windows770571

Today there is yet another leaked Windows 7 beta on the torrent sites and this time it is build 7057 from March 5th.  The previous leak was just last week of build 7048 and this is a really good sign that the Release Candidate is getting closer to being in testers hands.

Right now the torrent is available from at least Mininova but it is expected to spread very quickly.  Currently there are about 600 that actually have the full copy with an additional 4000+ still downloading it.  One thing that is very interesting with these types of leaks is that they don’t crash Microsoft’s own servers.  Maybe they are quietly leaking things on their own so they don’t have to worry about crashing their own servers due to high demand.

A neowin forums member has already downloaded it and has noticed a few changes:

Functionality Changes:
1. First of all, UAC (User Account Control) issue has been fixed.
2. Now, if you change the size of the icons Superbar changes and the size of the Superbar.
3. Now, if you change the settings UAC opens a separate window, not the page of Control Panel.
4. The system does become a smaller scale as compared to 7048, and much more.

Visual changes:
1. Active windows now blink 7 times as mentioned.
2. Changed icons Editor personal character and program of recovery disc.
3. The watermark now says Evaluations copy instead of for testing purposes only.
4. Several new wallpapers.
5. Many new icons added to user.
6. All references to sending feedback have disappeared
7. New logon/shutdown background

One of the interesting things that he notes is that the UAC issue has been fixed.  The real question is if ALL of them have been fixed.  It currently has quite a few problems with it and I am highly doubtful that they have fully resolved all of the issues.
