Development milestones in question, namely Builds 7227, 7229 and 7231, are also available through Microsoft's official channels, just not to the general public. Still, members of the Technology Adoption Program and company partner testers are doing a superb job when it comes down to leaking Windows 7 interim builds that the company is serving for private test driving.

OS X 10.4.3 dual-booted on a Thinkpad video + screenshot

By now a lot of us have seen videos of Apple OS X running on PCs, but we got ahold of this latest video of 10.4.3 running on a Thinkpad -- and it's running damned fast if you ask us. The video drivers still aren't up to snuff and neither is the wireless (no big surprise on either), but we have a feeling that when the official x86 10.4.4 build hits the streets next month there's gonna be a huge surge of development and adaption going on.

Microsoft has silently made available download of Windows 7 Beta 1 DVD ISO image to selected people, independent of the Windows 7 beta participation invite.

Windows 7 Build 6519 Screenshot Gallery

Paul Thurrott has posted a screenshot gallery of Windows 7, you know -the one that was handed to developers back in December 2007; well for those who have been living under a rock and haven't seen them yet, follow the link below.

"... A few weeks back, the first external build of Windows 7, the next version of Windows, fell into my hands. I installed it initially in just a virtual machine and took hundreds of shots, and that's what you're looking at here. Essentially, Windows 7 build 6519--dating back to December 2007--is just a slightly enhanced version of Windows Vista.

My guess--and at this point, it's just a guess--is that things will change more significantly over time. But even in this early build, a number of interesting developments emerge. I'll have more to say about that in the days ahead. For now, enjoy this first screenshot gallery. It won't be the last."

Chrome for Mac in progress - First screenshot posted

Mike Pinkerton, co-creator of Camino and a developer on the Mac version of Google Chrome, has posted the first screenshot of Mac Chrome to his blog. One thing to note though is that the Chrome for Mac is still in progress and what you see in the above screenshot is the first webpage that Mike managed to load in the browser. The only thing that this browser can do currently is load web pages in the renderer processes and display them in tabs. The team had managed to create new windows and tabs using the shared code, which allowed renderer processes to spawn/quit.

First Office 14 screenshot unveiled?

Microsoft enthusiast and blogger Stephen Chapman sends word that he has discovered an early concept Office 14 screenshot from a PowerPoint presentation hosted on Microsoft.com. The screenshot itself appears to be from a slide deck detailing Grava's intergration into Office 14. Grava is a set of tools developed for the needs of those creating educational content. Stephen says he "noticed that instead of the Office logo in the orb, there's a 'G' to obviously signify Grava, so does this mean we're looking at a standalone Grava application or a conceptual idea for how the interface of Office might change to signify the user is currently using Grava?

Windows 3.1 Add Fonts Dialog Still in Vista

Well, so far so good with Windows Vista Build 5472. It's still working extremely fast for me, and the new theme is really nice on my eyes.

Everything seems very stable, and this is (dare I say it) faster then XP fast...

But, some things never change. One of those things is the "Add Fonts" dialog, straight from Windows 3.1. This dialog has been in Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. I think it's time for an update, but aparently this is not on any list at Microsoft :).

Windows Live WebMessenger Beta Getting Closer?

Andy from Messenger Stuff noticed that the Windows Live WebMessenger dogfood signin page has been updated, and now features a different screenshot of the service. The new webmessenger service started external testing back in September, but since then things have been quiet. Maybe this is a sign that a public beta is on the way.



Just a quick recap;



What we already knew:

- Windows Live 2.0/Windows Live Messenger 8.5 interface.

- Custom Display Pictures.

- Personal Status Messages.

- Vertically tabbed conversations.

- Live Search integration.

- Rotating banner ads.



What's new:

- Collapsable contact groups.

- "Last message received" time stamp.

- Nudges.

- Word wheel for contacts/address book.

- Options pulldown menu.

- Connect with Yahoo! Messenger contacts.



Take notice that the Wink, Font/Color and Background buttons visible in the earlier screenshot have disappeared (see screenshot below! , and that the screenshot doesn't reveal yet whether it's possible to send and/or receive custom emoticons.

The śdouble-deckerť Windows taskbar

Long Zheng: To the untrained eye, Ammunitions Longhorn PC concepts last week might look nothing more than standard industrial design renders. But if you stared at it long enough as I did, youd notice the Windows Longhorn screenshot on the monitor shows a taskbar is nothing like anything youve seen before.

Lo and behold, the Internet Explorer 8 toolbar

Long Zheng: First, a few words about the following screenshot. To be perfectly clear, this is not an original image. The window and its contents (address bar, tab, window title, page content) have been heavily recomposited to better fit in a smaller image size as well as to obscure any traces where this might have come from. I did not take the screenshot nor do I have access to the beta (so no emails please but do send bribes regardless). Having said that, I can easily vouch for its authenticity...

iSkin your Smartphone

Apple devotees may not have to wait until next year to get their hands on the iPhone, as its user interface (UI) can be downloaded onto competing devices that are available now. Savvy coders have developed iPhone "skins" that work with most smartphones based on the Windows Mobile and Palm operating systems.

The issue has angered Apple to such an extent that it has sent its lawyers after a number of those involved - both directly and indirectly. The skins don't add any new functionality to the devices, but make use of the iPhone's copyrighted icons to create a UI that distinctly resembles Apple's hybrid mobile phone. Soon after the skins were uploaded to the Brighthand and Xda-developers internet message boards, Apple unleashed its legal team, who sent removal letters to at least one of the websites hosting the files.

Apple's lawyers also sent letters to journalists who simply reported on the fact that the skins were available. "It has come to our attention that you have posted a screenshot of Apple's new iPhone and links that facilitate the installation of that screenshot on a PocketPC device," law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP wrote to Paul O'Brien, who runs the MoDaCo website. "While we appreciate your interest in the iPhone, the icons and screenshot displayed on your website are copyrighted by Apple. Apple therefore demands that you remove this screenshot from your website and refrain from facilitating the further dissemination of Apple's copyrighted material by removing the link to http://forum .xda-developers.com, where said icons and screenshot are being distributed."
