Windows 8 build 7900 is an internal build of Windows 8. This build was shown running on a PandaBoard using a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 ARM-based SoC at the CES 2011 trade show to demonstrate the capabilities of the then-evolving ARM32 architecture, along with build 7867 and 7898.[1][2]

CES 2011 demo differences[edit | edit source]

Various aspects of this build were either changed or disabled during the CES 2011 demonstration, two of which are likely a result of file replacement originating from newer builds:

  • The characteristic User Tile seen in builds 7785 through 7899 is disabled.
  • The Windows Fingerprinting Service is disabled, as evidenced by the lack of the Microsoft Confidential leak warning in the watermark.
  • The desktop background was changed to 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 7762.
