    Well keep in mind that we all have to wait for the same time. And for us Dutch it's better to take a half day off from work to install CP, then put your alarmclock in the middle of the night

    Not the fact what download w8-CP we can on February, 29th. Public testing Visual Studio 11 and .Net Framework 4.5 starts on March, 1st. Probably, these events are interconnected.

    Beter wait than wake up in the middle of the night.. And when hollidays have a beer-party, get early to bed very drunk.. wake up in the afternoon... problem solved..

    OT: I'm using Firefox but when I watch a youtube movie and I switch to Fullscreen I got weird green things (like a coding-error in moviefiles) when retry, it works?
    Someone know the problem?

    I'm fairly happy at the download time for people in the UK, 2PM is great! Better than the usual 4AM download.

    I am right in thinking the download will be released 3PM Barcelona time right? If not, what is the time for the download in Barcelona time?

    I'm trying to understand where the problem is... and if I have to be honest, I can't understand... and yes, it is not a waste of time, but maybe we have just to wait 4 more days...
