Windows 7 build 7025 screenshots leak with versions info
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 25.1.2009
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversMicrosoft released Windows 7 Beta few weeks ago and the only version that was released during this beta was Windows 7 Ultimate. However, a select testers were invited for a separate Windows 7 Home Premium Beta program.
It is still unclear about the different Windows 7 versions that Microsoft is planning to release. A chinese website has leaked the Windows 7 build 7025 screenshots which could have answered the different versions of Windows 7, Microsoft is planning to release.
Without any further discussion, below is the leaked screenshot:

So, there you go. It looks like Microsoft is still going along Windows Vista's path in releasing a Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic editions. It is really disappointing to see a Windows 7 Home Basic edition - May be it is a 'touch-free' version or would it be a version specifically targeted towards netbooks?
One more thing to notice in the leaked screenshots are the good old Quick Launch and Show Desktop Icon!

Neowin had
reported earlier that IE 8 RC1 is due soon and the leaked screenshots do confirm that IE 8 RC1 is on its way!

hmmm...looks fake but if were true it would be a major step backwards for microsoft.
firstly, obviously there is no aero so im not going to comment on its eye candy but why
with the old school quick launcher, i prefer the new style (yes i know you can disable it
but why bother including it). to be honest it really looks like build 6801 with superbar
enabled and ie rc1 somehow installed.
on another note, build 7000 (beta 1) is
freaking awesome. its fast, reliable and looks great, i use it as my main os atm.
they just made the taskbar even more ugly with the legacy quick launch and low small ugly
program icons.
install_windows 7 business.clg
install_windows 7 homebasic.clg
install_windows
7 homepremium.clg
install_windows 7 ultimate.clg
will, aero is not enabled as it appears it was intalled in a virtual machine, and aero
will not work on that, even with vista
the quicklaunch buttons can be big or small - i agree, the small icons are not pretty
next to the 1.5 taskbar. as for doing away with quicklaunch, there are many legitimate
reasons to keep it, not the least of which is user preference: ms already alienated
enough people with the jump from xp to vista - it wouldn't be wise to completely remove a
popular ui component (regardless of the other options available) when trying to win back
the hearts and minds of consumers. i work with a variety of oss and one of the major
reasons i do not prefer osx is the application centric gui and dock - a window centric gui
with a separate launcher provides a much more comfortable and sensible environment for
they way i work. i, for one, welcome the return of our quicklaunch masters. to each
their own.
why would they restore quick launch when the superbar itself is a quick launch.. wtf
i welcome the quicklaunch back, i edited build 7's registry just so i could have it. i
like the quick launch because it keeps my desktop clean. i put all of my shortcuts in the
quick launch
just from what i know from the connect windows 7 beta newsgroups, i can safely say that
this is a fake, the compile date is wrong (doesn't mesh with what some of the msft staff
have been hinting)
it has been confirmed that it's a fake one.someone made it himself.
lets hope that there is in the end just one version, windows 7. maybe then depending on
the key it will either be win buisness or just windows 7. please microsoft no more a
million different stupid names.
i have build 7682: http://sunriseproject.pl/images/capture.png
hehehe
or build 7777: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4263/captureps6.png
its totally fake guys, if u try to install build 7000 on virtual drive like vmware choose
to install as vista and u will get the option for win 7 as
install_windows 7
business.clg
install_windows 7 homebasic.clg
install_windows 7 homepremium.clg
install_windows 7 ultimate.clg
lol.......
this site sux for news... it's always wrong or it's always something everybody knows
for a while. c'mon...
you can choose to enable win7 quick launch in gpedit.msc (and many people chose to, since
it is not the same as the taskbar) ... it ... allows you to have subfolders and collapse
things. the above may be fake, but not because of that or any other stupid comments
above.
hi,
i used to support apple macs g3's & g4's running mac os x back in 1999 & to me
vista & windows 7 still look like a ripped off microsoft version of the os x gui.
if you have moved up to vista from xp what will be the incentive to upgrade yet again
from vista to win 7?? i think microsoft are very much in danger of repeating the same past
mistake re: xp vista problem of the market share.
**plus my guess is that win7
wont run on xp hardware i think thats pretty much a given now.
ir
just get lost with mac..
i dont get it why people are taking the "rip-off"
shit so seriously.
who cares - it's just a damn os so just use it, if you
bother to.
look at how ms decided to release windows 7 into 5 versions, this is just why vista fail.
too many version just make 7 feel the same as vista, confusing to end-consumers. i mean
what the hell is home basic, home premium, business, ultimate crap? for me those just
bullshit-crap that ms made up to make more money out of confused consumers.
if this is true then it would be a major step back for windows
i think there will be:
windows 7 home
windows 7 professional
windows 7
ultimate
where,i can download it??
os x 10.0 for desktops was released in 2001. i wonder what were you supporting back in
'99. i have an imac dv - (g3 at 400 mhz) with 768 mb ram and it can't even play youtube
videos. and it's the dv edition!!! for editting video, with a firewire port!!! maybe it
would run better with os9, but hell, it looks worse than win3.1. let the flame war begin
:)))
anyone that is an apple user that claims windows vista or windows 7 is a ripoff of a mac
gui certainly is not an apple user. apple os and windows now and always have looked and
functioned completely different! apple os's haven't always looked pretty, actually they
only just got color in 1996 with the powermac g3, but they have always been lightening
fast with rock-solid stability. windows vista wasn't all bad, just slow at moving data
around. windows 7 is definately speedy (approx.4 times faster than vista) in terms of data
transfer rates but its stability has yet to be determined and never could be until full
insurgence and implementation.
p.s. os-x was released in 1999(not 2001) on the
powermac g4 with an os9 virtual machine for those old apps that wouldn't run on os-x,
which was apples migration to a completely new gui architecture. kinda what microshaft is
going through right now between xp and vista/win7, only difference...apple got it right
the first time;)
some guy... in terms of stability, vista is terrible... too much incompatibility, too
much slowliness, too much heavy, too much system requirements and even with a top notch
computer vista is still slow!!! seven with a p4 1.5ghz, 512mb ram runs soooo good seven!!!
i have some how disabled the activation on build 7022 installed on my laptop today.. does
this mean that its not activated? all it says its "status not available" can anyone help
?
