There are so many rumors and then rumors of other rumors floating around the blogosphere. I have heard nothing definitive today. What we do know is this...
a) Builds in both branches for RTM and RC are being compiled each day.
b) Windows development team, ISV's, OEM's, VAR's and other partners are still testing. Which means they have not set the final build yet.
c) Several MSFT web site accidents (sic) have revealed some ideas for RC dates but only key players at MSFT know the real dates. Things can change at any moment.
d) Build 7082 may leak but it is not the final RC by any means
e) Windows 7 RC will be available in the next few days or weeks, officially or unofficially
d) TechNet and MSDN can only download build 7000 as this post
e) People who know what's going on are not saying.
f) There is no build 7200.
I am still waiting for a confirmation email after being authorized for the Partner Program. Hopefully I will get it soon. Posting info on here might be why I don't have access yet.
But I'll get over it
