How to upgrade Win7 to Win8 beta? If I lanuch setup on Windows 7 running: 1. does installation need reboot PC to continue upgrade (and Win7 won't lanuch anymore)? or 2. Win7 will shutdown, PC will reboot and Win8 wil be ready for use? I don't know do I need decrypt my Win7 partition (2nd part of upgrade always needed this)
I'm thinking exactly the same, thought they would improve some things along the way, but apparently not. ;'(
Exactly, I thought that desktop UI wasnt included in dp, but canouna and w8 blog showed us only metro ui changes, so my fear is that desktop is left out... Im still hoping for some kind of unification of UI will be shown in beta. When you read all those blog bits in B8 you see how much thought and research they've put in Metro, you cant help but wonder how they can let that "jarring" Metro/Desktop transition happen. Lets hope I'm wrong! Three more days...
The latest public release is 8102 Windows developer preview. The later ones are owned by people who have access to Microsoft Employees, Partners or other means that have the builds and have privately shared them. There haven't been any leaked builds after 8102 and i don't think there ever will be, best to wait until February for Beta.
