Windows 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.

yeah, half those look like heavily modified E17 desktops.


Well it wouldn't be the first time MS has borrowed ideas from it's rivals. ;) (joke)

I'm a little confused why Thom would even linked the article if he himself views them as being fake.
Or did I misunderstand Thom's blog?
