WinHEC Officially kicks off on Tuesday 4th May. But we’re beginning our coverage a little early. We managed to get hold of a little sneak peek at the upcoming build that will be released to those attending WinHEC (on Tuesday). A new “theme” is included codenamed Jade which is a combination of slilver and blue. The build tag is 4074.idx02.040425-1535. As for DCE in this build, wait and see

Keep an eye out for our exclusive coverage here at Neowin over at neowin.net/winhec where we’ll be blogging daily and keeping everyone up to date with everything Longhorn.

Update: It’s not 100% that 4074 is the WinHEC build since 4073 contains the same Readme, we’ll let you know as soon as we do. The build will contain the same as we’ve described though either way.
