    Oh well. They arent going to share though someone was nice enough to share with them. Try to give excuses that they dont want to betray friends to it will be tracked back to them and other nonsense. Bottom line is they dont want to share because some people just like to keep things for themselves. Tell other people that they are just beggers. Sorry but that installer didnt just fall from the sky to your lap. You asked others for it and received it.

    My last comment on it. I hope whatever they are trying or hoping for to happen to get it early never happens for them. I hope they end up having to wait like the rest of us.

    I do hope there will be a leak before the 29th. I can wait 4 days but if I had the option of getting it early, there is no way I would turn that down.

    I can promise you that it isn't going to get leaked before the 29th. Microsoft has severely cracked down on leaks! The Windows team is not what it once was (under Jim Allchin)! Relax! It will go by fast if you occupy your mind with something else and the wait will be worth it! We all have to wait for Microsoft to be ready to release it just like you have to (with the exception of close Microsoft partners that are testing it so it will be stable for us)!

    Well I will be clear this time :

    THE INSTALLER IS USELESS AND IT DOES NOT DOWNLOAD WCP, FOR THE MOMENT IT GIVES AN ERROR. AND EVEN BEFORE IT GAVE AN ERROR, IT WAS DOWNLOADING WDP.

    Go to the Connect site, sign up to be a beta tester, sit back and wait to see what program you get invited to, THIS is how I got what I have. And yes, I have to wait until the 29th like the rest of you. I repeat, those of you asking for something you haven't earned are childish - deal with it!

    I have to say, you are right on that one. They have done extremely well this time around regarding leaks. I must say, Im impressed. I wish they werent so diligent this time, lol, but I cant argue with the job theyve done.

    Let's hope they put even more effort into really improving upon the the WDP with the WCP coming next week. I was rather meh towards the WDP so I am hoping they made some great improvements for this new release and I hope they take all great inputs off of it and further improve upon it for the RTM later this year.

    Cool, now everyone knows you are a child.

    You should probably remove that "r" from your username btw, you're spelling it wrong.

    If anyone wants the Developer Preview webinstaller which is completely useless, you can PM me... Don't see why you want it, so I might as well satisfy you... I don't have the CP one.

    Actually CP webinstaller is even more useless than this one, because it gives an error very quickly.

    Surely server version will be distributed. Maybe MSDN only like for WDP. :)

    Actually there isn't, but don't worry, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you to post it, it's pointless. I don't even want the web installer anyways, ISO's are much more effective :D

    Chris, the digital signature is unique to each executable. So there is kind of tracker.
