About this tag
Build 7989 is a leaked Milestone 3 build of Windows 8, compiled on April 21, 2011, with the build string 6.2.7989.0.winmain.110421-1825. This early pre-beta version circulated online after being leaked by a former HP employee. Discussions on the forum cover installation on VMware, a first-look video preview, and observations of developer Easter eggs such as a modified boot screen and a partially filled crossword puzzle. The build also revealed early features including a new virtual keyboard, SMS support, and per-feature licensing. As an alpha-stage release, build 7989 offers a glimpse into Microsoft's development process before Windows 8 reached beta.
