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):

MD5 4045CB2A8E50B65ED9E1C2B8D6026B2F

Yes, we could all learn a good thing or two about formatting by contacting our local hardware professionals and referencing our manual texts native to our systems.
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
I always format my drives completely with killdisk or the format with ntfs in XP setup, not the quick one.
Last time i used the quick option the system didnt boot so i tried avoiding it..
I generally format my system every couple months with replacing OS or trying linux or something.. Is this a healthy habit?

Not that healthy, though NTFS seems to be a little more harsh than ext3 because I've formatted this drive for linux countless times; and It's been formatted for Windows twice.

a couple of zero fills is enough to get make data unrecoverable.
