10.5.2006Windows 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."

08.01.2009Windows 7 build 6574 info leaked
Windows 7 is confirmed to still be under works, and despite the fact that Microsoft has tried to hold back the details about the next version of
Windows almost to perfection, details managed to slip through the company's closed doors.
The initial Windows 7 Milestone 1 build was
dropped at the end of 2007 and in early January 2008, but only to close partners of the company. But the development of Windows 7 has moved along
since version 6.1 Build 6519.1.x86.fre.winmain.071220-1525. From build 6519.1, Microsoft went up all the way to Version 6.1 Build 6574.1, reportedly
made available in March 2008. Although the latest build has higher digits it still stands under the category of Milestone 1.
