Windows 7 Build 7000就是Beta

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：Windows 7 Build 7000就是Beta

 据微软称，Windows 7 Beta将在最近提供下载。而事实上，12月底时，Windows 7 Beta就可以在MSDN和TechNet网站以及各大BT站上下载到了。而在中文版的TechNet上，Windows 7 Beta已经被列入“即将提供下载”分类了。

但现在的问题是，微软是否会将Windows 7 Build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400作为公众Beta版本，还是会发布一款更高版本。而据微软此前透露的消息，从7004版本开始，Windows 7就已经进入RC阶段了。也就是说，微软依然会将Windows 7 Build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400作为公众Beta版本？

来自微软主管Steven Sinofsky的消息更加证实了这一点：“在过去几个星期里，很多地方都下雪了，在这段时间里，我和我的同事都在自己家里的机器上安装了Windows 7 Build 7000，也就是我们即将珍惜爱2009年初发布的WIndows 7 Beta。 有关Windows 7的更多消息，将留意我们的网站http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7。”

附部分原文：

According to Microsoft, Windows 7 Beta is officially nothing short of a recently published download. Fact is that, while the public release of the first fully-fledged Beta for Windows 7 is yet to go live, the Beta bits have been offered via MSDN and TechNet since December 2008, and also leaked and made available for download via BitTorrent websites at the end of the past year. Windows 7 Beta is featured under the “Recently Published Downloads” section of TechNet China, which is the proper translation of the section label into English, even though Google Translate interprets the text as “released in the near future to download.”

The Windows 7 Beta mention is only displayed on the Chinese version of the TechNet Evaluation Center (via Neowin), and not on the English version, or on the Chinese and English variants of the MSDN Evaluation Center. However, the Windows 7 Beta reference on TechNet Evaluation Center China is not all that new, but it certainly did not pop up on January 5, 2009.
