Windows 7 Build 7201 Finds Its Way to P2P Networks

BitTorrent remains the main source for "early releases"

After many rumors and much anticipation the release of Windows 7 is finally just around the corner. The company Microsoft announced earlier this week they will put the new OS up for sale on October 22 (also an RTM date is expected around the second half of July).

Windows 7’s saga began with beta and moved from build 7000 series to 7100 series. New rumors have recently surfaced according to which the program development team is engaged in preparing the 7200 series with no clear information about the meaning behind the number bump.

BitTorrent has become the No. 1 source for unofficial “releases” and this time it makes no exception. Build 7201 is now available on p2p networks (in two versions – 32- and 64-bit) and comes with a build tag of “6.1.7201.0.winmain win7ids.090601-1516.”

However, enthusiasts should not expect major changes in the 7201 release compared to 7100 apart from better driver support and minor adjustments.
