I've seen 7127 and 7137, but not sure if the latter is genuine, however, the 7127 is genuine.

Install 7068 and just watch for the RTM if you worry about the minor changes being made you'll reload it twice a week it seems :p

7068 is in the RC branch, and the build number that became RC was 7088, so it's not that far off. I'm still running this build until the RTM which should be coming soon.
Obviously 7068 would be better than 7042, nothing major wrong with it.

I have 7042 and have no problems at all, i get bluescreened once in awhile but does not bug me much :)
I am not reloading and reloading for minor changes when windows 7 works everyday for me, mission to keep changing builds if you ask.
RTM i shall reload my system but not before then even though i have RC1.
I think ill go for the "7068" (If it is that). The DVD name is GRC1CULFRER_EN_DVD, is it the Release candidate i.e 7100?
Been using 7000 for a few months now and works really well. Just started noticing some issues with Media center and a few other insignificant things.

Rather install build Build 7100 RC. Anything below that is far too old!

Like I said.. 7068 is 20 builds away from 7088 which was made the RC, i.e. they push the numbers up to something rounded for a major milestone.
So it's hardly far too old and the build works fine, I'm still using it. Also I'm sure he doesn't want to download another few GB's for a newer build. He could just download the actual latest one then, it's much newer than the RC is compared to 7068 and the RC.
