It was only yesterday that we caught our first glimpse of Windows 8 build 7989 but now the full build has been leaked. The leak has been posted to BetaArchive's semi-private FTP site and is also available on other sites around the Internet. This latest build weighs in at 3.54GB and is from the M3 development stage.

Meh, all it is is some interface changes. If I want the Windows 8 experience I'll use a customization pack, such as MrXidus's

All I need to do is to wait for the final release as I don't like testing pre-release Operating Systems.

I wouldn't go near any of this Windows 8 leak builds, firstly cause you have no idea if this build is genuine and also it’s been out for more than long enough now for malware writers to have injected code into it before releasing it to torrent sites and secondly they are nothing like the preview Microsoft gave us of Windows 8, there basically unstable dodgy versions of Windows 7.
The final release of the OS is expected around October 2012 so in a few months we should have the first official releases.
One question the build no. is 7989 .... aren't the build that start with 7 fom Windows 7?:D

I was noticed that build number that was in 7 is equivalent to Win Seven however from the leaked pictures surely its same as Windows 7. Like the main interface the Aero Glass Transparency was only adopted to Windows 7.
