That is, if you're willing to, you know, break the law and download the ISO that's floating around on BitTorrent trackers all over the place. The good news here is that the leak is apparently a quite stable, newer beta version (build 7000) than previously spied (6801). We wouldn't know, of course (we try to walk the straight and narrow), but let us know if you've got your hands on it... how's it treating you?

The executable and supporting .dll files weigh in at 464KB, making Greenshot a rather lightweight tool and well suited for a flash-drive toolkit. You can generate screen captures by a variety of methods including using the print-screen button as a hot key and activating the main menu from the system tray where you can capture by region, freehand cropping, etc. Greenshot can be set to send your crops directly to a printer, open for editing, or to be saved. The file naming convention is * userspecifiedword_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS*, typical for screen-capture tools and entirely practical. Once you have captured an image you can add text and shapes such as arrows to draw attention or a bright red box to isolate. One curiously lacking feature is the ability to crop after the initial capture. You can use the freehand-capture tool to carefully grab the area you want when getting the initial capture, but once you are in the actual editing stage there appears to be no method to crop. For another excellent, free, and portable screen-capture tool check out FastStone Capture<http://lifehacker.com/379117/take-and-edit-screenshots-with-faststone-capture>. Greenshot is open source, Windows only.*Thanks Ryan!* Greenshot <http://greenshot.sourceforge.net/> *Welcome to Windows 7* *What's coming in the Windows 7 beta**[image: The Windows 7 desktop]* *Great ideas are often simple and clear. Here's ours: We're making Windows 7 for you. This means we're:* - *Tailoring it for laptops* - *Making it work the way you do* - *Designing it for web services* - *Building it for entertainment* - *Engineering it to be easy to own and manage* *And that's only the beginning.* *[image: Stay up to date with the Windows team blogs]* *Stay up to date with the Windows team blogs. <http://windowsteamblog.com/>* *Information for* - *Developers <http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Win7DeveloperGuide>* - *Enterprise<http://windows/products/windowsvista/enterprise/default.mspx?tab=windows%207%20futures> * - *Press <http://presspass/events/pdc/default.mspx>* *If you're looking for information about Windows 7, you've come to the right place. And as we make new information available, we'll make sure you can find it all from here. If you want day-by-day news about Windows 7, sign up for the RSS feeds of the Windows team blogs <http://windowsteamblog.com/>.* [image: Windows 7] *So what is Windows 7?* *It's the next version of Windows for PCs, and it's the result of working hand-in-hand with our partners and with people who use Windows in the real world every day. We're paying particular attention to the things they're telling us are important to them and will make their PCs work the way they want them to—things like enhanced reliability, responsiveness, and faster boot and shut-down. We're also trying to make their everyday tasks easier, like connecting and syncing devices, browsing the web, and managing a home network.* *Of course, we're also working on new capabilities, so people will be able to do things with Windows 7 that were difficult (or perhaps impossible) to do with PCs before. Finally, we're working hard to ensure that Windows 7 will run on any PC and work with any program that works today with Windows Vista, so upgrading from Windows Vista will be easy.* *We hope this helps you find what you're looking for.
