Windows 7 Build 6780: New Videos and Screenshot Round-Up
(Follow me on Twitter: msftkitchen)
Update: Content from thinknext.net has been removed.
Zhou, the guy from thinknext.net who fears not the powers of the Sinofsky, has come through again and posted some videos of Windows 7 build 6780. I’ll direct-link to the videos, then below are links to all of the screenshots currently floating around out there of this build (including the ones I posted). Lastly, I’ve written a summary of what we know about this build up to this point. If more surfaces, I’ll just update this post. Feel free to comment if you know of anything elsewhere that I’ve missed. If (or when) the build leaks, I won’t bother keeping up with this thread any longer.

Windows 7 Build 6780 (M3) Miscellaneous Information:

- This build contains new wallpapers.
- Those with the build have commented that 6780 is a very responsive build and great on performance.
