Another Windows 7 leak hit the dark side of the Internet a few hours ago. Windows 7 Build 7057 is already downloaded on various Bittorrent portals by thousands of users. The leak does include the 32-bit edition of the upcoming Microsoft operating system. The Windows 7 News website has posted information and screenshots of this new release. The build has been compiled by Microsoft on March 6 which means it is one of the most recent builds of Windows 7 yet.
One of the more interesting factors is the expiry date of that version of Windows 7. It has been set to March 2, 2010 which is roughly a year from today and about 7 months after the Windows 7 beta expiration date. This could help determine the time period in which Windows 7 will most likely be released officially. Latest opinions on the matter suggest a release in the first quarter of 2010 which would be backed up by the March 2010 expiration date. The expiration date of this Windows 7 build could mean that it is the release candidate build or a build close to that.
There are not many drastic changes in comparison to Windows 7 build 7048 which has been leaked before. Microsoft has made changes to the User Account Control, the Superbar and several layout and design changes like new user icons or wallpapers.
The screenshots and information about the latest leak seem to be legit. You can get the latest information about Windows 7 in the Windows 7 Forum.

It coming out before Christmas for sure the expiry date has nothing to do with RTM.
Not according to the Microsoft biz representative in Germany who stated that Windows 7 will be released in the first quarter of 2010.
The RTM will be leaked around july for sure but yeah release date like vista will vary.
good news, it seems like RC is getting closer. i’ve stuck with the official beta just to be safe, but once RC is loose i’ll be reinstalling.
