Potential Windows 7 box art leaked earlier this week from Polish site Centrumxp.Originally many speculated that these images were fake but blogger Long Zheng has unearthed Microsoft using the same logo on the box art, elsewhere.
Microsoft has created a Windows Lounge site for internal employees to join a Facebook group for information, training and marketing for Windows 7. The group uses the following image for its logo:
Compared to the box art that was leaked it's too similar. It appears as though this could be concept or final box art for the Windows 7 packaging. Microsoft officials have said "off the record" that Windows 7 will RTM in the Summer and be available for the Fall. It's not unreasonable for the company to be finalising marketing materials, logos and packaging at this stage.

Didn't you know that packaging is the most important thing of any product? [smiles]
I dont think it will be that different from Vista
Not that I hate Vista, but performance wise 7 is amazing.
he said the msn butterfly is back :p
I may not like a lot about MSN (or MS in general), but that butterfly is awesome for some reason.

haha, it does seem to fit. I did hate all of the MSN bundled software in Windows 98 and XP. It even duplicated functionality of other parts of Windows in some cases. Then it was a pain to get rid of... Ugh...
But he's been bleached.
Er, because the pictures are big? What on earth are you comparing the size with? It's not like the images show anything except the boxes.
I would imagine he's comparing the size with something like the OS X box, which is only slightly larger than a jewel case, and about twice as thick, but still has boatloads of classy matte-black cardboard and shiny holograms.
Compared to these unruly plastic abominations that don't really fit anywhere.
Disclaimer: I actually like the artwork. The box is a little unusual, that's all. The OS X box has several limitations, too, such as being crushed in the car on the way home.
It's either a marketing trick to make you believe you're getting plenty for your money
or
It's to make it harder to steal in a store.
(thong firmly planted in cheek)
it does...since when does Professional/"Business" contain Media Center? and when did business go back to professional?
Yes. Since Win7. Use Google.

Yes, these are not photos of actual boxes.
It's not an upgrade, you get the whole OS, making it possible to make Hackintoshes.
I don't really see how Windows is worth more money than OS X anyway. If anything, OS X is worth more than Windows.
GET MORE NOW? HA, Oh dear.
They have to get hits.
Read the update, it's possibly just concept art and not the real thing:
Update: There is some speculation that the images may be just concepts in an ongoing design process, which I certainly hope is true.

So:
1). It's not proven fake.
2). It's quite possibly real.
FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm fully expecting the upgrade boxes to just be the regular boxes with a little "upgrade" note on them though. As usual.

No way they could allow a cover like that.

I really like the colour, but the big 7 on it looks just plain ugly.
http://damnmachine.com/223/windows-7-custom-dvd-cover.html
absolutely no doubt this is fake, even the Microsoft logo uses the wrong font
That, and the page is called "custom dvd cover".
I don't think anyone was suggesting it was real...
XP was released in 2001, so its slightly longer than 5 years...Just slightly
By that logic, Windows 2000 lasted less than 2 years.
And Win 3.1 "lasted" 3, and Win 95 lasted 3, and Win 98 lasted 2, and Win Me lasted 1, and WinXP lasted 5, and Vista lasted 3.
Spot the odd one out.
If you look at the Logo on the box, the Install and login screen might change one more time.....
What do you guys think?
I hope.
If you point your right hand down, and make a 7 out of your thumb and index finger, that looks alot like the 7 on the windows 7 box.
But now turn your hand back over, and you have a L Like you place on your forehead for losers.
Unless Microsoft could beat them to the punch and do something like
"Windows 7, everything else is for Losers."

Mac is not an acronym. It is not a person, or group. It is a product.
Well done, you have spotted what the shape of a seven looks like.

Nice find... only a loser like you has the ability to do that
No, it was announced some time ago that "Windows 7" would be the official name. It's not just a code name!
