Windows 7 build 7068 Screenshot (Yes, it's real)

Please read our community rules and then you may understand why nobody gave you a link to it :rolleyes:

I've got what I hope is not a stupid question. I've been aware of the following rule for a very long time:

No Warez (links) & Cracks.

Help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting obtaining it.

How can threads discussing downloading, using and reviewing illegally obtained Windows builds be allowed? Just curious.

Yep! Thats wierd for me too. Double rules.

Can anyone here actually prove that such software is actually illegal? Has anyone been arrested, tried, and found guilty in public court anywhere on earth for downloading beta software? Or is all this based on the EULA which has been proven to not be a legal binding document in several cases, in public court, here in the US and most likely wouldn't stand up to scrutiny elsewhere too?

I know people are curious but, it's beta software... get real. I can just see it now...

Prisoner 1: "What are you in for? I axe murdered my whole family and blew the Sheriff away with a sawed off shotgun after they found out I was raping my daughter..."

Prisoner 2: "I downloaded some beta software without Microsoft's express written permission and running it and I wasn't part of the beta program."

(Prisoner 2 runs off cowering in fear, crying as he does so...)

Sorry, I just ain't buyin' it... :D

According to the discussion on a well-known Russian site, the seeding will start again at 11 am Moscow Time. Seems the seeder has some issues with the internet connection. So for now it's gonna stop at some 7% (mine did at 7.4)

so that's what, 12 hours from now??

This thread is for discussing build 7068 and I'd rather not stray off-topic by talking about the Neowin rules. There are some very justified reasons as to why we allow talk of Windows development builds and I suggest you please send a personal message to a supervisor for a better explanation :)

To clarify though, it is only the development builds and not the final builds. If somebody discussed downloading a released, final, build of Windows - that is against our rules.

Now, back on topic... :)

just a thought here, but how do we know this guy isn't just jerking our chain, the first one stops at 0.7%, then the second at 7%. says he'll start back in 12hours, but who knows right?

couldn't this just be a screwed up fake build and we're piling on top of each other to get it? there's no way of knowing, is there?

well yer he could post just the setup.exe first, that would help.

Here's a tip .. put up a second clock in your taskbar .. set it to Moscow time!

haha i have done exactly this when it was announced that it suppose to get up today at 6 or 7pm moscow time :)

well yer he could post just the setup.exe first, that would help.

he did that already, its real, maybe you can even find it on first page(s) of this topic.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
