If Microsoft has any new stuff lined up for the RTM then we\u2019re going to have to wait to find out. Features-wise, build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400 is similar to earlier builds I\u2019ve looked at (here are some posts for you to check out: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/hardware\/?p=3168\" target=\"_blank\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/hardware\/?p=3182\" target=\"_blank\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/hardware\/?p=3187\" target=\"_blank\">3<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>This beta is of excellent quality. This is the kind of code that you could roll out and live with. Even the pre-betas were solid, but finally this beta feels like it\u2019s \u201cdone.\u201d This beta exceeds the quality of any other Microsoft OS beta that I\u2019ve handled.<\/li>\n<li>Performance of this beta is exceptional. I\u2019ve not had a chance to benchmark it yet but it feels snappier and more responsive than earlier betas I\u2019ve handled.<\/li>\n<li>Judging by the quality of this build, I expect Windows 7 to be released June\/July of \u201809. I really can\u2019t see Microsoft dragging out the release a year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/content.zdnet.com\/2346-12554_22-256914.html\">Windows 7 Beta 1 screenshot Gallery here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrian Kingsley-Hughes over at ZDNet has posted a gallery of Windows 7 Screenshots.
