Enthusiast are digging through the latest build of Windows 7 leaked to the web and are already displaying some of the recent changes that have been made. Here are a couple so far. The EULA currently states ‘Release Candidate 1’, could this also suggest that Microsoft is also holding a RC2 card close to the vest?

Windows 7 is reaching that special stage of development

Beautiful account pictures.

The latest build includes some beautiful account pictures that are just vibrant and stunning in detail, not to mention culturally aware. The Windows Team is focussing strongly on personality and connection, the new Welcome Screen reveals this, which some persons are already panning as too messy. One disappointment I have noticed is the lack in enhancing the Aero Basic theme. I hope this theme gets updated with a better looking Taskbar color, the bluish/silver appearance is a bit of a turn off.

Windows Build 7057 Leaked – New Welcome Screen?

According to Windows 7 Enthusiast site http://blog.win7.ws, another Windows 7 development build has found its way outside of Redmond. Carrying the build number 6.1.7057, the site displays screenshots of the Setup.exe along with digital signatures showing a time stamp of March 6th 2009.

In addition to that, a screenshot of the new Welcome Screen has appeared in the NeoWin.net forum:

New Welcome/End Session artwork

This new build features a more gentle human art work. I love it! What looks like grass straws or shrubs growing out of the right side of the screen while a tiny white humming bird extracts nectar. Coming from Jamaica and living in the country, I see a lot of humming birds daily and they often extract the nectar from a flower, so there needs to be some work there. Overall, its a welcome departure if this is actually real.
