Vista - Windows 7 build 7077 leaked

stealthmode61 · 04-08-2009

Just installed Win 7 ver 7070 and attached winver screenshot. I havn't noticed any major differences from 7068. I think the builds are purposely leaked by Microsoft as it would save them a lot of time, effort and server resources. Might explain why there are an abundance of keys as well.

Thanks for the article... very interesting and I don't wonder how the build was 'leaked'. Microsoft has been doing this for years-consumer testing everything it makes and building buzz.

Can't wait to see the x64 build.

MS has done this for years, brother. Even on newsgroups when Usenet was still accessible. Several years ago a group of people, (won't say who

) hacked the header information in a newsgroup and it led right back to, yep, you guessed it! Redmond, Washington.

Thanks,
