Fake Alert: Windows 8 Professional Edition
Whilst surfing along the information superhighway today, I ran across something labeled as, “Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Edition (Leaked Version).” Well, curiosity certainly got the better of me, so I clicked to have a look. When I arrived at my destination, I was greeted with the following image:

Rest assured that Windows 8 leaking in any capacity will be covered here, so if you’re ever in doubt… uhhh… check my site out (had to say something that rhymed)!

i never understood the reasoning for fakes, hell! i have seen some long standing members of fairly rebuttable forums make fakes and claim them as real…maybe its an ego thing?
thanx for pointing it out though, people buy into that crap all the time! lol

I can't say 'cause I've not downloaded it, but if I can see through the low quality on the screenshot right it looks like 7 to me (it says ver 6.1).
That would also fit with the general style of the thing (eg. compare that winver to a winver in Vista…
