    What are you talking about? Build 7927 has leaked, the Install.wim is on torrent websites. An ISO is available on the BA FTP server. Why shouldn't there be excitement?

    I'd just like to extend my thanks to Tapferke (Andrew, I believe) for leaking the download details..

    :rolleyes:

    While people are (somewhat) excited about 7927, I like to point out something else:

    We saw on build 8064 about the new term "Windows Developer Preview"; many people thought that it's the special name given to the edition to released to subscribers in BUILD... I think it's wrong.

    canouna had mentioned that the name "8" was deleted from win8 later builds, and was replaced by a "temporary name", earlier he mentioned that "Windows Developer Preview" was shown since build 802x.

    From the watermark we saw on 8059, it is evident that "Windows Developer Preview" is the temporary name. and a new official name is yet to be announced.

    This is dumb, 7927, the install.wim isn't even seeded. Can someone atleast post download links? It's taking way too long.

    I was referring to Tapferke here, which I think may be called Andrew - but potentially not the same Andrew I know.

    But I think this menu appears only on mouseHover, because I think the new start screen has to be available within not more than one click and on the other hand the time/date overlay can't stay visible while working...

    Maybe Canouna could comment on that...

    Why does everyone want 7927 while they already have 7989? I don't see any reason to downgrade to 7927.

    I only want to test it. But where can I download it now? The torrent has no seeds.

    There is no point in collecting useless old builds. Are they gonna show them at a "Tech Museum"?
