Vista - 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

Full Story: First screenshots of build 7070 leak, RC-Escrow coming - Ars Technica

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

i hope it doesnt come out too soon lol
as i just installed 7057 on my eeepc and cant b bothered downloading another one lol!

-Braydon

it is looking like it could be a REAL build...... but this close to the release of the RC ''personally'' i wont be upgrading till then....


i just installed x64 7068 so that will keep me going ...





SK

any ideas on the RC date?

-Braydon

i think its said to be in may...... but that could change







SK

"but that may change"
all most certainly will.

have u ever seen anything that was actually released on the day that it was ment to? LOL

-Braydon

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.

~Lordbob

i personally wouldnt mind it comming out later but only if it is properly finished lol

-Braydon

Exactly.
