Windows 7 build number "changed"

Recommended Posts

Reliable sources say that Microsoft will release updates through Windows Update to fix some bugs, but one of those updates will change the build string from:

7600.16385.090713-1255

to

7600.16399.x86fre.win7_gdr.090722-1835.

No reason has been given by Microsoft for the change. Will the build released on August 6th on Technet/MSDN/Connect already come with the new build number? I have no idea... :s

I told you there must be a lot of updates before the official release in Oct.

Im just worried that MS will slipstream these fixes into the ISO when it's released for Technet etc. customers...If they do, then I smell a clean install all over again :nono: .

Patience is a virtue in every thing. I will myself wait for the official release and the after cracks.

I know many people will criticize me but this thread clears why I was saying it.

I think it's fun to rebuild Win 7 from scratch whenever a new build surfaces. One day, we'll be looking forward to Windows versions beyond W7, and think back to when we were anticipating W7 Final, and how exciting it was to ride this rollercoaster. :)

I believe these are Microsoft manufacturer (OEM) updates that are issued to manufacturers to slipstream in to the RTM when making their branded DVDs, in order to fix minor bugs and glitches.

The update's build string indicates that it was compiled on the 22nd, so this should mean that the update was compiled before MS found out about the Lenovo OEM key leak.

KB675605 is responsible for the change in Buildstring Number on x86.

Updated & everything is running fine, still fully activated, still getting updates.

Here's a breakdown:

* KB123334 (Windows6.1-KB123334-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB123334-x64.msu)

Microsoft-Windows-IEInstal assembly that updates IEInstal.exe in %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\ folder to version 8.0.7600.16399 or 8.0.7600.20495.

Microsoft-Windows-notepad revision distribution that updates Notepad.exe to 6.1.7600.16399 or 6.1.7600.20495.

* KB674103 (Windows6.1-KB674103-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB674103-x64.msu)

A update that upgrades Win32k, User32, TCP/IP Binaries (tcpip.sys), SxS, NDIS (ndis.sys), GDI32 and Common Controls components to version 6.1.7600.14000 or 6.1.7600.20496.

* KB675605 (Windows6.1-KB675605-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB675605-x64.msu)

A GDR update that upgrades Windows 7 OS Kernel, HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), BootEnvironment Core BootManagerPCAT components to 6.1.7600.16399 or 6.1.7600.20495. This update package is responsible for changing the BuildLabEx string to 7600.16399.x86fre.win7_gdr.090722-1835 or 7600.16399.x64fre.win7_gdr.090722-1835 and changing win7_rtm in the BuildLab string to win7_gdr.
