    First screenshots of build 7070 leak, RC-Escrow coming

    Two days ago, details of Windows 7 build 7068 leaked. Now, screenshots of build 7070 have arrived, and the story goes a little something like this: "I just came back from Microsoft, since my Dad works there. He works for in the SQL server division and here are some screenshots I took about the new build 7070. I don't know if there is anything new to this build, but they installed it yesterday, so it probably will be leaked soon. They said it was a major update; maybe not to the user interface but more to the Kernel. Just letting you guys know "

    Of course, there's no "major update to the kernel" but the screenshots do look legitimate. The screenshot above is just one of three. You can see the other two over at Facepunch forums. I've also done a little digging and found a few build strings since 7068:

    •6.1.7069.0.winmain.090323-1630
    •6.1.7070.0.winmain.090324-1853
    •6.1.7071.0.winmain.090326-1750
    •6.1.7072.0.winmain.090327-1845

    Since the CMD prompt clearly shows this is 6.1.7070 i will imagine that this is not a fake.... however lets not forget to take this with a pinch of salt since there are some really good photo shoppers out there but all the same good news if it is true and something about redmond and his 71 and 72 biulds.... watch this space id say

    Yeah, M$ tends to release late, but before its ready

    I don't plan on changing from my 7000 build until the RC comes out.
