And I don't think WMP12 would come in blue by default. It would be in black itself.

What's written after the version line in the screenshot?

Copyright- The ? wmp12 resource is created by ?(Wonder?) Hack.

? means unreadable :D

It's a fake I guess.

Course its fake, Try google not one link leads to any discussion of even suggesting at even the start of development on WMP12.
Besides, if MS did release a beta, dont you think our MVP's would've got the news ?

Yep. Its Genuinely fake. :D

Thats true that WMP 12 is under beta testing but you'll not find any leak atm. It'll have totally revamped interface not like given in the screenshot having upper portion of Windows Photo Viewer and lower portion of WMP 11.
