guys, this is hilarious - cool it off already, these are FAKE!

first of all, does anyone notice the hideous camera angles at which some of these were taken? If I had time, I'd draw up diagrams on some of them in a 3d space to demonstrate that the camera was held at the strangest angles...

second, how come there aren't any window indicators in the taskbar on ANY of the open windows?

third, it is way too late in the game for MS to be chaning their UI so dramatically

fourth, in the pictures where the sidebar isn't active, the pre-release info is stretched all the way to the right of the screen; whenever you do see images of the sidebar active, the taskbar abruptly ends where the sidebar begins and most importantly the entire text is place shifted to the left of the sidebar

fifth, some shots clearly show scanlines in the monitor while others don't

sixth... alright already, this is FAKE!!!

If you were taking secret images of builds that are supposed to be strictly NDA, do you really think that you'd be able to get a nice, clear shot of the screen?

One of the things that gets me is this guy keeps putting new images up, but yet he clearly is trying to stay away from the build tag info. If he really wanted to prove that it was real, or at least make us believe it was real, then he should post a shot of that. It just seems like he's staying away from it on purpose. Maybe I'm wrong though :ermm:

why are we so many people still talking about this?

right now i get the impression that every LOVES the design in those fake screenshots over the current vista build design. Am i the only one that thinks those screens look terrible compared to the real version? Look at picture 002 especially. the start menu's a boring list of text except for the office document icons

Finally, whats up with picture 004. Why is the sidebar overlapping the taskbar?? Theres a cloud from the wallpaper covering up the taskbar tray icons and clock...since when does that happen? :blink: :wacko:

edit: oh yea, as for the possibility of these being shots from a projector, some of the shots are as if you are under the image and looking upwards and others are as if you are looking down on the image. either the person is over 15 feet tall or the projector is displaying a really tiny image

hmm, looking around closely they seem to be very well thought out even if they are fake. Look closely the bootscreen shots in the second page, the first is black and white. Could it by cause the system is hasn't loaded any graphic drivers? and when it's fully loaded it loads aurora and then 32 bit images. I love the screens either way though:)

      I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
