    I tried Google-ing for some more information or screenshots of the build but so far nothing. Do you have anymore information about it? Any major changes?

    And apparently, Microsoft is already working on Win 7 SP1. :eek:

    Not really news, service packs are planned. Its not even written by the same team writing 7 they have several teams working on various stages of a product at one time.

    The current work on the service pack doesnt include fixes. The current work on the service pack and what it will be when its released are two different things. Typically any planned features that couldn't make it into RTM or corporate customer requests they intend to release to the masses are apart of this.

    Yeah, that's the only picture that's been going around as "proof" that 7200 exists but it doesn't really show anything, especially since the guy is using the Windows Classic theme.

    Yeah, I know what you mean but from previous experience, SP1 is usually meant for system stability (looking at Vista primarily but not the only example) and rarely brings any obvious new features.

    Also from experience removes features. Dont know what it will bring for 7 but each service pack for NT and 2000 made alot of changes not all those obvious on the outside.

    I started out on XP SP1 so never looked at the difference between it and RTM but SP2 brought some changes that at first were considered bad. Once people got past the problems it was all good. My CPU score in 3dmark06 doubled and for the first time outbenched 2000 SP4.

    Hang tight, as soon as I get Photoshop fired up we'll have an early alpha screenshot of Windows 8.

    Seriously guys, this rush to be the first to post about 'new' releases is getting kind of silly.

    Too many builds, this would mean that once released, windows 7 should run like a charm without any bugs. Otherwise.....

    No more builds then Vista that I know of. I had more luck with RC1 then I had with RTM that should tell you something. Someone told me a meaning for RTM forget it now but something about messing the product up.

    7200 is already 'obsolete'. MSFT has ack'd that 7125 and 7135 have forked out of the 7200 branch.
