Here is another list of changes from Windows 7 Beta to RC.  Previously we had posted about Windows 7 RC features and improvements.

Almost two months back we had installed Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) copy and this day we have the latest version Windows 7 build 7057. Every build post Beta has seen improvements in terms of functionality and UI (User Interface).

The recently leaked build 7057 is the closest build to the RC since we can see an Evaluation Copy watermark instead of Testing Purpose, and there is a RC1 tag in the License Agreement as well. We have seen several major changes in the recent build (7057) such as new logon screen, UAC (User Account Control) fix, and many other improvements.
