Microsoft warned that testers of Windows 7 could come across data-corruption issues on various machines including computers from Lenovo and HP. The problem was associated with the Beta Build 7000 of Windows 7, but said nothing about any superseding development milestones such as Windows 7 Build 7048, 7057 or recently leaked Build 7068.

According to the software giant at fault are the Offline Files service and the Client-Side Caching (CSC) driver, which fail to play nice together. Users running Windows 7 on Lenovo T60p, on Lenovo T61p, and on HP portable machines are at risk of having their data corrupted.

Both the 32-bit and the 64-bit variants of Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 were affected. Microsoft is currently offering a hotfix designed to resolve the issue.

Isn't it an old news? I remember a thread about Win7 beta corrupting the MP3 files.

It seems to be old.
