Windows 7 shots makes the rounds
WinInfo | at | by Mike
While Microsoft remains cagey about its plans for Windows 7, its successor to Windows Vista, a very early pre-release version, the M1 or milestone 1 build, has been making the rounds online this week, causing a flurry of excitement despite the fact that there's nothing truly exciting about the build at all. As one might expect of a very early version of the next Windows, Windows 7 build 6519 looks and acts almost exactly like Windows Vista, with only minor changes here and there, none of which are particularly notable. What can't be determined from this build, of course, is whether Windows 7 will be a big deal or what I think of as "Vista R2," a minor follow-on to Vista that adds some new features and lots of fit and finish work.
