Windows is very close to reaching RTM, source says

Windows 10 is almost complete, and Microsoft is now getting ready to introduce a new build for insiders, which would also be the last release before the eagerly awaited RTM milestone for the new operating system.

That's what Russian leaker WZor claims, adding that Microsoft would continue the Windows Insider program after Windows 10 RTM, and the next build released to testers would be the one for Autumn Update.

Microsoft is expected to introduce a first Windows 10 update later this year, and WZor calls it Autumn Update, but it's not yet clear whether the software giant would use the same name or not.

This last build of Windows 10 for insiders is expected to be 10125, which does make sense, given the recent rumors that Microsoft is aiming at the 1012x series for a new preview of the OS.

Currently tested by Microsoft employees

Windows 10 build 10125 is already available, but only for Microsoft employees, so unless you work for the software giant, it's impossible to get it right now.

But the very same build is expected to be released to everyone either later this week or early next one, with Microsoft still trying to fix a few bugs that its employees discovered during internal testing.

Windows 10 RTM is believed to be planned for June or July, but if this is indeed the last build of the preview and Microsoft then focuses on the stable version of the operating system, June seems to be a more likely date.

Of course, the company isn't yet ready to share any dates for Windows 10, but it's believed that the official debut of the new product is planned for late July or early August. The phone version of Windows 10, called Windows 10 Mobile, is projected to launch later this year, most likely in October, possibly together with the aforementioned Autumn Update for PCs.

Update: Microsoft has just launched Windows 10 build 10122, so it turns out that 10125 won't be the next release for Windows insiders.
