate (which I have a feeling will be tagged 7100). In between now and the final RC candidate, Microsoft will likely rebuild the RC many times.

If there is a build to be released April 10th (and I am not in a position to confirm or deny that there is) then it would just be an RC-escrow, not the RC build.

@Kevin, the link was to JCXP (but Neowin does some link modifying). In any case the thread has now been locked.

silly question, where do you get the "About Windows" window? I feel stupid never having figured that out.

[splur]

Run winver

[Kestis]

Run winver

Or you can go to my computer, press alt button, and then old good toolbar comes out :)

[DiEMOS]

can't wait to update from 7068, looks great :)

[crsh]

does anyone know if quake live (more specifically quake live's punkbuster) works with build 7077? used build 7000 64bit before and it didnt work there..

[wguimb]

7077 upgrade from 7068 was flawless. Everything works, and it seems faster. As Gomer Pyle would say, "ShaZam". I think the Windows Team has a winner here! I will try a fresh install on my Netbook next.

The post has been pulled and identified as not correct.

[UncleSpellbinder]

Still no 64-Bit. :(

[freakyfriday]

Still no 64-Bit. :(

you one of those users also.

[Andrmgic]

Yeah.. 64bit and I'll be a happy camper.

Otherwise my home machine and workstation at the office will remain on 7068.

[Access Denied]

I'll be with you 64 users soon thankfully. Just not now.

Finally got the OK to get the new CPU,MOBO, RAM and Video card to add to my current 650W PSU, Optical/Hard drives. *dance*

[bagpus]

Well I am all prepped for the 64bit version.. someone nudge me when it pops up.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

Screen shots look good, waiting to see if this is officially the RC or not

Posting from my HP Mini Note running 7077 ... working awesome! Noticed small improvements over 7068.
