Apparently, Windows 7 RC1 has leaked to the internet and I’ve obtained some screenshots. The build number of this leak is 7100. I would take the fact that this is the Release Candidate with a grain of salt because thats what people also said about Windows 7 build 7049. The day Windows 7 RC1 was leaked was April 24, 2009 which means that Microsoft is just a week away from the rumoured official Windows 7 RC release date. Currently Windows 7 is very close to the RTM stages which I suspect will happen between August-September 2009.
Some rumours have been circulating the internet saying that Windows 7 RC will have a very different user interface from the Beta. What leads people to believe this is because Microsoft has split up the build’s into two sections, which they did while Windows XP was in development, and XP ended up getting a brand new interface. It makes sense for Microsoft to do this because you would not want a new interface leaking to the internet. If these rumours are true the two build branches would be merged into one when Windows 7 RC1 is officially released.
Thank you to Paul Thurrott for these screenshots.
