I would suggest you download build 7048 x64 or build 7057 x64. There are many many places you can get the ISO files on the internet at broadband speeds. PM me for links. Hundreds of thousands of people are running these builds and some are reporting bugs to Microsoft. They know who is using these leaked builds and they know leaks will occur. So, they are taking advantage of the telemetry data pouring in to fix issues. It's OK to run these leaks. Stay away from build 7000, it's just too old at this point IMHO. :)
well its not that old...
a 3 month build is till a useful and like i said officially supported by MS...
also if you have bluescreens and such we can only be debugged in build 7000 (since they MS gave the symbols out for only that build....)
i say go for it but dont say we didnt warn ya...
at least with bluescreens and debugging that is..
every else we can help with..

Aye, I'm a developer myself (albeit of much smaller sized projects than Windows) and figured that they'd more or less just be happy with additional feedback and care less about who is sending feedback than what the feedback is as it means far more money in the long run for them to make a better OS than to have a few hundred/thousand people using it illegally costs them. A bit late, actually on 7057 x64 at the moment right now (I downloaded it earlier today since making the post) and have had no issues so far other than the known desktop.ini file popping up which was quickly fixed. Anyone used 7061 yet to know if it has enough changes to be worth updating to?
Great to hear. I am using 7057 x86 and no bugs to speak of. Rock solid for me. :)
7067 was the build for 090317-1922 is what I understand. If that is the case then today's build is 7069 for internal, private, ISV, hardware partners, and developers. Not likely to leak.
There is a fake torrent purported to be build 7061 in the wild which is FAKE and a trojan is reported in the downloaded files. However, I did see on Connect bug reports that an internal tester has submitted a bug for build 7061. So, the build is real just not leaked.
My research indicates the following builds:

This is true, i mean i still send feedback from 7057, in all honesty i don't think they really care, and even if they did i would lmao if i got a call or visit from microsoft. Very unlikely, they probably appreciate it as some of the bugs are fixed from 7000>7057 and it will cause less repeat reports.
Hi guys, hes actually talking about Microsoft Connect
Register with this code: WIN7-3HQW-RF74 and you can download it any time in various forms, 32bit, 64, and releases.
Hope that helps.
