Jeeze, what don’t pirates get their hands on now a days? This time they have set their sights on Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 7 with a near release build, build 7229.

Now you may be wondering, what is the difference between this and the freely distrubuted RC1 version of Windows 7. Well, this is apparantly a post-release candidate which means its a bit closer to the version we will be seeing when Windows 7 actually hits retailers later this year.

Should you care? Probably not but if you do head over to your favorite bittorrent site and do a search for Windows 7 build 7229. Of course, we don’t condone this and you should do it at your own risk.
