Windows 7 Build 7106 x86/x64 Chinese Version Leaked

The first screenshots of Windows 7 Build 7106 have emerged, and it seems like the Chinese have leaked an in-lab version of Windows 7 Build 7106. The build can now be found on all major torrent sites but only available in the Chinese language. SoLoR has confirmed that the ISO is installable, but users are still reluctant to call this a genuine build due to the lack of a digital signature. Here are a couple of screenshots:

Windows 7 Build 7106 Digital Signature Unsigned

Image Details:

Build String: 6.1.7106.0.winmain.090408-1623
File Name: 7106.0.090408-1623_x86fre_client_zh-cn_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULFRER_CN_DVD.iso
Size: 2.61GB for 32-bit and 3.32GB for 64-bit

Of course, the worrying detail here is the unsigned digital signature, which may be because Microsoft did not bother with since the build was not supposed to escape the builds anyway.

Some of our forum members have aroused suspicions that this was a fake designed to trick people into thinking that this is an RTM, so it could be sold for profits in China. There are also other suspicions that the build may have malicious intentions.

The uploader of the torrent originally promised that English and Chinese versions of Build 7106 x86 and x64 would be released but so far only the Chinese version is out. He tells us in our forums that there is still hope for the English version to come, but he doens’t know when it will be uploaded. He is not the original leaker of these builds.

This isn’t the first time a Windows 7 build has leaked from China that didn’t come from a TAP release. Last year, Chinese attendees managed to leak Windows 7 Build 6956 off the WinHEC Computers.
