And I just got some info about the latest version of Windows 7 Pre-Beta, build 6956, which is distributed during the WinHEC conference recently held in Asia.

There are many major changes in this beta, most notably ones being visual looks.

The startup logo is drastically changed from an elegant transparent progress bar to a very shiny logo of Windows.
