Don’t Download Leaked Windows 7 Builds from Torrent Sites

We all know Windows 7 builds are leaking too fast. Everyone is downloading the leaked builds using torrents and putting himself on risk. No, really. "Marius Oiaga" @ Softpedia mentions that Microsoft has requested users to not download these frequently leaking Windows 7 builds.
"Tudor Galos" (Windows Business Group Lead at Microsoft Romania) says:

If there's a thing that we absolutely do not recommend to end users, it's that they should download interim builds of Windows 7 from torrent trackers. All such releases put end users at risk because there's no telling how the source of the leaked builds tampered with the bits.
Microsoft’s official channels should be considered as the sole source of Windows 7 development milestones. Why? Because many leaked releases can be affected by hackers. Windows 7 interim images could be reversed engineered, with the resulting image being made available on BitTorrent websites.
Leaked interim builds of Windows 7 could very well contain malicious software that could put end users' machines and sensitive data at risk.
End users should not play around with leaked Windows 7 builds, because they are not official, supported releases. It's best that they use only Microsoft’s website to download Windows 7 bits, accessing builds that come with certain guarantees, and with recommendations, security guidelines, deployment and usage guidelines, and that allow for feedback to be sent to Microsoft.

So guys, its better to stay away from these super fast leaking builds and wait for the official RC build which is coming very soon to public.
