I'm sure every illegal activity is monitored but things like these will be monitored and if possible the violators will be prosecuted as well.

They would go after the seeders, not the leechers.

A leecher uploads as well as dowloads, no escaping it.

more importantly im wondering if this build will "expire" after the date that ADC members are supposed to return their hardware. If thats the case apple is giving everyone (who downloads it) a good taste. so those trial period rumors may be true especially if apple athourized the leak and is then just "wink wink hush hush" and expected some crackers to make it work on any x86 processor. In any case i think this does help apple a bit.

oh and in a few hours i shall see if it runs on any of my amd boxes (dont have a single intel box :( )

if you're downloading it now, you might want to open up part of the file you've downloaded so far in a hex editor or text editor.. it could be a fake...

what are you on about? :p im just stating my opinion, but in the case of an official leak, they wont sue people.... hopefully. Because if it was an offical leak and people were sude for downlaoding it that would be wrong.

Official leak ? Is this the most absurd post of the day ? :huh:

There are no official leaks.

its pre'd by XISO

anyone (well not anyone can join) get get into a addpre channel / db and add a fake release.. and/or join public pre channels (after-all? oink?) and search for them. doesn't mean there real

if it is fake, it would be pretty funny as to how much hype its causing across various forums...plus the group under whom it got release by, if that is fake too...i dont think they would be too happy with having their name under a fake release which got uploaded by sumone bored trying to stir up hype

I thik this is fake.. uaually things this hot doesnt take several hours to spread.. If it was released news sites would be posting screenshots by now.. Popular sites like Neowin/Winbeta/Enagadget has high level pirated connection I thin so they gets stuff much faster..

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
