Sources provide Microsoft Virtual PC 7.0 screenshots

With Microsoft's release of Virtual PC 7.0 to manufacturing this week, several sources close to the Redmond-based software giant were able to obtain finalized copies of the product. A collection of screenshots from the soon-to-be released emulation software package are included in an exclusive AppleInsider photo gallery.

Hate to tell you this...your "several sources close to the Redmond-based software giant" haven't given you finalized versions of VirtualPC 7.

You can tell by a number of "clues";
1) Build number, it's exactly the same as the beta build number, which is a date
2) The user manual says "Version 6.1" clearly on the first page.

You've got the July beta (build number tells all!).

The shots are combined from more than one source. So I assume some could be from the beta, but several are also from the final. Aside from the version numbering, the beta and the final look the same cosmetically, as far as we could tell. Many overlapping shots showed no differences between the submissions.

That's of the final. Compare it when it is released in retail.

Best,
