nsane.forums Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Windows 8 build 7955 has been leaked. The information comes from betaarchive.com who previously leaked the build 7850. As with the previous build, this build is again on a private FTP but is expected to leak publicly in the same fashion as the previous build. Much like the previous leak, it is currently on a private FTP but is expected to be posted publicly in the next few hours. The build 7955 is a pre-M3 build but contains more features than the previous build that leaked, 7850. The file weighs in at 2.47 GB. Betaarchive states: Afternoon all, We have another leak! Anonymous again as you can expect. This could be the one you've all been waiting for. Microsoft Windows 8 (''Windows 8'' 6.2.7955.0) (Ultimate) (m2) ISO Size: 2.47GB (2,657,079,296 bytes) ISO MD5: 40861A02CB14B0D2D7930910DB6CC6E4 It is now available on the FTP Enjoy! Notes provided by the leaker: You can unlock the following: - Ribbon UI - Application Folder (now working, in 7850 it was broken) - Full DWM (hideblur) The following requires the ''red pill'': - Webcam - Login (that ugly guy with ctrl+alt+del, the fishy wallpaper, pattern login) - TaskUI (new taskmanager) - PDF Reader - Immersive Browser Previously, Neowin has covered information that leaked out from build 7955 which can be viewed here. As this is a later build, it is expected that users will be able to unlock features that have previously not been seen. Windows 8 is far off from public availability and it is rumored that a public beta may be announced at PDC later this year. It is expected that Microsoft will launch Windows 8 in late 2012 with the latest rumors suggesting that retail availability will happen in early 2013.

Administrator DKT27 Posted April 26, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 26, 2011 Windows 8 MetroUI OOBE shown off on video With the recent leak of Windows 8 build 7955, we expect more information about Microsoft's upcoming operating system to surface. That trend continues today as we were tipped by @alexerax (who said more updates in the near future) about a new video that shows the out of box experience for the Metro UI. The video shows the basic setup of a wireless network and a little bit more. The video, shown below, comes from the recently leaked build 7955 and provides a glimpse at Microsoft's new Metro UI. Microsoft is incorporating this design language across many of its products and the video shows an early look at the new interface.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiGpfUva3Bk&feature=player_embeddedWindows 8 is far off from public availability and it is rumored that a public beta may be announced at PDC later this year.

madeinheaven Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Less than two weeks after Windows 8 Milestone 1 (M1) Build 7850 made its way into the wild, a new, more advanced Build of Windows vNext was also leaked.Windows 8 Milestone 2 (M2) Build 6.2.7955.0 is now available for download from various illegal third-party sources including some of the world's most popular torrent trackers.Just as it was the case with Windows 8 M1 Build 7850, any user with a BitTorrent client that is willing to disregard the inherent risks associated with leaked copies of the upcoming platform can grab Windows 8 M2 Build 6.2.7955.0 and start testing it.According to information from the source of the leak, BetaArchive, the full Build string of the latest leaked Windows 8 development milestone is 6.2.7955.0.110228-1930.The data indicates that this particular Build of Windows 8 was compiled on February 28th, 2011, a date at which unofficial reports revealed that Microsoft had started the coding work on the Milestone 3 release of Windows vNext.There is some confusion about which stage of the Windows 8 development process Build 6.2.7955.0 belongs to.It appears that the release is a transition Build between the signed-off M2 release and the first M3 bits. But don't expect Microsoft to offer any clarification on the matter at hand.The software giant used the same strategy for M2 as it did for M1 and hid a range of new features in Windows 8 Build 6.2.7955.In addition to such new components as Webcam, Logon UI, TaskUI, PDF Reader and the immersive IE, Windows 8 M2 Build 6.2.7955 also sports the Ribbon UI, Application Folder and full DWM. There are additional goodies packed into this release, including touchscreen gesture effects, but make sure to keep your eyes on Softpedia and I'll provide additional insight throughout the day.While Windows 8 M1 Build 7850 was leaked extremely late after release, so late in fact that it had already expired, the same is not the case with the new Windows 8 M2 Build 6.2.7955.0 leak.Windows 8 M2 Build 6.2.7955.0, also time-bombed, will only expire on July 1, 2011, which means that testers get to use it for quite a while.It's worth noting that the leaked Windows 8 M2 Build 6.2.7955.0 release is not identical to the Build that official testers get. The ISO available in the wild has been cooked with components from Windows 7 in order to get it to install.As such, there's really no telling what else might be packed into the unofficial release, so it might be a good idea for users to avoid leaks altogether.
