    Maybe they indeed didn't want feedback. When you're trying to explain something or explaining your opinion you don't like people to interrupt you every second either. Maybe they wanted us to only give feedback on the finished product so we can have a full view of everything before crying about anything. During development they knew the only feedback would be negative, so why allow it?

    Do I need to sign in to online account after installing 8.1 preview. I am using kms solution with Enterprise version. Does KMS activation work with windows 8.1?

    Hmm, so is this 9431 Server build going around... pretty much the Blue Preview we'll be getting from Microsoft in like 24+ hours? The only difference being, this is a server OS?

    Good point, there is/was a whole lot of negative feedback for sure. IMO, no matter what MS does, there will always be complaints from some, praise from others, and a vast majority who could care less.

    They email you the key when you sign up to download with your Live or hot mail account.

    Will it require any key? I am asking because the Enterprise version did not require any key to install or activate. Does it require a Microsoft account after installation or I can use a local account? One more think does KMS activation work in the leak builds?
    Thanks in advance.

    All preview SKU's/architectures uses the same (win8)WRP key for install thru ISO and activate......and, why use leaked builds when you have a new legit preview? :D

    If you do want to use a local account, cut the web connection on installing, then you will have a choice to use a local account; note that if you install with a local account, Store won't work until you switch to a MS account.
