He's not the guy whose just been fired is he -- there's stuff over the web about how some guy let his child post a screen shot of build 7070 and then he (the Microsoft employee) was "Escorted of the Premises" and booted out of the door Post haste.screenshots of Windows 7 Build 7070 comes out from guy who’s dad is working at microsoft sql division and he has managed to grab screenshots using remote desktop and posted at Facepunch Forum.
Here is what he says,
I just came back from Microsoft, since my Dad works there. He works for in the SQL server division and here are some screenshots I took about the new build 7070;
I don’t know if there is anything new to this build, but they installed it yesterday, so it probably will be leaked soon. They said it was a major update; maybe not to the user interface but more to the Kernel. Just letting you guys know :P

My thought is that MS knows who it can trust and not. Like living in a small town. You know who can keep a secret. You also know just who to tell if you want something all over town in a couple hours. If the story of the firing is true, it just goes to show that they will punish you if you break that trust. And I don't blame them, although firing might be a bit much for a couple screenshots, but who knows all the circumstances.

I don't think any leaked build is an accident or a true leak. I think they are leaked intentionally else why do we not get leaks every couple of days?
The idea of software being intentionally leaked by software developers has been around for years. It is a perfect way that a developer can get possibly unstable software code tested without the comebacks if all goes horribly wrong. it also helps to build public interest in a project and lets face it Microsoft would want that to be the case.
The more people downloading leaked versions of Windows 7, the greater demand for a later build. Therefore when Windows 7 is finally released everyone on the planet bar a few will be rushing out to buy it.
Also it is like M$ putting back the RC1 release date to May, in turn increases demand.
The way you have to look at it is some things are never released, like the full inner workings of protection scemes, now they are always in demand so therefore someone working closely within developemt of these would no demand was so great they would just have to release the details, but they never do. Therefore there is a high level of trust going on within the company. So therefore don't you think there would be the same kind of loyalty within the same company when it comes to opperating system development. These people at the end of the day want to keep their sometimes highly paid jobs.
I beleive these leaks take place because microsoft want you to get your hands on the newer builds, therefore intentional leaks.
Again if they didn't want us to have them surely the first step to helping slow down or stop it would be to change registration keys and yet they don't. Earlier versions of Windows during beta stages they keys changes all the time.
Anyway just my thoughts.
