Windows 7 Build 7600 Leaked, Ready For RTM?

It's pretty much guaranteed that any new builds of Windows 7 coming out of Microsoft will find themselves leaked to torrent sites in short order, and things appear to be no different for the most recent 7600 build. Many suspect that this could be the RTM build, which is due to be distributed to MS partners later this month in preparation for the October launch of Windows 7. It would appear that only the x64 version has currently been leaked on torrent sites, along with the x64 Windows 7 Server 2008 7600 build. People believe that the 7600 build is likely to be the same as the upcoming RTM, as previous leaks have all been numbered 72xx, with the large bump to 7600 being indicative of finalisation. If it is indeed the RTM build, then we will likely get somekind of confirmation from Microsoft soon, what with its Worldwide Partner Conference kicking off in New Orleans today. With all this, there is one thing that we can be confident in saying, and that is that Windows 7 has been through considerably widespread consumer testing, even before its official release. Let's hope it delivers come October.
