Yeah, the fact that Windows 7 Ultimate as one of the apps either means this is a fake or Microsoft has a decent sense of humor.

Since you can already buy upgrades to Windows 7 Ultimate from other versions Windows 7 online as a "Windows Anytime Upgrade" this is just the kind of thing I'd expect to see in Windows App Store.

I really doubt they'd just plop it in with the other apps.

This is pre-beta software. What do you expect? Some QA guy would've just seeded the data so that people can see how it looks. You people are talking as if this thing is a leak of something releasing tomorrow.

Fair enough - though I think senior people would probably have worked out the major categories by now, and there definitely wouldn't be an "OS" category.

The Chinese site where this originated has posted both real and fake stuff in the past; they seem to be fairly indiscriminate about their sources. That's why I kind of have a "presumed fake until shown to be real" mentality with their leaks.
