Nice Shots! /me unplugs dvd-rom and fixes up 8gig just incase I happen to stumble apon it...

_BUT_ dosnt this fall under the doom3 leaked shots subject?

It says for testing purposes only and it is a beta. did microsoft meant it to me leaked or what? cause we use leaked nvidia driver and talk about them and its ok here. however, can't the general public look at screens of the operating system or is that illegal? Correct me if im wrong. And check out these pics from a real beta tester. very nice!

-I dunno....the line is kinda wavy...

i mean nvidia doesnt care if we test their beta drivers. but the doom3 guy (forgot his name mike or chris or something) didnt want us to play the alpha or know how it got out. but what about microsoft? do they care also or dont they? btw, nice wallpaper.

FAKE

Earlier this morning, I posted an article debunking rumours of WinBeta having released a build of Longhorn, coded as build 4008. At the time, there was not a single copy available, it was only partially uploaded to a particular newsgroup.
So, what has happened since then that I would revisit the topic? Not much. The full version of it is now floating around the net, and as is our way, we have grabbed a copy to test it's authenticity. Many times it has been claimed that a build was indeed real, and all but once so far, it's been proven to be false.

When the release was made public this morning, tagged as a WinBeta release, we debunked it immediately, for we had made no such release...we only ever tag as ours what we have tested and know to be true...this we do, as a committment to quality releases for your enjoyment...

what? im getting it right now. and winbeta is saying if they dont release under their name its a fake. they never said anything of why its fake and how. and what about all those pictures including the second from another person on another forums having it already installed and posting those pics. and what about the video? how is it fake. i just think winbeta.org is bit**ing cause it didnt release it first. ill tell you guys first hand if its fake or not. i still got another 30 minutes of download....

Very possibly. Is this version a bootable disc?
