Post-Beta Windows 7 Build Leaked With New IE8

Posted by timothy on from the seekret-leaks-from-nowhere-in-particular dept.

CWmike writes "A post-beta version of Windows 7, Build 7022, leaked to Internet file-sharing sites also includes an updated version of IE8, according to searches at several BitTorrent trackers. With Microsoft halting new Windows 7 beta downloads on Tuesday, and blocking all downloads as of noon (EST) today, users are again turning to illegal sources to get the new operating system."

    I suppose it's almost obligatory, but "why"?, for heavens sake? Other than having a shiny new toy, who really cares? It's just the latest entry in a quarter century of same-old, same-old.

    Ho hum ...

    retard. Linux is written from scratch which means that there is very little connection to any of the bugs in Unix and its derivatives or variants. Bugs are specific to specific implementations. If Linux contains any code from Unix or any other commercial codebase it basically means "Goodbye GPL" and every linux vendor would get sued to oblivion.

    Its so painfully obvious you've never worked on, let alone shipped anything written in C. What the fuck has happend to slashdot? (No, that was rhetorical) Its filled with windows fanboys and retarded linux cheerleaders... Damn I need to find another technical forum.
