Windows 8 Build 7989 leaked

Fresh screenshots from a Milestone 3 copy of Windows 8 leaked to the Internet on Friday.
Read more here


The article is brief, but it shows 2 out of 4 new screenshots of the build 7989, a Milestone 3 copy built in April. BetaArchives members seem to be both trying to get and leak this built, while also discussing whether this is actually real or not. The topic can be found here. I hope the thread title is not misleading, so let me just state that, as far as I know, build 7989 is not an official beta, or any other "officially" released build, for that matter.

I guess I could try the x64, but with my 2 gigs of RAM and a dying GPU, I wonder how it's gonna perform...

It would be a pain if those pills don't work with this build and we would have to wait for a newer version xD

Gonna try and install this build now from USB (no more DVDs, all spent on Linux distributions xD)


EDIT: Installed. IE9 is a bit buggy, but the OS seems stable enough. It does require the pill, however, as there is absolutely nothing new worth mentioning. So far it looks like a beta of 7, not 8
