Just a follow up to the various builds out there. I'm not sure of the accuracy of this report. :-
6933 will NOT be published, however the BETA will be released on the next major build, we've had 6933, and 7000 is the next you will hear of. The BETA. Microsoft says they want to delay the Windows 7 release so they can develop the new Windows Shell much further.
They have completed the Start Bar so far apparently, now they are going to apply more Special FX to AeroPeek, Flip3D, DirectX 11, .NET 4.0, XNA 4.0 (version number pushed farther to match .NET 4.0), MS says they want to push the versions up to the same version of Windows, so everything will match the Windows version number, they hope by Windows X, all software with higher build numbers will be re-created and have the version X, all software with lower build numbers will be pushed up to the date, ready for Windows X (X meaning ten (10)).
After Windows X, Microsoft said, either everything will be X1, X2, X3, etc in versions, or Windows will scrapped with a new idea, and name (depending on how far technology moves by the release). In could be six years before Windows X, but six years will soon go, or will there be a new idea in the spotlight? It's something we have to wait for to find out...
The new Shell and 6801 were both used to make a virtual 'Windows NT 6.1.6933', produced by pirates."
