Windows 8 M1 Build 7850 leaked on Apr. 12, 2011 it is a build from September 2010 and does not have many changes. Microsoft is inserting timebombs into these builds. So far the only problem I see is Sound is not working in Google Chrome.

There are between 100 to 200 NEW features missing from this list.

Also Windows 8 or 365 will be come pre-loaded with IE10 as you should know IE10 Platform Preview 1 is now available.

I won't post screenshots of M1 because theres not much change. However once M3 is here I will post those.

Builds list is here: http://www.windows7newsinfo.com/smf/index.php?topic=14377.0;wap2

im looking forward to that streaming manager thing

They seem to be heading in the direction like Google Chromium OS is heading. An app store w/ a Gmail sign-on. Someone leaked photos of what the final will look like but I don't think it will look like that. But we won't know what the final will look like when they change the UI in either Beta 2 or 3.

Windows 8 Pre-M3 Build 7955 leaked TODAY!

Windows 8 Pre-M3 Build 7955 leaked TODAY!

I'm still on Vista!  >(   which I don't have a problem with.. but I wish I had W7Pro.. torrenting W7Pro has a high risk compared to other torrents.

M3: SUDO (Password upon any changes made like Linux/Mac OSX)
M3: ASP .NET 4.5
M3: IIS 8.0
M3: .NET Framework 4.5
M3: Change branch to 6.2 from 6.1 beginning to distant itself from being a Windows 7 product

Issues with 7955:
*Drivers WILL NOT install (all experimental; WDDM v. 1.1)
*Chrome has NO sound
*Firefox WILL NOT install unless (Run As Administrator is selected upon install; due to SUDO not fully complete)
*Wi-Fi connections manager still removed (as a result at times you have to connect to the other network option)
*WinEI rank dropping
*Language Explorer crash (trying to select a new language freezes)

Top Status bar is NOW WORKING! It can change itself.

Are u testing Win8a now? if so, post a screenshot of each build update of the new features, etc. if u may.

Yes I am and I will very soon once the lock has been removed.

nice! and the lock? and do u have two computers? one for testing these builds, and another for stable Windows.

Nope. Just one. It is stable enough.

Microsoft has been hidding new features by locking them down and not being able to enable unless you have the right registry key. Each Milestone build has a timebomb of some sort and at some point a different kind of hack to activate. I just managed to activate 7955 which is from Feb. 28, 2011.

M3: Blue Screen Of Death NOW Black Screen of Death
M3: Beginning of MetroUI design of Windows Setup
M3: BSOD now auto-restarts computer (Auto 15 sec. timer)

oh ok.. I wonder how u can manage having to keep installing new builds, and installing programs all over again.. isn't that annoying? I only reinstalled Windows (Vista) on my current computer once.

Nah I like re-installing items. I don't install much when i'm constantly installing new builds.

Nah I like re-installing items. I don't install much when i'm constantly installing new builds.

I'll go crazy if I had to keep reinstalling programs.. I wonder if Windows has a program similar to Titanium Backup for programs.. but from what I have read, u HAVE to reinstall programs, and there is no other way around that

I understand your concern.

FIX: Google Chrome (NO Sound issue)

Instructions:
Select the Wrench -> Options -> Under the Hood -> Disable Individual Plugins -> Details -> Disable Flash File #1 of 2 (@ location C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\12.0.742.9\gcswf32.dll)

You now have sound ENJOY!

FIX: Firefox 4.0 (SUDO non-complete issue + Crash issue upon open)

Make sure you run the install as administrator that will fix the installer not opening and SUDO won't pop-up

When Firefox opens you have to react very fast to close the left page of the 2 because it will crash if you don't

RedPill (An unlocker for hidden features) is available for 7955

Windows 7 Beta 32-bit keys work for activation

Just take pictures with a camera. Its not screenshots but close enough!

I could use the snipping tool but what is there to show really? It still looks like Windows 7 with a bit of changes here and there and some changes are still under lock and key. Thats why i'm waiting till Build 8000 at least because then there would be enough changes.

Windows 8 M3 Build 7959 Enterprise Edition X64 has leaked (3/7/11).

Note: There are many issues with this build.

AERO as you know is NOT ENABLED in Enterprise Server Editions. To ENABLE AERO you must actually download the drivers for Windows 7 x64 bit for your product. You must install it. It won't install the drivers but it installs a directory like ATI in which you can go into it through the device manager and click your display driver. You want to update it and you want to find the file. You must point it to a .inf which is most likely in the drivers folder of the GPU program install. Once pointed to it you will see a list of drivers and select the one that you know you have then it will install and enable AERO fully.

Bluetooth DOES NOT work in this build. I've been unable to install mine. But some might work.

Sound must be enabled individually by clicking the audio icon and hitting yes to enable it.

Wi-Fi/Wired connection must be enabled by going into the Control Panel -> Programs & Features -> Add/Remove Windows Features (It will be disabled until you install the feature and will ignore any enabling)

IE9 will block many sites from downloading until you shut off the Security which is in the Server Manager that pops up when you start Windows you must turn off IE ESC for Administrators & Users.

Password must have a Capital, More than 8 characters w/ Alphanumeric + Number characters or it won't accept.

Desktop Experience will need to be installed for AERO, Windows Media Player & Photo Viewer.

UPDATE:

FIX: Microsoft Security Essentials will NOT install on beta builds

1. You will need to enable compatibility mode (right-click mseinstall, select properties, compatibility tab, select Windows 7 & run as administrator)

ISSUE: Skype errors out w/o explanation. NOTE: IDK if it is just that something is wrong with my computer or not.

M3: WinFS(Future Storage File System; Name can change at anytime)(NTFS replacement) - Was featured in Vista at one point but was pulled due to problems; features in Windows 7 at one point and pulled once again.

M3: Guest Mode File Storage(Guests won't be able to save files to the drive internally; external drive is required upon signed out to save files)(USB Storage, Memory Card, External HDD, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW)

Beta 1: Cloud UA Roaming (On Paid networks or low bandwidth networks) this goes along with the option to sync certain settings such as Personalization, Accessibility, Language Settings, Application Settings, Windows Settings & Credentials; other computer must have Windows 8 w/ Roaming ENABLED.)

M2: Moving files to upper folder structure
