Normally, I don't believe one of those "My friend says..." stories, but a friend of mine has claimed to own a copy of Build 7140 of W7, which was given to him three days ago (Before the leak of 7127). I somehow trust him, because of the fact that he has been giving me updates + news about Windows since the Vista Betas. He told me that the changes in 7140 are almost entirely GUI-related, and here they are:

"I'll give you something like a screencap later, but here's what I noticed so far:
1. You can now add anything to the Taskbar.
2. Icons slightly expand when you hover over them on the taskbar.
3. The "System" menu is more simplistic, and easier to navigate.
4. You can change the login screen picture through the "Personalization" menu.
5. The menu/lists that pop up when you right click on things now have the Aero Glass effect.
6. The default icons for Folders have changed to be the transparent blue ones featured a long time ago.
8. The Minimize/Maximize/Exit buttons on the top-right of a window have changed icons, and are a bit smaller than the Vista/7 counterparts.
9. [BIG ONE]: There's an "Upload" feature for Pictures, files, and videos. If you right-click a file, and click "Upload", you can make it automatically upload to a website of your choice. After uploading, a pop-up will appear saying it's done, and clicking "OK" will cause the link/download link to the file to appear in the popup box. I tried ImageShack and Facebook, and they work.
10. Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese unicode(s) and settings are integrated, so one can run foreign apps or use foreign keyboards without changing languages & restarting.
11. The Orb on the taskbar changes color, based on the dominant R/G/B/Y color of your taskbar (or your wallpaper, if the taskbar is 100% transparent)


I'll see if I can get my friend to give me a screencap to see if he's for real. I'll periodically update this topic.

Then again, maybe your friend's build is from a different build lab.

I agree with \"Dibbes\"...
Cam493:

1. You mention nothing about the Start Menu Orb being changed in your \"Changelog\".
2. I don't think M$ would change the \"Close\" button to only be red with no \"X\" because of the physically challenged (color blind) people out there.
3. Did you use your expert programming skills to get rid of the buildstring on the desktop?
4. I know how to change the buildstring for dialogue boxes to show whatever I edit it to so no proof thus far.
5. Lastly, why wouldn't you open a few windows to show us more changes you outlined in your \"Changelog\" unless you had something to hide?

Just found this : Solor has confirmed (on another forum) that build 7140 is not compiled so it is fake.

He is a very well known person so I am thinking that may be so .

So far it is all speculation it seems . No positive proof of build 7140 . Solor only recently said it was a fake .
I am sitting on the fence and waiting to see which way the land lies :)
We all would like it to be true that it is available but nothing really to show the screen shots look flimsy .

Looks very fake. The start orb surely won't change to that. Its not right.

Also the colours and text on that seem fake. Also the notification area icons don't have the RC look. Plus microsoft stated they won' be making major changes between the RC and the RTM and changing this is sorta major.
 


7140 is being compiled today...all of those supposed changes are the results of someone's overactive imagination.

Thought that might be the way of it :)

The so called screen shots we were subjected to looked weak and without any follow up .
