Windows 7 Beta 1 got leaked onto BitTorrent sites like wildfire around Christmas and many people got it as Christmas present from BitTorrent sites to see how the successor of Windows Vista will look like but the timing of the leak looks like it has been deliberately leaked by Microsoft itself?
The reasons which indicates Microsoft's hand in the leak are:
The leaked build hit BitTorrent sites right after Christmas when the Windows geeks had nothing better to do and bloggers and journalists had nothing better to write about.
The official Windows 7 Beta 1 will be released some time in January but this trial version will give people a good idea about what they’ll be getting because the leaked build is designated "7000," which strongly suggests that the code could be same as forthcoming Beta 1, or close to it.
This leak lets Microsoft to get ahead of Apple since Microsoft knows that Apple is preparing to release Snow Leopard at Macworld. Microsoft might have decided that an early leak might make its potential customers happy because they will get a good taste of Windows 7 few weeks earlier before the release.
This leak will give immeasurable marketing benefits because Google news search is already showing hundreds of stories related to Windows 7 Beta 1.
This time Microsoft has turned blind eye to the leak which looks very inconsistent if we look at Microsoft's past history in cases of piracy.
If you are already trying out Windows 7 Beta 1, then let us know how its different from Windows Vista?
