According to a new blog from Russian website Wzor, Microsoft’s
Windows 7 team has reached a new development milestone and the latest Windows 7
build has jumped to 7105.
The new build was compiled on April 4th with the string 6.1.7105.0.winmain.090404-1235.
Overall, the change log lists improved networking support, added support for
some previously incompatible programs, added support for new drivers for
various devices, extended support for sensory based displays, extras in the LP,
small interface improvements, and small optimizations and changes in the
kernel.
As it stands, Microsoft plans to
release the Windows 7 RC-Escrow build sometime this month, so it is possible
that there may be a leak within this week. On the other hand, the official public
Release Candidate build is scheduled for May next month, while the Release to
Manufacturing is scheduled for September in five months.
Just recently, Microsoft told
its partners that Windows 7 RTM was delayed to September because developers and
partners are currently unsatisfied with the builds. No specific reasons were
mentioned other than the fact that there were still a few bugs. Nevertheless, if
Microsoft’s schedule does not change, Windows 7 should officially be released in
November and we hope no later than January 2010.
