De 7105 is inderdaad gespot (maar niet gelekt!)
De 7100-tak lijkt wat dat betreft inderdaad de RC-tak, 7105 is van een dagje later (ofzo), lijkt mij?

Zullen nu wel op 7107 zitten ofzo?
Zoals ook door
deze blog over upgraden doet vermoeden zal de RC build 7100 zijn.
In diezelfde blog staat ook iets voor users
die niet build 7000 draaien:
[...]
Dat jullie het weten

De 71XX range is de pre-rtm tak..
70XX is de rc range welke bijna is afgesloten als er geen showstopper bugs in 7077 zitten.
7105 is 20 minuten na 7077 gecompiled.
"As you can see above, screenshots of Windows 7 build 7077 have started to appear around the Web. There are also reports that the 32-bit version has been leaked and is readily available on various websites. Nevertheless, a good source has told me there are no noticeable differences between build 7068 and any of the 707x builds. This is much more important than the information leak of build 7070, though it's not immediately apparently. In the "About Windows" dialog box, there isn't an actual build string as we've seen in previous interim builds. It simply says "Version 6.1 (Build 7077)." The only other build we've seen this for is in the beta build released to the public (which also was leaked before Microsoft gave the download to testers): "Version 6.1 (Build 7000)."
The build string for the latest build we know about is "7077.0.090404-1255," which indicates that it was compiled less than a week ago: April 4, 2009, at 12:55pm. Some of you will realize that this is 20 minutes after the supposed build 7105 was compiled, which is widely rumored to be a milestone build. Microsoft only increments the second digit of the build number if an important point in development has been reached. The software giant is expected to give a new build to testers this month, and a public Release Candidate build is coming in May. "

Geruchten wat verbeterd is in 7105:
1. Improved networking support, the work in the local network
2. Added support for some previously incompatible programs
3. Extras in the LP (?) and small cosmetic interface improvements
4. Added support for new drivers for various devices
5. Extended support sensory displays
6. A small optimization and changes in the kernel
Wat ook opvallend is uit het MSDN blog is dat ze real-world telemetry willen hebben m.a.w liever geen upgrades meer vanuit w7 beta's.
"We’ve also learned that many of you (millions) are running Windows 7 Beta full time. You’re anxious for a refresh. You’ve installed all your applications. You’ve configured and customized the system. You would love to get the RC and quickly upgrade to it from Beta. The RC, however, is about getting breadth coverage to validate the product in real-world scenarios. As a result, we want to encourage you to revert to a Vista image and upgrade or to do a clean install, rather than upgrade the existing Beta. We know that means reinstalling, recustomizing, reconfiguring, and so on. That is a real pain. The reality is that upgrading from one pre-release build to another is not a scenario we want to focus on because it is not something real-world customers will experience. During development we introduce changes in the product (under the hood) that aren’t always compatible with what we call “build-to-build” upgrade. The supported upgrade scenario is from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Before you go jump to the comment section, we want to say we are going to provide a mechanism for you to use if you absolutely require this upgrade. As an extended member of the development team and a participant in the Beta program that has helped us so much, we want to ask that you experience real-world setup and provide us real-world telemetry."
Ik doe dit normaal nooit maar na build 7000 sla ik op de persoon waar ms het over heeft

Zou wel komen omdat er naar huis word gebeld voor (of tijdens de comp tests) de upgrade en ms zo erachter komt dat er veel frankenstein creators rond zwerven.
Van Neowin leer ik dat er no upgrade path available from Windows XP to Windows 7 is wel begrijpelijk na dit:
"There's no change here to the plan as has been discussed on many forums. We realized at the start of this project that the "upgrade" from XP would not be an experience we think would yield the best results. There are simply too many changes in how PCs have been configured (applets, hardware support, driver model, etc.) that having all of that support carry forth to Windows 7 would not be nearly as high quality as a clean install"
Maar er ook "workarrounds" zijn om als rc verschijnt te kunnen upgraden om een potje non real-world telemetry naar de schuur te sturen
* Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD
* Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the pre-release build)
* Browse to the sources directory
* Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad
* Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000
* Save the file in place with the same name
* Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed.
Kijken of er 10 april wat officeels gaat gebeuren of toch in mei
