4067's shot is fake.
Icon labels, fonts, navigation buttons, GNCAddict's frames, and the animated preview pane aurora never extended into the menu bar but rather used a fading gradient overlay on top of the aurora making it fade into the menu bars which were solid.

Ah, the good old days of Longhorn.
When one would create or make a fake of a LH Screenshot, people actually put the effort in making it look great, sometimes the way you could tell if it was a fake was when it was too good.
Thankyou 'Drew, it was good looking at these again, been a long long while.

How can we ever tell what real or fake is anymore?
Consistency is the best way. Logical progression would be the next best (as in something being completely different in that one specific "build" and never seen right before that specific build and never afterwards).
For example I keep pointing out 4067.
• The desktop icons labels don't have drop shadows like that. • The fonts are incorrect and uses a different font rendering (looks like photoshop's). • Icon and label misalignment. • Explorer's fonts are incorrect as is the text glow on them. Again looks like photoshop's font rendering. • The animated preview pane aurora in explorer was never in the menu bar either but instead faded out into a solid color menu bar (you can see this in Jade). • The navigation buttons have been overlayed twice giving them a more deeper look. • The taskbar uses an image that was only found in a concept but never in an actual build. • The toasts in those builds used a small 16x16 icon rather than 32x32 and the font rendering there again is photoshop's. • The sidebar isn't the one found in any of those builds and the WMP tile is that from Karl's Sidebar. • And I could be wrong but I don't think there was ever a lab01_fusion lab either not to mention the date is a month off 4066/4067 (LDDM Demo).
There's just too many inconsistencies to even believe that build is real. As for the others, they don't really have anything specific to make it obvious that they're fake if they even are.
