BitTorrent Bootleg Windows 7 Beta has Issues
|
A beta version of Windows 7 is out on BitTorrent. You can get a copy and run it before you’re supposed to – but it’s illegal; and if you live in the UK, or possibly some other countries in Europe, you’ll be aware that certain ISPs are watching you. It might be a mistake to download it, because it’s not possible to apply security updates to the bootleg version. That includes the recent "out of band" update for a seriously critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The build which was leaked was a daily build for the beta, probably only for the development purposes of Microsoft staff. It wasn’t supposed to be leaked; and those who do have legal access to it have access to a proper beta version which may include the fix. Microsoft has no reason to release a patch for this version; after all it’s not supposed to be in the wild. If you download this version you are risking your online safety.
