What der Help

Unlike build 7700, this build uses the Windows 7 RTM default wallpaper. The "Send Feedback" shortcut returns to the desktop with similar functionality as in Windows 7 build 7000 (albeit with a broken UI) with the inclusion of logging into Product Studio. The EULA appears to be copied from a Windows 7 RC build. In addition, the preliminary version of Internet Explorer 9 seems to be newer than the one included in build 7700, and does not crash on most websites. However, its rendering capabilities are mostly unchanged. There are also several new kernel exports.

Being very early in development, many areas still say Windows 7 and the kernel is still 6.1 (much like builds 7700 and 7850). There are no significant changes from its predecessor, just some very minor changes and some bugs.

Bugs

 * Some included applications do not launch.

Installation
