Windows 8 build 7900 is a build of Windows 8. It was shown running on a PandaBoard using Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 ARM-based SoC at CES 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA to demonstrate the capabilities of the then-evolving ARM32 architecture, along with builds 7867 and 7893.[1][2]

As this build's lab isn't working on new features, but on ARM compatibility, there are only minor changes in the user interface: the window title is centered instead of being aligned to the left, the caption buttons are slightly bigger than in Windows 7, the branding has been changed to "Microsoft Pre-Release Windows Operating System", and an Internet Explorer 9 build is used instead of IE 8 RTM.

The characteristic User Tile seen in builds 7788 through 7899 isn't present here or is disabled. The desktop background utilizes the one seen in the RTM build of Windows 7 in place of the blue-green gradient Milestone 1 wallpaper that was used since build 7788.
