Windows 7 reaches Build 7201

ms_win7 Windows 7 is up to Build 7201, on the way to RTM. Microsoft has already confirmed officially that it will release Windows 7 to manufacturing in mid-July 2009, and that the gold versions of the operating system will be made available to customers on October 22, 2009. However the Redmond company has steered clear of discussing in any way the progress of Windows 7 in terms of interim builds since it offered Release Candidate Build 7100 for public download on May 5th. Certainly, mum's the word on Windows 7 Build 7200 and above. Despite this, Windows 7 is advancing toward RTM and Build 7201 comes to prove just that.

The last interim build of Windows 7 that made it into the wild was Build 7138. Reports indicate that Windows 7 evolved up until Build 7141 and then the versioning jumped all the way to 7200. At the same time, Microsoft has already moved past the 7200 milestone, taking development of Windows 7 as high as Build 7227. Of course there's no official confirmation of these details from the Redmond company.

The full build string of Windows 7 Build 7201 is 6.1.7201.0.winmain_win7ids.090601-1516, which indicates that the release was compiled on May 1st, 2009.
