Tidbit: Windows 7 To Surface on TechNet/MSDN This Month
Microsoft
Written by Paul Paliath on Thursday, July 02, 2009

UPDATE: The timestamps on builds 7266, 7267, and 7268 have been updated with the correct information.

We’ve received word from a trusted source close to GeekSmack that Windows 7 will be on TechNet/MSDN before the end of the month, so those of us with a premium TechNet/MSDN account will be able to get the official RTM build about 2 months ahead of when Windows 7 will hit store shelves on October 22nd. Microsoft is currently hard at work on getting that RTM build out to the world, and to ensure a smooth release, they’re trying to locate and remove any serious show-stopper bugs.

Here is a list of the latest builds that were compiled:

6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110 - Leaked June 17, 2009 (VHD and ISO)
6.1.7261.0.win7_rtm.090615-1900 - RTM Candidate - Voted no go (7233 ?)
6.1.7262.0.win7_rtm.090617-1900 - RTM Candidate - Voted no go
6.1.7263.0.win7_rtm.090619-1900 - RTM Candidate - Voted no go
6.1.7264.0.win7_rtm.090622-1900 - Leaked June 30, 2009 (ISO)
6.1.7265.0.win7_rtm.090624-1905 - RTM Candidate
6.1.7266.0.win7_rtm.090625-1902 - RTM Candidate
6.1.7267.0.win7_rtm.090629-1952 - RTM Candidate                                                                                                               6.1.7268.0.win7_rtm.090701-1900 - RTM Candidate (still a rumored build – no confirmation yet that it has been compiled)

The RTM release is closing in and we’ll be on top of that, so stay tuned to GeekSmack for more exciting Windows 7 content!
