Everything in the screen shot looks legit except the windows logo/button. Why does it look so much like a bad paint fill job (jagged edges)? But then again, you can sort of see the same jagged edges in the store button and the people tile...
Yea I spent a few minutes in Corel with crap that were already screenshots - spending a few hours to get every pixel perfect, to cause an uproar on the net that lasts days/weeks, that is worth it to some trolls, but not difficult by any means
There was talk that current 9 builds look different from 8.1, to the point you could "tell" it was 9. That screenshot looks like 8.1 with a start menu slapped on. The same crappy stripped down UI and everything that we got stuck with in win 8.
real or not, get rid of the purple omg! Make it Blue, in 4 3 2 now! haha Imma go play with myself... err... skyrim
Fair enough, I can't argue with you. Hey in the end it could be fake. I haven't personally seen a 9788 build from my sources. I've just heard of its existence. My point here is that it might as well be real as it looks identical to that of current internal builds. Do keep in mind though that there are multiple branches for Threshold/9 development. I earlier reported that Modern UI windows are broken, they are in some branches but apparently they aren't in other branches. WINMAIN being one of those branches.
Im going from experience of this happening every time there is a rumour of a leak upcoming, and long-timers here on MDL will back me up when I say it happens over and over again, 1 post wonders coming shouting they have this and that ISO and posting screens, then they go down the huffy route and say that because no-one believes them, they have decided not to post the ISO links Same crap, different ISO (Or lack there of)
...right valid points were made, 10+ pages further and we back at square one. - You can easily manipulate screenshots, you don't have to be a photoshop artist either - MS-paint and some patience will do. No screenshot will convince me; as soon as I have the ISO I can install I have proof. Guess the waiting game is on.
Let's get back to the information side of it then, shall we? Let's forget about screenshots until an actual ISO is in our hands.
Look at the bright side, no animals were harmed in the making of this thread and a bunch of us were kept off the streets for a while... When the real leak comes we'll be on it like fleas on a dog...
Well its only logical I couldn't see Microsoft redesigning the whole start menu from BUILD Unless its a new version of windows the way it interacts with Windows itself looks legit.
Not saying that the screenshot was faked. Could be 100% legit. But, com'on guys, the windows logo/button in that screenshot doesn't look very crisp! It looks like someone filled it with a purple color, but didn't bother to smooth the slanting edges. Look at a real Windows 8.1 button and compare it to the numerous "concept" arts out there, you'll see none of them could change the background color of that single button without causing the white Windows logo to lose its edge sharpness against the new background color... Once again, not saying that the screenshot is fake, it could be the real thing. But, if that had been photoshopped, it was done by an amateur. A pro would not have to resort to purple-filling a Windows button cutout. They would just have just put a purple filter on it instead while still keeping the white of it. That would have looked more sharp/professional/sharper without having to do post-color-change pixel editing to restore the anti-aliasing!
if this is not fake, why you can see the mouse cursor? When taking screenshots you can not see the mouse
Well what do you mean? Is something wrong I said? News from Tom Warren This screenshot shows a post-Windows 8 build with the new Start Menu. Is likely to be a giant Photoshop though
When using Winkey + PrntScrn there is no mouse cursor, but there are countless third-party tools for taking screenshots that leave the mouse cursor in the picture, not to mention the possibility that he is running the build in a VM...
