Microsoft Windows 7 Beta 1 which got leaked and cracked a few days ago, is being reported to corrupt some MP3 files when used via included Windows Media Player 12, users on forums are reporting data corruption issues because of this bug in Windows 7 beta 1 build 7000 while playing MP3 files using Windows Media Player 12, Approximately 2-3 seconds data will get cut-off from the beginning of MP3s as Windows Media Player 12 tries to retrieve meta-information from internet and write it to any MP3 file with a Meta data header larger than 16KB.

Hmm, leaked and cracked software woes...

This is why Microsoft intentionally leakes these Beta builds :

If it is intentional, shouldn't it be called something other than a leak?
Maybe, Beta testing?
I know that the last few OS they have released were not ready for release when they did so, especially with vista.
But to call it a "leak" when it's intentional is just silly.
