It looks like another leaked build is out. If that is the case and we end up getting an official release in the next week, would that be the last build prior to the RTM?
If I was Microsoft, I would release an RC about 2 to 3 weeks prior to the RTM. Depending when the RTM would be finalized...

While my previous report about the leaked Windows 8 “Blue” build was based on screenshots posted to a Polish tech enthusiast forum, I’ve since gotten my dirty little mitts on the build and have installed it to a virtual machine. Based on a...

In the leaked build 7989, some of the developers at Microsoft's had some fun with the boot screen, making a quick copy/paste job of the beta fish we came to know and love in Windows 7.

Hello everyone and welcome to Windows8Forums.com :)
As of September 10th, 2011, there has been two legitimate builds of Windows 8 leaked on the internet. Both builds were leaked by an HP employee who recently lost his job, hence why there have been no builds since July. The two builds leaked...

Someone brought out the fact that it may not be possible to discuss leaked builds here. This is not the case. If the builds are leaked, they're leaked.

According to BetaArchive, Windows 8 is nearing the M3 milestone, the final stop on the way to beta. And they’ve received a new leaked build of Windows 8, build 7989 (7989.winmain.110421-1285.615974c7346f7374). Here are some shots of the build, including...
While those screenshots of the supposed “Windows App Store” turned out, as expected, to be fakes, there’s no doubt Microsoft is working on something along those lines to deliver in Windows 8. In fact, some of the bits are already in place in the leaked Windows 8 builds which have been shared on...
I’ve been toying around with the leaked build 7955 of Windows 8 for a little while now and came across this ‘revamped feature’ earlier today …

I’ve refrained from posting much on the Windows 8 under-the-hood features that individuals with access to recently leaked Windows 8 builds have been unlocking as of late. But I can’t hold back from mentioning “Redhawk,” which seems to be part of the larger Windows 8 package.

It looks like Microsoft's "shhh... let's not leak our hard work" plea to Windows 8 testers has fallen on deaf ears, as an early development milestone of Windows 8 was leaked in the wild. The shots are remarkably boring, since it looks exactly like Windows 7. Duh.

Leakers seem to have gotten their hands on what may be the final Windows 7 Service Pack 1/Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 builds. It seems like a good time to revisit what will be in the first SP...
