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.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
