Even though the next big update to Microsoft’s Windows OS codenamed “8″ is scheduled for release in late 2012 or early 2013, it seems these dates would need re-adjustment keeping in view the rate which all these builds are leaking out. Just over a weak ago, build 7955 of Windows 8 was leaked and today build 7959 is floating all over the web. This build which is reported to be extremely buggy, is the first 64-bit M3 (Milestone 3) build of server type that has been leaked. The download size for the build is roughly 2.87GB.
