As neat as it is to see these early glimpses, it saddens me that someone has actually leaked this somehow.

There is no leak of 7989 on Beta Archive. If so I would be downloading now and I'm not. This was posted here there by a member who said in big red text that these may be fake. Here is the original thread link --> http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19917

Paul get your facts strait * This build has NOT leaked. * BetaArchive does NOT have it * BetaArchive members simply reposted the images, Go look up the correct source of the images, The My Digital Life Forums, and give PROPER credit where it is due.

What's the deal with the crossword thing? I don't think any of the letters have changed. The thing that sticks out is the SQL though. The "R T O S" almost looks like "realtime OS", which is what Windows CE was (or could be, with the right OEM modifications). If Win8 replaces CE, it could be the replacement realtime OS for embedded hardware devices. It does run on ARM after all.... BTW: Isn't anybody posting pics of this prone to the "civil and criminal liability", as stated by the screenshot?

hey Paul I don't understnd why you say WP7 does not have a unified calendar. I have live email and outlook in the same calendar on my HTC Arrive, one calendars appointments are red, the other blue. I think you are misinforming people about it.
