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."

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.

25.04.2006Windows Vista Build 5219 to be
released at MS PDC
Microsoft will tomorrow
release a refreshed build of
Windows Vista at it's
Professional Developer's
Conference.
Thi
s build is 5219.
No. It is not
Beta 2. No. It is not Beta 1.
Yes. It is newer than Beta
1. It is a pre-beta-2 build.
Screenshots leaked
onto the internet earlier
today have led people to
erroneously claim that the
5219 build compiled on 050824
(24 August, 2005) is the build
that will be released at
PDC.
This is
untrue. Contrary to popular
belief, every new build
generated is not necessarily
automatically incremented by
1. If this were true, the
correct 5219 build (more on
that below) would have been
one compiled before 050824.
Thus the 5219 050824 build
would not exist. We have
confirmed that the 0824 build
is a legitimate build which
was issued to OEM partners for
testing. Did you leak these
screenshots IBM as you did the
screenshots of the 5203 build?
Build 5219
compiled on 050830 (30 August
2005) is the one that will be
released at PDC.
How is that
possible? Simple. Microsoft
compiled mutiple builds of
5219 over the period of at
least a week before finally
declaring 050830 as the final
build for
5219.
Among the
changes from 0824 to 0830 is
the fact that the sidebar
visible in 0824 has been
removed in the 0830 build.

26.08.2006Windows 7 "Pre-Beta" Build 7004
Doug Holland:
Scott Wylie, Microsoft's New Zealand Director of Development and Platform Strategy,
wrote today on his blog about his experience installing a pre-beta build of
Windows 7 on his home laptop.
It is interesting to note that the pre-beta build of
Windows 7 installed on his home laptop seems to be build 7004,
which if the term "pre-beta" is accurate would indicate that
Windows 7 beta one will be some build number higher than 7004. On the blogosphere the general consensus has been that beta one
would be build 7000.0.081212-1400 which the following screen shot from Scott's laptop could indicate is inaccurate.

Internet Explorer 8 beta participants today received a surprising e-mail about 'IE8 Partner Build' released to the IE8 Technical Beta to test
and find issues. This build represents a preview of IE8's progress and is best used to verify issues fixed since releasing Beta 2. While Microsoft
believes it to be of adequate quality for you to use, is not as extensively tested as a milestone build, so it is not meant for the general public but
only for testing purposes. Microsoft is not providing any support for this build and henceforth just like in transition from Beta 1 to Beta 2, if you
