Not sure, could be ... may just be interim demo build.

I don't think so, I've heard that there was going to be another build or so before Beta 1. But don't quote me on that, nothing is confirmed or anything.

[JOHW]

Seeing that the pending Beta 1 date is 13 Jan, I guess there may still be some time for another build..

[edgarf28]

6956 is just an internal build (just for the demo-pc's @ WinHEC.

but it's very close to beta 1.

What's the build date for 6956 btw? That should give us a clue about where the builds could be come that beta date.

My guess is probably for a nice build number of 6970.

[sharp65]

Looks like November 22nd.

There is to be NO talk, discussion, hints, or links to warez of any kind.

Thank you!

Does this rule really apply to this situation? It's a BETA and as far as MS is concerned, i haven't heard anything being "illegal" whether it be discussing or downloading this.

[sharp65]

I'm pretty sure it's still a pre-beta, the real beta would be distributed through official means.

Microsoft hasn't released anything, other than the 6801 build given out to PDC and WinHEC attendees. As far as I'm concerned, anything else has obviously not been legally obtained.

[LiqHead]

Well, you work for MS. Can you show us anything "official" as to whether what you say is true?

You want me to find something that says stealing hard drives from a demo computer at a conference is frowned upon?

[LiqHead]

^ Stealing HD's? You and I know that is not what happened.

[Ambroos]

It's china... Someone seemed to have managed to make a quick CompletePC backup or something like that sorry having failday today.

[LiqHead]

No... actually it is a Virtual PC image.

[Ambroos]

No... actually it is a Virtual PC image.

oh... well didn't try it so I don't have any clue :p

[Examinus]

No... actually it is a Virtual PC image.

You are a cheeky little monkey!

[LiqHead]

What is that supposed to mean?

[_tux_]

No... actually it is a Virtual PC image.

no, it is a complete pc backup, it contains the correct folder structure and catalogue. complete pc backup uses vhd files to store the data.

Ambroos, you do know that the ISO was made using the vhd right?
