Windows 7 Build (Service Pack 1) SP1 7227 has made its way onto the tubes again. It was first leaked as a VHD but can be found as an image file now, although only in the 32-bit edition. The build string is 7227.0.winmain_sp.090602-2110
Russian site Wzor reports that build 6.1.7229.0.winmain.090604-1901 is expected to be distributed sometime between June 10th and June 15th. Builds compiled after 7229 will be RTM candidate builds and will no longer be distributed to partners. Perhaps we won’t be seeing any leaks for a while.
These are the hashes posted:

There is also a changelog leaking around. As stated before, changes made to builds after the RC are mostly related to bug fixes and increased compatibility. It is highly unlikely we will be seeing any UI or dramatic changes. Here’s the changelog circulating around for those interested:

2. Pop-Up lists for the panel
3. Pop-Up lists for Remote Desktop
4. Applying the settings of the taskbar

According to Russian site Wzor, sometime between June 10th and June 15th, the last build handed out to corporate partners will be distributed. The build will be 6.1.7229.0.winmain.090604-1901. After this only RTM candidate builds will be compiled. None of these builds will be distributed externally to partners.
Microsoft previously announced that the RTM was scheduled for mid to late July. Neowin is reporting that if the build quality of the RTM candidate builds are very high, there’s even a possibility that we will be seeing the RTM by the end of June.
