@tsunade, yup.. it is indeed the screen for W8, on tablets.. and based from your Wikilink, here's what I found..

A 64-bit Milestone 3 build, build 7989, leaked to Win7Vista on June 18, 2011 after screenshots were revealed the previous day. An SMS feature, a new virtual keyboard, a new bootscreen, transparency in the basic theme, geo-location services, Hyper-V 3.0, and Powershell 3.0 were revealed in this build.

Check the high res pic I included, kindly look at the bottom-right corner, the Microsoft stamp stated Build 7989.

@ursolla, yeah.. same here, W8 is more on touchscreen and tablets as per description on the news..

----------------------

The UI overhaul shown off by Microsoft is the TABLET VERSION of Windows 8, this is the desktop version.

T*rrnt description.

You can say that but i would say that its more like a ProtoType of Windows 8... There are 100% probability & possibility that the original & final release of the OS might be different as lot of testing goes into an OS development before it is ready to be used by the users. So when released W8 may look a little different to you but this give you a first hand experience of what it might be..

I agree, so I tried..

I maybe wrong about this guys, am not sure either if this is legit or not.. maybe you guys can tell..

I'd like to add this one..

Windows 7 & Windows 8 are same feature it coincide in numbers only. Lol. But Windows sever can be same to windows 8 if you install a "8 Skin Pack 3.0-X64(64Bit)" and install a .Net Frame work version 4 to give your PC like a performance of a windows 8. So I conclude that it a little bit of improving the OS and the skin to become a windows 8 if you have a windows 7 Operating System. Its nice combination. But in the last its depend on your configuration nor hardware of our rigs...

The big difference from Windows 8 to Windows 7 is the ARM Support and the Metro UI...

Apart from that it's just like Windows 7...

Tried running Win8 on a VM too pero wala pako sa newest version w/ Metro UI..

Sure na gyud ni nga Windows 8 is targeted for tablets?

No, Windows 8 will work across tablets and PC's for a seamless experience.

Microsoft is trying to make it like you never left your PC home so its almost the exact same OS as your Desktop. You can do the same things, run the same programs(Doubting this a bit, because the ARM Architecture is different and would probably need tons of emulation power to run x86/x64 programs, but lets see what the folks at Redmond have in store for us.) on both devices.

Hoping they'll be able to grab another pre-release copy with Metro UI na.. Pareha sa una sa Windows 7 nga naa pd release candidate (RC) til' release to manufacturing (RTM) na dayon..

RTM actually means release to manufacturing.

Wala man kaayo buzz ang Win8 unlike Win7. But MS did say that they are going to improve the gaming aspect of the OS, I doubt they can really change much.
