    Windows 8 M4

    I came across this at a blog somewhere. Windows 8 would have a milestone 4 dedicated to UI changes. According to the blog (I'll soon post which is it) it will have major UI changes in Milestone 4 just like Longhorn had. The beta 1 would be released simultaneously. Real changes from M4 would be seen in beta 2 (just like vista). Also the NT kernel will be updated (doubtful). Another piece of info I found on another blog was that 2 years later, they would release a "Midori" (managed code) version of Windows 8. After that NT would be dropped permanently. The blog(s) claims to have their deep 'sources' about the information...

    Source: BA

    Windows 8, as thought by most people, will not have 3 milestones. This time we are 100% damn sure that it would have have a 4th Milestone dedicated to UI changes...
    The current look is too similar to Windows 7. Our sources at MS reported to us that they will drop the Longhorn look except for the Aero. A beta version will be released for the time being but MS will have the real look and feel of Windows 8 in Beta 2.

    The setup of the leaked versions is merely the install.wim of 8 in 7 setup. The real 8 setup has been tweaked and is NOT a full-screen setup. It will require you to restart just once. We'll upload it to a torrent by May 15.

    I know that Zukona and torko26 have the build, but I though that Angel of Despair also has this build.
    The buildstring is: 6.2.7971.winmain_win8m3.110324-1900

    Latest known build is 6.2.7996.0.winmain.110429-1810. ;)

    And agree on that a computer does what you want and a girl not. Sadly its like that. :p
    I'm also so happy I found that one matching me. :D

    That's the last known, but MS must have passed 8000 already.
    btw, what are the new sources, since zuko can't deliver anymore?

    Yeah, cnBeta, the site who pretended to make us believe a homemade app store for Windows was the official store of Windows 8. Reliability: 0%.

    Installed Win8 Build 7955.It is almost similar to windows 7(except for a few modifications in UI).Moreover it will expire in less then two months.Hope that M$ comes up with something more exciting and useful in their final build.

    This!

    We are getting way more this time, than we did with Windows 7. We should be grateful to the leakers. Personally, I think we will be very lucky to see another leak before the beta stage.

    I wonder if the beta stage builds still need unlockprotectedfeatures.exe and shsxs.dll to work, or is the new UI all unlocked now..:confused:
