Might even be an "official leak". Like, Microsoft deliberately leaking builds onto torrent sites as part of their marketing strategy.

Wow, the shutting down screen looks nice. :p

The LogonUI graphic looks like it's straight out of DeviantArt. It looks quite nice, just not very Microsofty. No doubt it'll look beautiful on Best Buy's shelves, gleaming on rows of glossy laptops, but it just doesn't seem to match the toned-down simplicity the rest of the UI seems (seemed?) to be reaching for. :-/

Any noticable changed from 7048 ?

[fix-this! 76]

how about we talk about the expiration date, 2010? this must mean 7 won't be out until after the new year. :(

Just because our keys don't expire then doesn't mean it won't RTM before then.

I was thinking the same :pinch:

If this is real, that green should be yellow/orange which is the accent colour used for Windows 7 ribbon and new Windows 7 Icons

jesus man, think about it. quit praying for an early release, it will be 2010 and this confirms it in my mind.

Not at all, the reason it expires in 2010 is that this is probably the RC build and those kind of builds usually only expire after the finalized version is out. If I remember correctly the RC build of Vista still worked for a good 6 months after it RTM'ed. :woot:

so how can we confirm this is RC build? i don't remember vista doing that.

Wrong. If you'll remember, the Vista RC builds didn't expire until around May of 2007, far after the release of RTM. If I recall, the RC builds usually have longer expiration periods.

That's what I thought myself. Otherwise, Microsoft is releasing the ONE-AND-ONLY RC in April, but the RTM is almost a year away? No way. I know for sure the Vista RC worked well after RTM.

Has it even been confirmed that this is even a legit build? I seriously have my doubts about the build and the expiration date being a sign of a release next year. Why waste the time pushing a public beta and release candidate branches now for it to RTM next year? Makes absolutely no sense.

i wouldn't know as i stopped beta testing vista early on, too many issues.

[dmb219 7]

You won't know which build is the RC until MS releases it.
