With Microsoft well at work on the next version of Windows — more specifically with Windows 8 M2 development underway — many are hoping for a build to escape Redmond and leak upon us. The build may very well have escaped Redmond, but not to the general public, but through a chain of under-the-table passing from one trustee to the next.
DeviantArt user Misaki2009 with ties to the Russian leaking community has published the following screenshots of 6.2.7867.0.101020-1800 on his dA page:

IE9 just got an even better look

Though, for some reason, this kind of news doesn't exactly excite me just yet. There's still enough time until Win8 leaks actually start appearing to the general public, especially ones that have been developed further than the look of Windows 7; and for that, we still have to wait a while.

Still, it was an interesting read, thanks for that Aaron.

Eh, nothing to see here, move along. The screenies look like slightly modified versions of Windows 7, and since it's coming from an artist, there's no reason he couldn't have easily made the modifications, of which there are virtually none, to.

Saw that on another forum, its totally fake, just a modified version of Windows 7

I'm using that version of IE9

I agree with yowan.

It was revealed to be a fake homemade build

Actually, I hope that Windows 8 doesn't look all that different from 7, because that might mean that they focus on real improvements, rather than just cosmetics.

Like most MacOS iterations today? Might not be a bad idea.

FYI to all,

UPDATE: The screenshots have been forged and are fake. The guy who published these build screenshots has pulled them from dA and stated that they are fake.

Yeah, this is fake so I'm closing it.
