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."

Windows 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.

Windows 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.

Windows 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.

New IE8 build available for program participants

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 feel that Microsoft have resolved misfiled your bug, please re-activate the bug.

Details on upcoming 8.1 Beta build

Mess.be reports that within the next two days a new build of the Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta will be available through Messenger's built-in auto-update feature.

Because the upcoming refresh comes with installation logging, it will take a lot longer to install. Of course, the logging is Beta-only will not be enabled in the final release.

Also, the currently rather buggy "location feature" for Personal Status Messages will be removed in the new build for further internal finetuning.

Windows Live Messenger 8.1 is currently in Managed Beta-phase.
