Just not buying that this real. Why would they reuse Windows 7 wallpaper, and return to NT style login. It is a repost from: http://www.withinwindows.com/ looks like they enjoyed the traffic too much to let it go, as a follow up reveals more detail: http://www.withinwindows.com/2011/04/02/windows-8-secrets-wi...

If these are real, they're screenshots of an early internal build. It'll be a while before they start adding the final artwork.

Are you referring to "press ctrl-alt-del to login" as NT style login? This style is still in Windows 7 if you set your network up like that.

You're entirely right, that's a domain-policy option. It's a security feature to require a Ctrl+Alt+Del before showing a password box.
