Real or not, you gotta admit that that blue graphic isob> much better than the god-awful green/turquoise thing they use in Vista. WTF were they thinking?

Even still that godawful sidebar is a waste of space! I agree the Blue is better than green snot color they came up with. Heres hoping for something more creative ala the Office Ribbon running throughout some of the new user interfaces.

LOL! You guys are funny. I could photoshop a picture of a Vista desktop, photoshop the winver.exe and post it on here and call it Windows 7, and you would believe me. Unless you provide us with rocksolid proof that it is a Windows 7 beta, and not somehow part of Vista (there are rumor screenshots of "Vista SP2 Beta" out there), you are full of ****.

i didn't read the entire thread, but just looking at the shot...isn't windows 7 codenamed Vienna or Blackcomb? And when we were seeing EARLY builds of vista it didn't say Windows Vista it said "windows longhorn".

raise the bs flag on the shots....but iono, and honestly don't care at this point. No sense in getting all hyped and excited over a product that wont' be released for another year and MS won't even comment on at all because vista is still trying to get rolled out mainstream.

but...who knows, maybe vista is the new windowsME? something to keep everyone happy for a bit until a GOOD os comes out, but honestly i don't see what everyone complains about vista for. I run x64 vista ultimate and have had ZERO issues (well, compared to issues that i would/could happen in XP).

while this could be fake, my question is why would it be named "windows 7 ultimate"

It just doesn't make sense to me... when we had longhorn builds, they wernt called "Windows longhorn home edtion" or Windows longhorn professional edtion. It was just simply "longhorn"

It was originally codenamed Blackcomb and that was gonna be "vista" Longhorn was originally gonna be a minor update to XP. Oblously that changed, the codenamed renamed blackcomb till like 2006 or what ever when it was changed to vienna. later in 2007 it was changed to windows 7 but still is called vienna. windows 7 is the enternal name. it was leaked...

idk i like windows 7 and hope they keep the final name at windows 7

For starters, Windows 7 is supposed to be Version 7.x on the winver.exe

source? Windows vista is version 6.0 so windows 7 will be 7.0. your talking about VISTA SP1 and thats gonna be 6.1

in that case, my bad. Still not convinced it's real. I'm not trusting anyone (even a mod) that these are real.

People dont believe Cream because hes a mod...they belive because EVERY time hes said a pic was real.....IT WAS!!......hes has a way of knowing since like 2000....why would it end now?

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

Run winver in Windows Vista. Let me know what your banner says. Because mine says "Windows Vista Ultimate"

source? Windows vista is version 6.0 so windows 7 will be 7.0. your talking about VISTA SP1 and thats gonna be 6.1

Windows Vista SP1 will be 6.0.6001, not 6.1

No it isn't 7.x until it hits RTM. look at Vista during it's development it was always 4XXX and 5XXX. Then at 6000 it was rtm.

No. Vista was Windows Version 6.0 from the get go.

Why is this Windows 7 labeled 6.1? My guess is that right now they have forked the 7.0 kernel from winmain while they finish off Windows Server 2008, and these builds of Windows 7 are currently being built on top of the Windows Server 2008 kernel, hence they just bumped the major/minor version to 6.1 to differentiate it from WS2008. Expect 7.0's kernel to merge into winmain at WS2008's RTM and Windows 7 version identifier to really become 7.0

indeed and looking at longhorn/vista alpha...

Heh, look at the screen shot above the one I quoted from your mac+windows, then you'll see early builds of Longhorn were called something other than just longhorn. Infact it still said Longhorn XP Professional.

Wow, just because s/he's been right so far, doesn't mean they are right this time... Don't believe everything you see on the internet, images can be easily manipulated. You guys carry on, I see no one here is capable of proving that these screenshots are real.

    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
