    Believe it or not, that makes sense.

    Since the creation of the Ultimate SKU, what features have been exclusive to it since the original (Vista Ultimate)?

    Even with Windows 7, the features that it included did mostly migrate down to other SKUs (mostly as no-charge add-ons).

    The biggest difference was that Ultimate, unlike Enterprise, was not available under Software Assurance or for volume licensing.

    Could *that* in fact be why there is no Ultimate SKU in HP's list?

    HTML5 standard has no Streaming support yet.
    Flash Player will not work in Metro IE10 but on Desktop version.

    Flash payer isn't working on WDP Metro IE10... But plugins will probably be supported before RTM build will be out

    That is incorrect. They already stated that Metro IE10 will be a plugin-free experience.

    NO. PLUGINS. IN. METRO IE10. No Flash, no Silverlight, no s**tty toolbars too (yay!). If you need Flash, you'll have to switch to desktop UI (just one click away).

    Can't believe win8b1 is not on Technet, MSDN, or Connect yet. Its 9:30 p.m. CT on the 24th and nothing. It was suggested to be released today. Whats up with that.

    I guess they really are going to make us wait till the 29th, some sites say 9:AM ET WED MORN, so make sure your clock on computer is set to Eastern time zone and their time. or one of you could call Bill Gates, lol:eek:

    That's probably right. w8-CP will be unveiled at the Windows 8 Consumer Preview Event in Barcelona, Spain.

    29 february 2012, 15:00 until 17:00 Barcelona time



    People living in the USA can start downloading (early) in the morning. I unfortunately have to wait until at least 15:00. :(
