As you can see above, screenshots of Windows 7 build 7077 have started to appear around the Web. There are also reports that the 32-bit version has been leaked and is readily available on various websites. Nevertheless, a good source has told me there are no noticeable differences between build 7068 and any of the 707x builds. This is much more important than the information leak of build 7070, though it's not immediately apparently. In the "About Windows" dialog box, there isn't an actual build string as we've seen in previous interim builds. It simply says "Version 6.1 (Build 7077)." The only other build we've seen this for is in the beta build released to the public (which also was leaked before Microsoft gave the download to testers): "Version 6.1 (Build 7000)."

The build string for the latest build we know about is "7077.0.090404-1255," which indicates that it was compiled less than a week ago: April 4, 2009, at 12:55pm. Some of you will realize that this is 20 minutes after the supposed build 7105 was compiled, which is widely rumored to be a milestone build. Microsoft only increments the second digit of the build number if an important point in development has been reached. The software giant is expected to give a new build to testers this month, and a public Release Candidate build is coming in May.

Screenshots? 7077 itself is leaked by a russian torrent site and I'm downloading it now

It's on Mininova!

Just a fyi for those who are downloading it - the primary 5 seeders stopped seeding it for some time (probably due to availability restrictions as requested by the russian torrent site)

But i think the seeders will start seeding right after torrent.ru allows to release this leak.
The speeds are pretty high, but might be a risk.

Also I personally confirm this is 7077

Then why bother doing a post if we cant see any new eyecandy? I mean, do a text post if there is some new code updates, sure.

But i understand why the about box pic, to show that he was not lying.

It's better to wait for official RC (for me, sorry)
