    It seems a bit brutal passage from win7 to win8 visual aspect. A user familiar with the appearance and use of win7 is definitely put in difficulty to find common programs and settings. Not seem right to do something like this in changing from one operating system to another!

    You have more patience than I do. If I had the access you do, I wouldve downloaded it. I mean why not? If you could have it before the 29th, why the heck not d/l it?

    LOL That would be the ONLY reason I wouldnt download now if I could. If my d/l was THAT slow, I guess I would wait. But yeah, that would be the only thing to keep me from getting it now if I could like he says he could.

    Please don't laugh at this matter. It hits straight to my heart talking about speed. Downloaded wdp waiting 2 days at 26kb/s average :wallbash: . So it's a joke which is true for our country. (best speed 1mbit or 128kb/s and which is a dream)

    Just wait for the CP, change wont be so big. If they can't understand the new 'Start menu' then they should pin their fav programs on the taskbar and fill the desktop with links.

    What I can download now is not the same build which will be released on 29th. So I will have to download the newer build 8250 again.

    LOL, that's true.

    Download speed is not the only reason for me.

    So a friend offered you a Beta build and you said no, partially because of your d/l speed and partially because it wasnt exactly the official one for release on 29th? I dunno, even if its not the official WCP, its close enough. I wouldve taken it in a heart beat. Especially since ill be traveling for work probably all this coming week so chances are I wont get to try it until the following week. Which was why I was really hoping for a leak even if it was just several days before 29th.

    I really hope I don't have to download a larger iso with the dev tools included. I'd rather download the dev tools seperately (If the CP comes with dev tools at all)
