    Tech Windows 8 Build Information Update

    Information about a Windows 8 build from November have recently been posted on the Internet. The build dates back to November 8, 2010 and has the build number 6.1.7900.0. The build number indicates that Windows 8 in its current phase is still using the kernel used in Windows 7. That’s a natural process and Microsoft will switch to a newer Kernel later in the development, likely to 6.2.

    According to sources close to the development process Windows 8 has finished Milestone 1 and is currently in the Milestone 2 phase. It is projected that the operating system will enter Milestone 3 stage in the first half of 2011 and it is likely that the first beta will be released in the second half of the year 2011.





    Looking back at the history of leaks it is likely that we will see Windows 8 leaks in the first half of 2011 as well once Microsoft begins distributing them to a larger field of testers.

    So the latest Windows 7 build is still 7600 right? Or would this be counted as the new Win7 build?
