Windows 7 Build 7070 Appears

Next news
8:21 PM - March 30, 2009 by Marcus Yam

Progress in Windows 7 is expected -- perhaps even demanded -- but we still take joy in seeing each new build of the upcoming operating system hit the internet.

The latest Windows 7 build number to make its way out is 7070, spotted on Facepunch forums as posted by someone who claims to be the son of a Microsoft SQL server division worker.

Nothing remarkably new was revealed in the few screenshots posted, but Ars Technica added to its report on that matter that it had heard that build 7070 could be under consideration to be the Release Candidate.

Last week Microsoft let slip out its Windows 7 Release Candidate download page for TechNet subscribers. The ‘leaked’ release notes for the supposed upcoming RC wore with it a “Published: May 2009” line.

Previous rumors picked April for the Release Candidate, but with the most solid information now saying May, it’s a little difficult to believe that a recent build will sit idle for more than a month before being released to testers.

There is also reported evidence of the existence of builds 7071 and 7072, though we haven’t seen the images of those floating around just yet. The road to Windows 7 continues.

This isn't really related to the article, but I had to laugh when I saw a link to an article from 2000(!!!) listed in the Reviews section to the right. I can honestly say I'm not too concerned about Intel releasing this right now.

OMG a PIII, man I don't even have a Phenom 2 yet, lol.

Seriously though I remember seeing a review for a creative video card, I assumed it was recent, it turns out to be for a ti4200 or soemthing, I was like oh...

I'm running Windows 7 on a Pentium III right now. It's not too snappy, but it works well when the eye-candy's turned off.

Cannot be real, as in ver. 7053 it already stated "for evalution purposes only". Why would they have changed it back to testing purposes only. But then again, who really cares? Looking out for the final release!

I've given up keeping up with the latest releases, I'll just stick with XP for gaming, and Ubuntu Studio 8.10 for everything else.

I upgraded from Vista x64 to running Win7 7068 x64. I'm definitely looking forward to the final release, but won't be keeping up with the incremental builds. 7068 is it for me until the RTM is out.
