Thread: Windows 8 Milestone 3 7955.0.x86fre.fbl_srv_wdacxml.110228-1930

Windows 8 build 7955.0.x86fre.fbl_srv_wdacxml.110228-1930 leaked to the Internet recently, and is rumored to have been created shortly after the D9 conference where Microsoft showcased the new operating system. The build is severely limited in the sense that it is still using the same graphical user interface from Windows 7, but does have extended features and support.

Windows 8 Milestone 3 7955.0.x86fre.fbl_srv_wdacxml.110228-1930 has a MD5 checksum of 40861a02cb14b0d2d7930910db6cc6e4 and leaked to peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The .iso file has a file size of 2.47 GB (2,657,079,296 bytes).

The installer classifies the operating system as Windows Server 2008 R2, but the description indicates that it is an internal build. This is likely due to the fact that Windows 8 is being developed from the Windows Server 2008 R2 code branch, and may be forked to support a new client-server model in the future.

The file described above is an unmistakeable fake. Check out the video below for details:
