A few weeks ago I said that We would probably have Windows 7 RC somewhere in April, more precisely April 10th. They were also circulating rumors as the version built 7048 va fi Release Candidate. As I said, rumors. That's because, more recently, it is conveyed how Windows 7 RC will be released a little later than the first time was announced, namely somewhere in Last week of May 2009. The exact date is not known.
Because Microsoft stubbornly not to do Nothing public at the moment, It is assumed Like RC will be the version built 7061, version out of the "factory" by 5 days ago (March 11).
* The most recent build compiled is build 7061 on March 11, 2009
* Release candidate for Windows 7 & for Windows Server 2008 R2 will be released to the public during the last week of May 2009
Obviously, nothing is sure.
These postponers put most of the users Windows 7 Beta, which in the meantime tests versions "escaped" on stream (Such test We did with the version built 7057, for which I did not find driver, again performance Leave it to be desired; We recommend waiting public launches – When will this be – by Microsoft. Built 7000 runs superb), while certain users, selected by Microsoft, will test from April, versions escrow-build (test versions for identification bug):
* Internal RC-escrow builds of Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2 will be delivered to select testers on the fourth week of April 2009
* An Escrow Build is a build where development halts and developers & beta testers start testing the product for any show-stopper bugs. Microsoft always emphasizes this to testers to concentrate only on the regressions and confirmation of fixes when asking for feedback on escrow builds.
It remains to be seen when it will decide and the microsofta to give a official answer, in the meantime we expect that Date of launch to change again. : P
