Title: Windows 8 - The Developer Preview - Available today 8PM PST Post by: Tanya on September 14, 2011, 11:24:41 AM Windows 8 - The Developer Preview - Available today 8PM PST
Microsoft announced at its Build Conference today that the Developer Preview bits will be available this evening at 8PM PST for everyone. Read below on how to download the iso.You probably want to try out the preview release—and you can. Starting later tonight you can download the Windows 8 Developer Preview. This includes a 64-bit (x64) build with development tools to build apps, and a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) build without development tools. The releases also include a suite of sample applications (please note these are merely illustrations of potential apps, not apps that we intend to ship with Windows 8). The ISOs are linked to from http://dev.windows.com.Upgrade from Windows 7 installation is not supported for pre-release code; only clean installs are supported. Reminder: this is a developer preview release and is not meant for production. It is not a beta release. We will be updating the release with various quality updates and drivers over the coming weeks/months just to exercise our overall update and telemetry mechanisms.Full Story At Source Send via e-mail | Submit to Digg | Add to Live Favorites http://feeds.bink.nu/~r/binkdotnu/~3/GHDZxjHDcEI/windows-8-the-developer-preview-available-today-8pm-pst.aspx |
