No, they’re not. That’s the point – 7077 is in code Escrow, that’s the future RC1 release. 7107 is a trunk duplication of 7077, which has new bugfixes but is experimental.
7077 = Pre-RC1
7107 = Early RTM Prototype based on 7077 pre-RC1 branch, with experimental code changes.7106 is older than 7077. That’s pretty much the point of this article. Also…
When the escrow branch (7077) gets to a public RC1 release, the winmain branch (7107) could completely change as the bug reports and fixes are applied from the escrow public feedback. This means that, In short, all the software developers out there working on Windows 7 compatibility right now for their programs, are told to test on the escrow 7077 branch for a more controlled and stable environment for development, because it’s the escrow. That’s how it’s always done in large scale software development.
Point is, if you decide to install the prototype 71xx branch, don’t be surprised if all your software crashes or doesn’t work. And, don’t expect to be getting much support 😆 I can’t imagine how many headaches people are going to get trying to help people with the “newest” 7106 builds…. 🙄
