    He also said so himself, it is FBL_EEAP, I hope it doesn't leak. If it does, they will stop distributing Windows 8 pre-release builds to OEMs which is something we don't want.

    Who cares if 8049 leaks or not? We'll all have a build to play with next week, until then, relax.

    The event that BUILD replaced, Microsoft handed out a Preview in a VHD, on a HDD of Windows 7.

    Also this event is really pointless if they don't hand out a W8 Build, Developers also should get access to the next Visual Studio on that event, so they can start Developing and testing.

    Note: you can't Develop nor test without the tools or W8 itself, but BUILD event is all about Developing.

    I agree with your post. This is nothing new from MS's behavior from past build/ beta cycles. :biggrin:

    Jeez, that was seriously fast! But then again, that's booting to immersive, not the full desktop... wonder if that makes a difference?

    1. All we know it it's one with an SSD.
    2. That's not the loading screen, it's the lockscreen which I persume will appear after a certain amount of unactivity/like the lock screen just goes to the user accounts in Windows 7.
    3. It's the same Immersive UI shown off, but it means we can arange the tiles however we like. I doubt a out of box first installation of Windows 8 will look like what we saw. You have to customize it yourself (I bet OEMS will modify it though).
