Screenshots of a Windows 7 post RTM build have shown up on the web this week fueling speculation that Microsoft is compiling early Windows 8 builds.




Russian site, Wzor, leaked a series of screenshots from build 7700.winmain.100122-1900. Although nothing appears to have changed visually, the jump from 7600 (Windows 7 RTM build) to 7700 may suggest some kind of early milestone towards the Windows 8 alpha and beta stage. Microsoft has slowly been compiling post RTM builds of Windows 7 since its July RTM in 2009.

Wzor also published a list of builds that have been compiled after the final Windows 7 RTM. Judging by the list, the software giant has been hard at work compiling builds throughout September 2009 to January 2010:

* 7650.0.winmain.090917-1843
* 7651.0.winmain.090924-1802
* 7656.0.winmain.091015-0833
* 7658.0.winmain.091019-1850
* 7659.0.winmain.091020-1830
* 7660.0.winmain.091021-1736
* 7661.0.winmain.091022-1755
* 7662.0.winmain.091023-1645
* 7664.0.winmain.091027-1825
* 7691.0.winmain.100106-1825
* 7692.0.winmain.100107-1735
* 7693.0.winmain.100111-1820
* 7694.0.winmain.100113-1753
* 7695.0.winmain.100114-1855
* 7696.0.winmain.100115-1725

It does not appear that these builds are service pack builds for Windows 7 SP1 as Wzor has confirmed those began from 7601.winmain_sp. Last week an ex-Microsoft worker penned July 2011 as the RTM date for Windows 8.

Get the number right

By Hahaiah Hahaiah on 02.02.2010 - 01:02
here's a thought, for windows 8, start with build number 8000, funny how the world's biggest software maker can't even accomplish this simple task.

Hasta la vista

yeah really, i don't care what number they use, i'm never paying for another ms os after shelling out for vista, i will use cracked versions til the end!

Let's see if your pirated copy works after March

By here it comes on 02.02.2010 - 02:02
bi-hourly shutdowns of this build will begin on march 1, 2010. a lot of the cracks have already failed. good luck charlie brown.

here it comes

By pirate bay on 02.02.2010 - 05:02
so here it comes, which build are you referring to? the rc?? everyone knows rc will be doing this soon.if anyone is still running rc instead of rtm then of course it will begin shutting down and not because it is a cracked copy it is because it will expire soon.

duhhhh...

By bldippl on 02.02.2010 - 08:02
