Good news, they are making sure everything is perfect. :)
Microsoft expected to deliver 2 RCs for Windows 7
Windows 7
An Escrow Build is a build where development halts and developers & beta testers start testing the product for any show-stopper bugs. Microsoft always emphasizes this to testers to concentrate only on the regressions and confirmation of fixes when asking for feedback on escrow builds.
- The most recent build compiled is build 7061 on March 11, 2009
- Internal RC-escrow builds would be delivered as the first RC of Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2 on the fourth week of April 2009
- Release candidate 2 for Windows 7 & for Windows Server 2008 R2 will be released to the public during the last week of May 2009
The original source is supposed to be WZOR, a russian site. They say this is the revised TAP schedule. They may be correct about RC in late April, but I find it hard to believe about a second RC coming.
There is no second RC coming. RC-Escrow != RC. I've talked to the writer and he changed the article.
I'm drooling for 7061. I installed 7057 on my media center and it kinda blows. Every time it goes to screensaver in Media Center for a few hours it hangs, on top of the guide and info problems, I'm anxiously awaiting this build.
