Windows 7 is confirmed to still be under works, and despite the fact that Microsoft has tried to hold back the details about the next version of Windows almost to perfection, details managed to slip through the company's closed doors.
The initial Windows 7 Milestone 1 build was dropped at the end of 2007 and in early January 2008, but only to close partners of the company. But the development of Windows 7 has moved along since version 6.1 Build 6519.1.x86.fre.winmain.071220-1525. From build 6519.1, Microsoft went up all the way to Version 6.1 Build 6574.1, reportedly made available in March 2008. Although the latest build has higher digits it still stands under the category of Milestone 1.

With this release, the company has tweaked the installation process of the operating system only superficially, but now the License Agreement references Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista. The build still contains the same kernel as Windows Vista, it has yet to move on to the kernel labeled 'MinWin'. The installer no longer requires the introduction of a product key until the finalization of the installation process, and after the initial setup, and even at that, the phase can be skipped entirely. Allowing users to run the build as a trial.
The build also features a touched-up GUI. Windows Explorer comes with two new buttons, one for Views and the other for switching the preview panel on or off. The build brings to the table the Health Center, complete with mouse over reactions. Windows 7 M1 Build 6.1.6574.1 also permits end users to temporarily disable the User Account Control in scenarios where the UAC requires multiple confirmations.
