Windows 7 Build 7600 – RTM?

< 1 minute Leaked on the Interwebz last evening, build 7600 x64 is being touted as the Window 7 RTM (Release To Manufacturing and not Read The Man). I was of course eager to try this build out, and a couple of minutes later I took it for a test run on my Windows PC. The verdict is …
