Windows 7 post-7600 builds (SP1?)

Well, it seems that Microsoft is making pretty good progress on the first Service Pack for Windows 7. This screenshot comes from our russian friend Zukona.

From WZOR:

Since the end of September 2009, Microsoft has resumed intensive work on the first service pack for Windows 7, the assembly gathered, the work in full swing, we observe the processes taking place in a company and as soon as work on SP1 significantly advance to the "interesting stages, so we just try to give you know about this.
Now we will not "spook" the leadership and development team, leak test assemblies SP1 Beta 1.
To our knowledge the first Beta 1 version of SP1 for Windows 7 may appear at the end of December this year, just before the Christmas holidays, and after the new year, SP1 Beta 1 will be given to the TAP Testori.
The public phase of testing SP1 for Windows 7 will begin in early January 2010.
Total scheduled to launch two beta versions of SP1 for Windows 7 and two release candidates.
Output the final version of SP1 for Windows 7 is scheduled for the autumn of 2010, PC makers will get the updated distributions of Windows 7 with SP1 as always much earlier ie in the summer of 2010.

I would love to get my hands on one of these builds.

Let the leak fever begin anew.

NOOOOO!!!!The madness begins again

Those build junkies will be estatic to read about this tomorrow...

Zukona planning to release them?

Just did some additional reading (through the "channels"). It appears a BETA might hit Jan 2010...

Now what I am wondering is that Windows Vista ended on build 6000, SP1 6001, SP2 6002...are they going to jump by the hundreds for 7 or is it going to be...7600, 7601, 7602 (if 7 ever gets a second service pack...)

I doubt they will jump the build numbers by the hundred for the service packs...those are probably just test build numbers, and the final for SP1 will probably be 7601.

I hope Microsoft will release some specifications of the service pack soon (I doubt they will...)

I am looking forward to some possible new features...but I am not holding my breath

I'm not expecting any major new features...although I hope they finally fix that damn desktop refresh bug!
