Microsoft reaches RC Milestone with Windows 7 Build 7105

Build numbers have been flying around like crazy as usual but Windows 7 Build 7105 has had many fans scratching their heads over. According to Neowin, Build 7105 is an RC build. The build string is  6.1.7105.0.090404-1235_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GB1CULFRER_EN_DVD and the build was compiled on April 4th. According to some screenshots Faikee found, this may very well be the case. The following screenshot was found by Faikee from our forums:

Dj-forum.ru is reporting that the download link will be made available on their site this week. They also have a small list of changes found in Build 7105. The original source is in Russian but  we have the translated changelog below:

Changelog:
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

A couple of you may be confused by the huge jump in the build numbers. Here is a direct quote from SoLor:

Anyway ill try to explain what wzor was saying (so people dont need to decode that weird google translation). Build 7073 was first build branched twice, once as 7073.winmain and once as 7073.win7rc. Build 7077 was also branched twice, once as 7077.win7rc and once as 7105.winmain. And its expected that sometimes in next 2 days, MS will decide what build will become RC-escrow build.
