Windows 7 RTM Escrow Build 7260!

(Follow me on Twitter: msftkitchen)

Well, folks, it looks like 7260 just might be the magic build number that Windows 7 RTM will adorn! wzor.info has posted the following build string:

6.1.7260.0.win7_rtm.090612-2110

It won’t be long now before Windows 7 RTM’s! That build string is an escrow build, which means it’s being put through the wringer to see if it’ll pass as RTM material. If not, another build will be compiled in the win7_rtm branch to test and the process starts all over again. Regardless of which build it ends up being, wzor states the final RTM build will be compiled by the 19th (that’s three days from now) and leaked shortly thereafter. It’s getting exciting now… I can’t wait to replace Vista with Windows 7! How about you?

    I've ditched Vista since RC1 appeared. Not that Vista is bad, it's just that 7 is better.

  • Stephen Chapman:

    Bush: Yeah, I've been using Windows 7 pretty frequently myself. I've been dual-booting between Vista and 7. As soon as new builds leak (for x64, that is), I've updated my Windows 7 partition with the new build. I'll be happy when I'm able to merge both partitions and just have a Windows 7 machine. =)

    I've been running full time on Windows 7 since the early betas… and in a worldwide domain as well. Nearly everything works well.

    BTW I'm hearing rumours that 7300 is likely to be the gold version as well.

    Cheers, Glen
