Windows 7 Build 7260 is thought by many to be the RTM build of Windows 7, which if it’s true, the final Windows 7 released to consumer will have build version 6.1.7260.0. The assumption was mainly caused by the fact that Windows 7 Build 7260 is the first build to have win7_rtm as its branch. Actually Windows 7 is just one of the candidate for RTM, and has since been leaked to Internet.

Again, the leaked Windows 7 Build 7260 is in VHD image format to mount at virtual machine. Only 32-bit (x86) version of Windows 7 Client Build 7260 and 64-bit (x64) version of Windows 7 Server (Windows Server 2008 R2) are leaked, in a twisted similarity to Windows 7 Build 7231 and Windows 7 Build 7232. Windows 7 Build 7260 has full tag string of 7260.win7_rtm.090612-2110, indicating it’s compiled and signed off on June 12, 2009.
