A leaked build of Windows 8 has hit the internet. The private FTP site BetaArchive has one of the first records of the release, which was uploaded by an anonymous user (of course). The file name for the 2.45 GB image is 6.1.7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508_x86fre_client-enterprise_en-us.iso. But it's a fake. Slyck read the feedback from torrent sites and found comments saying that this is just Windows 7 renamed to Windows 8: "This is a fake. Info gathered from files : 6.1.7600. 16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255). Since Win 8 is a new kernel, this aint it."

That makes me a sad panda. I was scrambling to find the download at work but couldn't find one. D:

lol

Joke is on those who wanted the leak, but question is... Who did it? Microsoft or somebody else?

 

[SausageDawg]

Thought as much. I'll admit, I did download it to see if it was any different to Windows 7, but the only difference I could find was the icon in the bottom right and a few more account pictures...

My guess is it was someone seeing how many people believe it.

 

[jjsoviet]

Lol. Lucky I didn't try it out, then.

What a brilliant idea! Taking W7, re-branding it and then "leaking" it. I wish I thought of it first.

 

[Sgtbash]

Is it just me or did the "Windows 7" text make it a bit too obvious?

 

[vspec]

Since When has comments from a torrent site ever been reliable news?

 

[kiwiasian]

Lol.

 

[vspec]

That windows 8 leak is actually a real win8 m1 build.

This same ****e happened when vista m1 was leaked, it looked like xp with some core changes.

 

[Onions]

llol i called that long time ago XD

 

[vspec]

it's not fake.

if it was fake, why would Microsoft go through the trouble of getting it removed from every torrent site?

i did a little looking into this and its not afake it is in fact the m1 version meaning onlythe core changes were mad making this look exactly like windows 7 (gui) however resourses are used diffrently and such

 

[kan3]

I knew it too.

 

[cubanresourceful]

Since when is a bunch of users on a torrent site commenting on the validity of the OS to be taken with more than a grain of salt?

 

[vspec]

I can't believing most of you guys are falling for this. It's a real m1 build of win8, beta archive proved this already.

so stop saying it's fake.
