What is the first thing you should do after buying Windows Vista? Take high resolution pictures of the newly acquired product and post it on the Internet so that anyone could see. Right? Wrong!

Windows 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.

Windows 7 build 7137 leaked

Barely two weeks after build 7127 leaked we have another fresh leak of Windows 7, build 7137. This time around the build tag is 7137.0.090521-1745 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.

Microsoft has responded to pirates by blacklisting the Lenovo OEM key that leaked earlier this week. On Tuesday Neowin reported that pirates were able to modify their BIOS and activate copies of Windows 7 Ultimate with a Lenovo OEM master key.

According to Alex Kochis, Director of Genuine Windows at Microsoft: "we've worked with that manufacturer so that customers who purchase genuine copies of Windows 7 from this manufacturer will experience no issues validating their copy of Windows 7.

Office 2010 optimized for Windows 7

Since a technical preview version of Office 2010 leaked barely a day ago it seems to have spread to anyone and everyone, despite a limited official technical preview scheduled for July. We already knew that Office 2010 will ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (and the technical preview was leaked in both these flavours) and earlier this week it was confirmed that it will run on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well. Robert McLaws is one of the many who has downloaded and installed the leaked build on Windows 7, and has discovered that parts of the Office suite have been optimised for Windows 7 by utilising the new jump lists feature.

Warning: Windows 7 beta could corrupt your MP3s

Several reports from users using the latest leaked build of Windows 7 indicate a potential data corruption issue using Microsoft's Windows Media Player 12. Windows 7 beta 1 build 7000 leaked over the Christmas holidays and a Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that there is a bug which affects the leaked build. Approximately 2-3 seconds will get shaved off the beginning of MP3s if you have set your Windows Media Player 12 settings to retrieve information from the internet and update files. The default configuration for WMP12 sets this if you use the "express" option during setup. "The problem only happens when you edit metadata on a certain class of MP3 file (a file with a header larger than 16KB).

Windows 7 build 7127 leaked

Redmond is still running low on Joe the plumbers as another Windows 7 leak surfaces today. This time around it's the second RTM branch build to leak, 7127. Approximately a month after 7106 leaked. The build string is 7127.0.090507-1820 meaning it was compiled just over a week ago so it's still fresh off the blocks. Microsoft is progressing steadily with the RTM branch and company insiders have indicated the software giant is well on target to finalise the RTM build over the summer. Our guess? Late June or early July. Microsoft is expected to announce general availability of Windows 7 for before the Christmas period, cashing in on holiday PC purchasers.

Windows 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.

Windows 7 build 7025 screenshots leak with versions info

Microsoft 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.

Windows 7 Build 7106 leaked

Somebody please get a plumber over to Redmond, because there's a constant leak happening all over the place. What's on the menu this time? Windows 7, as per usual, this time in build 7106 flavor, both x86 and x64 variations. This is confirmed, by various Neowin members and other trustworthy sources. The screenshot of the build isn't, as you can see, in English but there are apparently English versions that have been leaked, judging by the following build strings: 7106.0.090408-1623_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULFRER_EN_DVD.iso 7106.0.090408-1623_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULXFRER_EN_DVD.iso It's unclear if this is the RC candidate build, or if Microsoft intends to progress further with their builds, but only time will tell.

Windows 7 box art leaks

Potential Windows 7 box art leaked earlier this week from Polish site Centrumxp. Originally many speculated that these images were fake but blogger Long Zheng has unearthed Microsoft using the same logo on the box art, elsewhere. Microsoft has created a Windows Lounge site for internal employees to join a Facebook group for information, training and marketing for Windows 7. The group uses the following image for its logo: Compared to the box art that was leaked it's too similar. It appears as though this could be concept or final box art for the Windows 7 packaging. Microsoft officials have said "off the record" that Windows 7 will RTM in the Summer and be available for the Fall.

Leaked Google OS Screenshots?

Screenshots have surfaced of the suspected Google Chrome OS, without any reliable source or confirmation to back up the claims. The six leaked screen shots show what could possibly be the very first screenshots of the new developer's beta operating system. The beta is labeled 0.1.15 in one of the screenshots, showing the early stages of the operating system. If proven real, the screenshots indicate a Mac OS X spin on things from Google, showing a dock in the screenshot, rather than having a taskbar like Microsoft Windows does.

Leaked Vista Hotfixes to be broadly available in the near future

Microsoft Corp. confirmed today that the Vista hot-fix packs that have leaked to the Web will be issued to all users.


"We plan to make these two updates broadly available via Windows Update in the near future," a company spokeswoman said in an e-mail.


The two updates, dubbed "Vista Performance and Reliability Pack" and "Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack," were posted over the weekend to a third-party download site after being leaked from a group of Windows Server 2008 testers. The list of fixes -- which include performance improvements to Vista's sleep mode and speed increases in copying or moving large directories -- led some users yesterday to speculate that the updates were the forerunner of Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), a major upgrade that many businesses want to see before they widely deploy the new operating system. ..

Leaked documents reveal possible Microsoft Store layout

A few hours ago Gizmodo received an entire PowerPoint presentation revealing the possible layout and concepts of Microsoft's upcoming retail stores. While the documents are fairly old, according to our own sources, the final design for the stores has not yet been finalized. After taking a look at the document, it appears that Microsoft is going to be focusing on Windows 7, Xbox, Windows Media Center (Including Surface) and Windows Mobile. It can be assumed that looking through the slides that there is going to be a massive digital media wall that wraps around the entire store.

Ars reports Windows 7 pricing leaked, later retracts story

Take the following news with your daily dose of salt. Ars Technica had originally reported today that they have the pricing structure for Windows 7, but later pulled the story, then reposted again stating that it was from an anonymous source and "not one of our usual, trusted tipsters." Keep in mind that Microsoft has not announced any pricing for its Windows 7 products, when we asked Microsoft about the Ars story, they told us "final decisions are still being made on details like pricing. We will be in touch when we have more to share." The prices Ars is now reporting again, listed below, are for the full product and not the upgrade.

Windows 7 build 7022 leaks

Microsoft are currently working hard towards the Release Candidate of Windows 7. Currently the only official build available to testers and the general public is build 7000 but we have learned that 7022 has leaked to the internet today. According to a Russian torrent site it was leaked by "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.

New Microsoft Courier video leaked

A new video of the Microsoft Courier (name not finalized) has been leaked onto the Internet, demonstrating in the video just how users will actually use the device. The video didn't show any keyboard but the tablet device will be used through various swipes, flicks and pinches to navigate pages. It's hard to tell exactly the way the device works from the video, but there appears to be a physical home button in the middle of the tablet that brings the user to a home page or the last page viewed. The center of the tablet seems to act as a clipboard for images that allows you to navigate the device to transfer the images to another page.

Microsoft to RTM Windows 7 this week? Build 7260 leaks

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 is the final code unless there are show stopper bugs.
