The Windows 8 Thread

[paradisiac]

IIRC that was for "windows 9" or whatever the next version is called. Don't quote me on that.

ok kool. the site i will be getting my version of consumer preview, only lists 32 bit version of win8 home basic, for all versions from home premium up they only list 64 and 128 bit versions.

 

[paradisiac]

Can you send me it via trust please?

Perhaps i was wrong. I'm not 100% on it. Just need one of those 128it CPUs. this 104TB RAM limit is doing my head in.

How should we phrase such a sensitive question to our friend?

'windows 8 consumer preview download' would be a start

Many do though I cant imagine why, we have had 64bit CPUs for the last 1000 years

other than increased ram possabilties, what benefit does 128bit OS have?

i would estimate 4-6month depending on if a release candidate comes out or not.

nope. the developer preview won't expire until january next year so the CP will have to run until at least then.

It is confirmed that there is no live Stream Go figure, I would have thought this would be prime for a live stream. MS up their own butt holes again?

I have to say, I am disappointed we still have the "Start Menu", I thought Windows 7 was the end of that. If Metro is their answer then my word are we in trouble.
