Windows 7 Build 7232 Leaks, Has New Wallpaper

By - Source: Tom's Hardware US

The latest Windows 7 leak shows wallpaper freshness.

Windows 7 build 7232 has leaked onto the Internet. Some believe that this is one of the last builds before Microsoft stamps its upcoming operating system with the RTM status, but the company has estimated that the release to manufacturing won’t happen until late July.

Nevertheless, there’s still progress since the first release candidate build 7100 – mostly in the area of drivers and application compatibility. There is one immediately noticeable change in the latest build, and that’s a new wallpaper that replaces the betta fish that we’ve seen ever since the first public beta build 7000 from January.

What you see below could be the final wallpaper that users will see loading up Windows 7 for the first time. It also provides a detailed look at the revised Windows logo, which features cues from nature, for this generation of operating system.

The same logo was first seen on the mockup shots of the Windows 7 retail box. Of course, with the bevy of new wallpaper choices included in Windows 7, the default logo wallpaper probably won’t remain on the desktop for long.

    It must be nearing release if the most news-worthy change is the default wallpaper. It beats that meadow/prairie background that came with XP.

    OOkay. Nice and all, but just to be honest, could care less about the shiny, bling wallpaper.
