+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 27, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Found via Winfuture.de: First TAP partners are getting access to build 7068. A screenshot published by the Japanese Microsoft employee Shinobu Takahashi confirms its existence: Blog post in Japanese: Here (Can anyone give a rough translation of it?) Screenshot: Do not ask for links to windows 7 via PM or any other means.Do not ask for files from Windows 7. Do not post pictures of your self downloading windows 7 Do not tell people which illegal sites to acquire windows 7 from Anyone doing any of those things will get you a warning. Now that you all know, I hope I do not have to give out any warnings. Warwagon. Edited March 28, 2009 by warwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) New font? Or just changed manually? It looks a little mac-ish, but good. Edited March 27, 2009 by nyolc8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted March 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks for the information Mephistopheles :) It's a shame they haven't made any changes to the 'start' button :( New font? Or just changed manually? It looks a little mac-ish, but good. I noticed that! I hope it is new font rendering, then I won't have to use GDI++!

MuffloN Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Bah, TAP release, "do not want" (Quick EDIT: Most often too much debuggning code in them for any real usage, asides bug hunting that is...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 27, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted March 27, 2009 New font? Or just changed manually? It looks a little mac-ish, but good.

edgarf28 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 yes it's real, and i've heard it will leak in +/- 6/7 hours! (source: thehotfix forums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuttle Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nice! Taskbar seems to have a new rounded top margin... New sound icon too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 At this point I'd just wait for the actual RC. Aren't you pretty much guranteed to have to reinstall in just a few weeks if installing this one and wanting to use the more polished upcoming RC build?

Calum Veteran Posted March 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nope.. :) Okay, okay. A very very minute change in icon :p :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_architect Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) http://translate.google.com/translate?prev...sl=ja&tl=en Although a small change, I like the new sound icon =) Edited March 27, 2009 by luke_smily_face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atleeit Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 7068 has been released to testers and will probably surface on the net overnight, could be quite a few hours, Chinese are downloading through MFT. Just a quick update to those subscribed to our RSS and Newsletter. Windows 7 Build 7068 is available via Connect right now. Here’s the build string: 7068.0.090321-1322_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULXFRER_EN_DVD. The build was not sent out to tech testers and was for OEMs to work with.

atleeit Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 that last thread was locked for being fake, lol... 7068 is 100% real, testers can get this build 100%, i'm sick of so many people calling fake just because they cannot find it on BT network. Latest build is 6.1.7070.0.winmain.090324-1853 and will probably be Public RC as stated of today 26.03.2009 The Company Microsoft accidentally placed on your server or the page just yet to start Windows 7 RC dated May this year, in fact, confirmed his plans for a public release candidate of Windows 7 RC in May this year.According to our data, this happens at the end of May 2009. but now that the actual assembly is assembled: 6.1.7070.0.winmain.090324-1853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted March 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nope.. :) The icon's the same, it's just that the different DPIs make them look a little different - and the reason why the icon has two sound waves instead of three is because the volume on the machine isn't at its highest.

I think you're right atleeit. I have a feeling they are at or close to escrow. 7070 may be the one. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
