On Monday, someone managed to leak a new 32-bit build of Microsoft Windows 7 to global torrents. Today, the x64 version was also unleashed via torrent.
The new 7048 build features a few changes such as an updated start button, new icons for Notes, Paint, and Calculator, and alt+tab now has Aero Peek enabled.
Compiled on 2/19/09, 7048 is a pre-release candidate of the upcomming Windows 7 OS and will more than likely not be the RC1 that we expect to see on April 10th.
