There are rumors out there that this build could be fake and that build 7230 will be leaked tomorrow evening.
Wzor did post additional news about the RTM of Windows 7. It is an automatic translation of the Russian text that has been posted on the Wzor site:
Today at breakfast, Steve Balmer (Steve Ballmer) has told us that because of Steve Dzhobsa (Steve Jobs) with a “snow leopard” (Snow Leopard), about which he informed him yesterday, had to adjust their plans and that, prior to final assembly RTM release is now nothing left to do all that is three steps.
Step one: from 10 to 15 June will be the last public build is available for corporate partners Microsoft, this “public” assembly will be assembled:
6.1.7229.0.winmain.090604-1901. Since then and up until the final RTM release is no domestic partnership, or the assembly will not be available.
* (We are talking about formal access assemblies and can escape anything in the network, even the latest current build: 6.1.7230.0.winmain.090605-1900 – and this assembly may be RTM Escrow assembly).
Step Two: just since mid-June will be collected in the assembly – the candidates for the final RTM release, none of these assemblies will not be distributed to partners.
Step three: final RTM release of Windows 7 will be collected until the day of the summer solstice that is, until 21 June! In Microsoft realize that the case should be initiated prior to finish it before this mysterious date!
Since June 19, you may receive the RTM release of Windows 7 and the Internet.
Finish?: Since the assembly in the RTM release of Microsoft will be a closed test release before signing (sign-off), before the end of these procedures, no one can argue what will become an official build, the final RTM release of Windows 7.
The forthcoming assembly RTM build is not suggested that it would immediately appear on CONNECT’e or the subscribers to MSDN.
Be careful with this point a mass of false information about the final release. We will promptly inform you!
The eyes and Co.

Wow, RC 2 is being released tomorrow and you want to risk downloading an illigal leak of a service pack? Just be pacient and download when Microsoft has officially released something! You never know if an officialy released version is different than a leaked and the leaked screws up some thing.
The changelog is extremely extensive for a mere interim build, especially one so close to RTM. Maybe that’s why Microsoft have been workign on SP1 already? They cannot (or will not) test and implement the features/changes for the RTM (perhaps due to time constraints, attempting to get it out in time for the holiday season), so they have branced the code, polishing off the RTM whilst continuing development with additional changes, due to be implemented in SP1 of the OS.
It’d certainly be a new tactic for microsoft to try this, but then again, its not exactly “normal” for Microsoft to actually release an OS on time/ahead of schedule. even if it turns out this build is itself fake, assuming that changelog is accurate then I’m getting even more excited for Windows 7 – it at least proves that development of the OS won’t just stagnate with the “gold” release.
I feel like SP1 is unnecessary… no offense but Windows 7 without a Service Pack itself is faster than I expected…. and crashes less… Microsoft really has done it this time
tank you
Warning! Always download and install from Microsoft.
this is strange. SP 1 makes my PC crashe more. and now, i cant even use my gadgets…
it becomes reallly slow now. so much lagging
