That's how I want my start screen to look like It is a very unprofessional screen (made it with paint) but i think you might get the idea. Can't wait for beta already
Windows gets RTM'ed at least 3 months before actual start of sales. Windows 7 RTM build was compiled on July 14th [and leaked within a week], whilst public sales of the very same build started only in the end of October. Current plans suggest RTM in late summer [means August-September]. RC is scheduled for late spring [May-June]. They also have a new opportunity this time - most of new apps were moved into Store, so they may be developed not in sync with main OS schedule. BTW: Soft-Forum/WZor is up and running again
Hello MDLers my first post here having some news(MDL novice so, no links available for me), but according the verge: "A source familiar with Microsoft's plans has revealed a list of games that will be available in the preview version of Windows Store (refering to Consumer Preview):" Hydro Thunder Toy Soldiers Reckless Racing Angry Birds Ilomilo Rocket Riot Full House Poker Tentacles Crash Course Ms Splosion Man Wordament PLease confirm canouna.
The theme here in this pic, is a bit different than the Windows 8 theme, isn't it? Is it new or was it before? I think it's new as this theme has never appeared in any previously leaked builds nor in the Developer Preview. hxxp://static.arstechnica.net/2012/02/07/explorer-8-4f316ea-intro.png EDIT: Look at the close button.
So if you have final beta/CP iso you can leak without any consequences. Waiting 2 weeks for official release isn't necessary.
This screenshot was taken from the b8 blog post in june 2011! So its an old screenshot and a old build!
