anyweb Posted January 19, 2011 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 With Microsoft well at work on the next version of Windows — more specifically with Windows 8 M2 development underway — many are hoping for a build to escape Redmond and leak upon us. The build may very well have escaped Redmond, but not to the general public, but through a chain of under-the-table passing from one trustee to the next. DeviantArt user Misaki2009 with ties to the Russian leaking community has published the following screenshots of 6.2.7867.0.101020-1800 on his dA page: While there is a chance that these shots may be forged, GeekSmack strongly believes that they are legitimate screenshots of Windows 8 Build 7867, which was the build demonstrated at CES. As you can see, a build of IE9 allowing tabs to be situated beneath the address bar is present in these shots, as Microsoft are compiling internal IE9 builds with such functionality. The dA user who published the shots is not willing to leak or share the build with anyone, stating that we must “wait ’till will leak on the web from Zukona or Canouna”. While 7867 is a very early build with barely any visual changes, the significance of this news is that builds are starting to escape the grasp of Redmond. For leak enthusiasts, this news means that unofficial 8 builds may begin to surface on the Internet from the usual sources shortly. Stay tuned for updates. via > http://www.geeksmack.net/microsoft/windows-8-build-7867-screenshots-surface-hint-at-impending-leak?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=windows-noob.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
