Windows 7 M1 build shows up on various torrent sites

It was only a matter of time..

Not too long after Microsoft had released a developer build of the Windows 7 Milestone 1 release to a select few, review and opinion pieces started to leak onto Windows enthusiast sites by OEM employees or their beneficiaries. So it's hardly surprising that now -just a few days later, the full naked DVD image has started to show up on a few torrent sites.

Anonymous pirates vying to snatch credit for the first Windows 7 torrent have only served to frustrate, with many of the downloaders later verifying the various submissions as fake zero byte ISO images, and while we haven't been able to verify for ourselves if indeed a valid Win7 image has been leaked to the pirating community, it sure is stirring up a lot of interest in the past 24 hours!

A previous thread was closed dabt this.On that thread somebody called the news as fake simply because it was written as version number 6.1.xxxx.....

common guys..this news can be fake...but this reason is a lame one..as all pre builds are versioned like this...

Vista is version 6.0.xx and was version 5.5.xx to 5.9.xx while on development...so this can quite happen with windows 7...

Well it looks like Windows viena will just be like win 98se...just a refreash of the older OS rather than a full fledged one
