All this is only a well-thought-out public relations move on the part of Microsoft. The system is becoming popular before its official release. And we all sit here and update the forum, hoping to see a reference to the image of the beta. Anyway, while Microsoft does not give the go-ahead to the jump - it will not.
Could someone please show the new boot screen, if there is one already EDIT: Found this on Google the other day... Fake or real?
Ok I now understand it's a shame, this image should be an official wallpaper. No problem this site is great work.
Does anyone know if Microsoft have stopped adding the "uninstallers" for programs onto the start screen? They are annoying and in the way!
We are all waiting and hoping for a leak (ideally the final CP 8250 build) or for the official download on the 29th, but in the mean-time, we have screen shots of Chinese builds, build string this, build string that, talk of this or that coming build, web installer talk, questions about Betta fish wallpaper, and on and on. The same questions and talk over and over...
As much as I want to install a new build of Windows, particularly the consumer preview. I do respect those who have it and will not leak it to keep the trust of their friends. Can only imagine the headache it would be if you did leak it and betray your friends' trust.
Can someone clear some things up for me? What is this stuff the half of the thread is downloading right now? Is it Windows 8 CP for real? Or is it just CP installer with DP in it?
It's better to see nothing and wait official release... Now when all of us sees screenshots and vids now we are crying and screaming like childs and asking for a leak...
By the way, people, leave the web installer where it is. It actually download the Developer Preview and we don't know if will be able to download the Consumer Preview yet. If Microsoft close that channel of distribution you can really say GOODBYE to a leak of the Consumer Preview before official release. Now the choise is yours. When a leak will be possible you'll have it.
