windows 7 mondo?

[mikesw]

Does anybody know what windows 7 Mondo Blue edition is? Is this a pre-release RC version

and are there any other edition types?

I found reference to 'mindi' too via google, but there doesn't seem to be detailed info on these.

It's a warez release of Windows 7 - steer clear.

Thanks. That's why I couldn't find anything on MSoft's site on it.

If you search for "mondo blue" and "Microsoft" on google, you would have figured out it's warez by the other "mondo blue" Microsoft apps that are on torrent and warez sites . Microsoft only distributes time-limited trial copies of certain things (like Windows Server) on the open web that cannot be activated - everything else is only available from the VL licensing site, Technet subscription sites, or MSDN subscription sites. If it's a Microsoft trial, you'll find it on microsoft.com somewhere - if it's got a name like "mondo blue", even for Microsoft, that's not going to pass as a product name. Warning bells should start if it's got a Microsoft name and then an unknown name in the title.
