In spite of (or, thanks to?) Windows Vista, a recent release and all, Windows 7 has been getting a lot attention all over the web - even in the non-tech mainstream and print media. Since Microsoft is holding its cards close, people try to get by on little droplets of information, side remarks by Microsoft employees, slip-of-the-tongues, and, of course, plain-old forgery. PC World thinks these screenshots come from a scheduled May 2008 Windows 7 build, but if you look at them with a little more attention to detail, you will easily spot they are - at best - random mockups from Microsoft, or, - most likely - fake.

These look very much like someone's speculation on the coming interface, rather than actual working screenshots. In fact, some of these have the look and feel of an open-source desktop that has been modified to look Windows-like. This is possible in pretty much every DE and window manager for X.org. It could also be skins created for Stardock products.
I seriously doubt any of this came out of Redmond.
