    Not going to happen I'm afraid, Microsoft have already communicated that they have no plans to release an SP2 for Windows 7/Server 2008 R2, and mainstream support ends at the start of next year for both products which also means no new code or features will be added.

    Windows 7 as great an OS is already just over 5 years old now going by it's RTM compile date, and it's been over 3 years since SP1 was officially launched (with it's RTM compile date being 19th November 2010)

    Screenshots will do :) whatever else comes I'm most grateful :D

    Win9? That's so 2014. We already have the pre-alpha of 11. That sh*t is implanted into your brain! Humm, too much Transcendence... :rolleyes:

    The build pictured in the screenshots, build 9795, was compiled on July 13th and is part of the uip_dev feature build lab (FBL). :biggrin:

    Hmm...compile date of 13th of July which was a Sunday...

    I'm guessing Microsoft now do compile builds that run over the weekend, this wasn't the case previously.

    Looking back at some archives it would appear that 8.1 Build 9369 was compiled on a Sunday which backs up that theory.

    Let's wait see what happens first :p

    If really someone is trying it outside of Microsoft lab a leak is bound to happen.

    consider all pre-release data are NO RTM at first hand. You will see a lot more screens and even leaks if any. Windows 9 is not finished yet so we all must see what is coming on this coming year

    Remember Windows 9 "Threshold" is currently in the Alpha stage of development, much will change in the months to come and nothing will be set in stone yet so to speak.

    Every single component of Windows being developed inside Microsoft build labs will be changing on a week to week basis as the teams each add in their code/feature sets.

    Once an official Beta/Release Preview of the OS is released then this will give more of a refined look at what will be shipping in the final (RTM) product.

    Until then, everything is subject to change. :p

    I agree with @ PaulDesmond we will see many of the screens until now assemble the puzzle called Threshold:D
