Another Windows 7 'Release Candidate' Leaks

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft still hasn't shipped a public "release candidate" for Windows 7 ? that's expected next month ? but another preliminary version of the code has leaked to BitTorrent sites.

A release candidate, RC for short, is the final test version of the code before Microsoft releases the product to manufacturing and delivers the final product to vendors.

The latest build to leak purports to be Windows 7 build 7057. The most recent leak occurred less than two weeks ago, and was numbered 7048.
