That’s very interesting considering Build 7004 is older than the current Public Beta which is Build 7000. I’m sorry but you have been tricked into believing crap. Screensshot’s of Builds 7015 and 7016 have already been leaked and if you had been listening at PDC Microsoft cleary said that there would be a Windows 7 Beta followed by a Release Candidate then RTM. If you’ve ever used a Build of Windows 7 then it’s very clear to see that the screenshot you’ve been given is 100% fake. Oh dear…

Actually, I received my ‘Welcome to the Windows 7 “Special” Beta Opportunity’ the evening of January 7th, still downloading because my computer went to sleep while I was at work and didn’t finish the download, so I don’t know what build it is yet. But the e-mail tells me it is Home Premium with Windows Anytime Upgrade to Ultimate (naturally they want the upgrade beta-tested). I can’t tell you anything more because there is a non-disclosure agreement in place. But yes, the closed beta of Home Premium and Ultimate is assuredly in progress.

Unfortunately, your source on Deviant Art is full of it. No one on the private (’Closed’) beta has received a build, and Beta 1 has not been released to testers yet. As such, there’s currently nothing official as to whether or not there will be a second beta build, let alone what build number it is and/or when it will be released.

[...] later than the speculated beta build of 7000, which is on December 12, 2008, and is said to be Windows 7 Beta2. It’s also hard to believe Microsoft decides to choose a older build as an beta, even though [...]
