The last days have been filled with confusion but also excitement. Screenshots appeared on various Internet portals that were showing early builds of the first Service Pack for Windows 7 (read: Microsoft already working on Windows 7 SP1)
Today a screenshot of Windows 7 SP1 Build 7200 appeared on the Russian news portal Wzor which seemed an awful high version jump from the previous version.
7141.0.winmain_win7ids_sp.090528-xxxx
7200.0.winmain_win7ids_sp.090529-xxxx
This is an important step in the development phase. Everyone assumed that the final version of Windows 7, the one that is going to ship worldwide, would have the build number 7200. It could be that Microsoft made the decision to raise the version of the SP1 build to 7200 to reflect that the service pack will be released after the final 7200 build thus starting with 7200.
According to Wzor the server build is already released with the build string 7225.0.090529-xxxx.
