UPDATE @ 5:07 PM EST: Our sources are telling us that the x86-64 version is now available as well. We hope to have some more information on this build for you over the next few days.
It’s impressive that Microsoft made it 16 days and 11 builds since the leak of 7057, but a new and very legitimate build 7068 hit the intertorrents late last night. Our anonymous tipster has not had much time to poke around the OS to see the changes, but one obvious change is that this build now allows for the installation of any retail SKU. While previous builds restricted installation to the Ultimate edition, 7068 allows for Professional, Ultimate, Business and so on. This is clearly a big step forward in the RC-readiness of the Windows 7 codebase.
It has an official build date of March 21, and we’ve been provided two screenshots to keep you happy:
The shiny desktop!
