Came across it on a "shady" site, and I said "Pfft...freakin' fake builds binded with keyloggers and trojans!" but upon Googling it, turns out it really is true, and its part of the RTM branch which MS is working towards.

Although not many of us have just started exploring Windows 7 Release Candidate, another build has already leaked. The leaked build is 7127 and the complete build string is: 7127.0.090507.1820,
Build 7127 is part of the RTM branch. As Microsoft stated, they are in the process of RTM. For a detailed explanation on deciphering build strings, Icrontic has some good information in this article.
Windows 7 Build 7127 was distributed to TAP Gold Partners on Wednesday May 13th. The build is now leaked onto Bittorrent sites.
When downloading leaked builds, always check the hashes to ensure that you have an image that has not been tampered with. Recently, attackers pushed out fake copies of Windows 7 RC on Bittorrent to build their botnet. You can check the MD5 hash of an image by using MD5Checker (download here). The hashes are as follows:
Windows 7 Build 7127 x86 (32-bit):
7127.0.090507-1820_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso
MD5 4045CB2A8E50B65ED9E1C2B8D6026B2F
SHA1 F2D615E674B64053D299CFA5E80B777269F0DFF2
CRC-32 F691687F
I think I've never done a "complete" format of any of my partitions, whenever I install XP I always choose the "Format partition with NTFS file system (Quick)" option xD
But don't people format their HDs over and over again when they sell it to make data recovery less likely? How come that doesn't damage it?
