They are just testing!
I could imagine the SP1 being released soon after the RTM, main reason being is that most companies and IT Professionals will hold off purchasing Windows 7 until it has it's first service pack, as it has been with XP and Vista.
So it only makes sense that Microsoft will want to release it as soon as possible, even if it's just a ploy to sell more copies rather then adressing any major issues or adding any extra features, which IMO is very unlikely.
wguimb had said that the internal build which is in progress is 7141 .So , he might comment on this build properly. Where is SoLoR ?
If the SP1 branch is true and they release it soon after initial launch and IT guys and companies buy it, they should be fired. They should be in the know enough to be picking up on this now like we all are and not fall for the trick.I could imagine the SP1 being released soon after the RTM, main reason being is that most companies and IT Professionals will hold off purchasing Windows 7 until it has it's first service pack, as it has been with XP and Vista.

That said i think they should be fired for waiting for SP1 anyways, i think 7 is a VERY good OS and should be used off the shelves
damn...already. didnt 713x just pop up like yesterday?
Actually it did only find its way into the wild yesterday.....but that is the way of the leak.....
Remember, there was 7057....then 7068 and 7077 within days of each other if I remember correctly.
Then we all stressed through not having any leaks (other than 7106, I didn't go there) with speculation running to fever pitch before we all pounced onto 7100 a week before release.....
A Cynical view would be that Microsoft sanction controlled leaks....to keep the hype.....
