    hey guys when is the Win8 proper release gonna be availible?

    I like everything to do with Win7 so far, cant really fault it, except the 64bit edition, not enough software out there thats compatible with it, most is done for 32bit ver.

    More then 99% of 32bit software works fine with x64 windows, and the programs that don't probably have a x64 version. Only very old 32bit software may not work and of course 16bit programs.

    A question regarding the Server Manager UI, if you can answer. Will explorer and the desktop UI share this look? I'm really hoping they're going to replace the legacy Aero look. As we could see in early m3 builds (7989 for example) they changed the close/minimize/maximize buttons and scroll bars to a metro-ish style, but in later builds they seem to have gone back to Aero-like buttons, just more square.

    Developer Previews are always partially locked. Windows 7 CTP (6801) had the superbar hidden by default. Longhorn 4074 had the Jade theme hidden by default.
