First Legit Windows 7 Screenshots ?

Posted on January 26th, 2008, by Joel 26 Comments

people are getting really excited about the next windows, which is known as Windows 7 or Windows Se7en. We saw a lot of discussions and rumors going around, especially 2 posts posted by Microsoft’s testers, the first post was deleted after a short while but the cached version still remains on istartedsomething. The next post also revealed few screenshots of what the tester claims to be the GUI of Windows Se7en. This post is not yet deleted and can be found in here.

The poster claims that these screenshots are from the Windows Se7en M1 (milestone 1)

Here is the translated Version from the Original chinese post: (google translator was used)

Several recent Windows seven out of the news, I am not good at Menghua against Menghua still can.
The fact is, Windows 7 is the first Milestone out, and truly act like those from naturally very far.
M1, a relatively new thing: support a number of different display adapters, which is in the same machine at the same time using different graphics to multiple monitors; update stronger Media Center. Also on Win7 plan XDDM driver can only be used for the certification of all XP die.
Win7 planning step is the release of the three Milestone, then Beta, RC, RTM. M1 is January 2008, M2 is 4 / May, M3 is the third quarter, Beta and RC to be determined, RTM is probably in the second half of 2009. Out Vista is released after a three-year, 3-year upgrade also is not bad compared Vista “five years to get” a much better reputation.
M1 ISO to get 6519.1.071220-1525, IA32 and X64 have, with or without debug information with the election, is not Free Zone, the zone is Checked.

Installation of the machines are Bealake/G33 motherboards, onboard graphics, and an ATI X300SE 128M, Core 2 Duo 2.66G, 1G memory, this configuration is not high, not just look at the run smoothly. Vista graphics board with the drive can be installed, chipset inf because no equipment to check the version, the ATI card has never available drive, give up.

Interface with the installation process is very similar and Vista, and even in the choice of different versions of the word or Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, but Pre-Release agreement has been written in the text “Windows 7.” District interface automatically draw a district 500 M, seemingly in support of EFI because of this uncertainty. Intermediate will resume once again after the restart to enter the Win7.

After the start of the first set and the same Vista, including the account name, the machine name, time zone, such as the desktop background. Start the bottom of the interface, greatly read “Windows 7 Ultimate”
