8.4.2009Windows 7 Pre-Beta Build Leaked
"Oops!"
A build being demoed at WinHEC China this week, build 6956, was leaked by a show attendee, but in an unusual fashion, taking
advantage of a new feature in Windows 7.
The attendee managed to clone the demo machine's hard drive into a VHD file, a virtual hard
drive format that is fully supported in Windows 7. He then moved the image onto his portable drive and walked away from the booth, never caught by
any Microsoft employee or security.
Since Microsoft will probably not use a GPO to disable VHD creation on demo machines (it is a new
feature, after all), it will be interesting to see if future builds are leaked in the same routine. It's surprising that copying files to removable
disks wasn't disabled on these machines as the ones at PDC were.
Looking for some eye candy? Screenshots at the source.

12.12.2008New Windows Live Mail Desktop
Feature Revealed
Using their usual "More Than
Mail" blog, the Windows Live
Mail Desktop Beta team
revealed yet another feature
of it, along with a screenshot
of a recent build.
This build seems to
contain yet another UI change,
slight this time, along with
the so-called Active Search
feature.
"People spend the bulk
of their time online doing two
things: checking their email
and searching the web. We
thought we?d bring the two
together, so you can use
search to act on the ideas and
tasks piling up in your
inbox.
Today,
we?re excited to begin testing
a new feature we?re calling
Active Search for Windows Live
Mail Desktop Beta with a small
group of beta participants in
the US.
Active
Search bridges the gap between
your inbox and the broader web
using the power of search.
Using Active Search is
essentially the same as
conducting a ton of related
searches the old fashioned way
? by cutting and pasting terms
from your email into a
separate web browser ? only
without all the
effort."

meaning this build is only a week old. As ever the build is available at the usual places but it might be worth waiting until RTM as a lot of Windows
7 torrents have been hit by malware and viruses recently. Microsoft is still on target to finalise Windows 7 over the summer with a general
availability this fall. Un-official wallpaper not included by default, thanks to djlegion for the screenshots.

28.05.2009Windows 7 build 7229 leaked
Another Windows 7 build has leaked. This time it's build 7229. Sources are indicating that unless there is a leak internally from Microsoft, this
would be last build leaked before the RTM. The build string is 7229.0.090604-1901 meaning that it was compiled a week ago. Earlier this week, build
7227 leaked to the public. Initial reports indicate that you can not use your RC keys with this build, so if you want to activate properly you
should not upgrade to this build. Windows 7 is still on track for a July RTM, and it's possible that it may even RTM by the end of June.
Microsoft has announced that it will be available in stores October 22nd.

12.06.2009Windows 7 Release Candidate goes public... Oops
Tired of waiting for Microsoft to release the first (and likely only) release candidate of Windows 7? No worries, you can go and snatch it up now...
via torrents. Earlier today, build 7100 of Windows 7, the official Release Candidate build, leaked to the public.
While no new visual
elements stand out from previous builds, UI changes should no longer be expected this late in the game. Any changes from this point on will be, for
the most part, behind the scenes. One notable change however is Microsoft's decision to revert back to the previous active tile design for the
taskbar, as found in build 7068, as it no longer features the white hazy glow behind the icon.
The official release date of Windows 7 RC
is expected to be May 5th for the public, and slightly earlier for TechNet and MSDN subscribers.
Have you found anything new in this
build? Share it with us in our community forums...
Update: Microsoft now says the RC will be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers on
April 30th.

screenshot. The screenshot is just the Windows 7 Desktop but the build string is clearly visible - 7068.winmain.090321-1322 - which means that this
build 7068 was compiled on March 21, 2009. It was also rumored earlier that Windows 7 build 7068 is released on Microsoft Connect to a select group
of testers. WinFuture reports that this build might have been released to the Windows 7 TAP Customers, who get involved closely with Microsoft in beta
testing their products.

01.07.2009Three Replacements for Windows Active Desktop
MakeUseOf.com:
Active Desktop, a feature introduced with Internet Explorer 4.0, and
included in every Windows version since then until Windows Server 2003, allowed users to place websites on their desktop. While it enjoyed little
widespread use, and often was subject to criticism, the idea of placing websites on the desktop is still an appealing idea to some (provided you enjoy
widgets on the desktop).
In this post I’ll be exploring replacements for the now defunct Active Desktop feature -
Snippage,
AveDesktopSites, and
minibrowser.

Microsoft are currently working hard towards the Release Candidate of Windows 7. Currently the only official build available to testers and the

"friendly" Microsoft Ukraine individuals. It's not likely that the build contains any of the UAC changes Microsoft has recently promised. The
build is Build 7022.winmain.090115-1850 which indicates it was built nearly a month ago. Some Microsoft employees have twittered recently that they
were "installing build 7034" so the company is clearly pushing ahead with the builds ready for the upcoming Release Candidate.

Earlier today Neowin reported that Windows 7 build 7232 had leaked. What a difference a few more hours makes, now 7260 has leaked and the Russian site
Wzor claims that Microsoft will build the RTM (release to manufacturing) build between June 15-19. If Wzor is correct, and that's a big if and
rumour, then we may see the final Windows 7 RTM build ready this weekend. Internal sources indicate that 7260 is still the latest build under the
win7_rtm branch. Build 7260 carries the tag 7260.win7_rtm.090612-2110 and is an RTM escrow build meaning vigorous testing will commence to ensure this

announce the finalisation of Windows 7 at the annual Worldwide Partner Conference on Monday providing there are no last minute recompiles. Windows 7
