Actually no, there is not the correct pc out there for me, this is the biggest problem.

It shouldn't matter, it seems a lot is riding on 8.1 for future success of Windows 8, people are eager to get their hands on this beta.

I'm not sure the availability or not of the beta will have a profound effect on the market acceptance or longevity of Windows 8.

Have some patience

Ha, I just want the ISO's out so I can install me Maximus VI Hero as it'll kill this license anyway.

It wasn't in response to you. Hence I didnt quote you.

It was n response to the guy presenting at the build confrence.

Agh fair enough

I thought exactly the same thing, although that Samsung laptop looked pretty nice.

Glaucus · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:21

that's it, no announcement on new hardware

And nothing we haven't seen leaked.

What happened to all the stuff about wp8 and a few other things bullmer said would be here. Or will that be tomorrow's keynote.

No smaller Surface

You are blowing things out of all proportion, a few geeks will run the preview which is nothing compared to the actual number of windows users out there.

Your windows 8 posts are almost sensationalist.

I'm trying to install the US language pack, not sure it will work but its the only thing I can think of.

Trig · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:25

Got the RT file, try to install it and it says not applicable

And I think you're playing it down too much.
a lot of people/nerds or whatever are waiting on 8.1 before they make the leap.

There's a buzz about 8.1, whether or not you want to downplay that or not, they've taken a crap ton of flack for Windows 8.

I use Windows 8 on every computer, have a Surface RT too.

nightmare99 · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:27

Well installing and switching to ENG US did not work.

theheyes · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:29

If you have a language pack installed, hold off on updating to the preview. There is a bug apparently.

Martini1991 · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:30

Download the file now.
The extension for me has just changed to ARM.msu

EDIT : IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!

zoomee · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:41

Tried on both my laptop and desktop PC's and getting error too

Got two sammy tablets at work so will be trying them tommorow - darn it I knew I forgot somat when I didn't bring em home with me today

EDDS · 26 Jun 2013 at 18:41

Well this is lame.

Doubt there's much we can do till msft fix the issue.
