Poll: Do you think the leaks are deliberate?

Do you think these are actually deliberate, or just some random internal guy with access to all the code is leaking it for the hell of it?

I have a feeling it's the former, after all, MS doesn't seem to be trying very hard to stop these leaks.

Nah,. they don't care,.

Not sure, but I think it's pretty stupid they didn't add some serial protection, I mean they couldve easily blocked the leaked serials and assigned new ones to real beta testers.

C'Mon.... you get a billion free beta testers... until it goes to RTM, this is basically a beta OS... Once the RTM is out, you'll not see any more such releases (just like with other OS)

Sorry, I was referring to intermediate leaks. Ie, not build 7000 or 7100, but the ones in between.

I don't think they are leaking, I just think they probably don't care. The more people using and familiarizing themselves the OS the better.

also they are getting a lot of publicity for windows 7 for free, handing out windows 7 for free and not caring about it may hurt them in the long run (piracy) but in the short term it will help sales upon its release, i mean depending on its price i will be buying it

Threaded Mode \| Linear Mode Windows 7 leaks
