Oh, please. Don't pretend it's any different on iOS. Aside from games few people actually buy apps on iOS and even among games free games dominate

It's fun to make up facts.

Apparently the x64 iso is out. I guess I'll give it another try.

None of those links work, the ISO has yet to be released.

Downloading now.

The file name is 8400.0.WINMAIN_WIN8RC.120518-1423_X64FRE_SERVER_EN-US-HRC_SSS_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.ISO so hopefully that's the correct version.

None of those links work, the ISO has yet to be released.

Near the very top of the page.

"Windows 8 X64 EN-US.ISO
BUILD STRING -8400.0.WINMAIN_WIN8RC.120518-1423_X64FRE_SERVER_EN-US-HRC_SSS_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.ISO

Yeah I was about to start the download and then I read "server".

If you have a working installation, supposedly Windows to Go will be available. That will allow you to create a USB session on any computer.

I only have Ubuntu on my computer, but I wanted to test out W8 just to see how it's coming along.

The French website changed its home page, but the links are not up as they still link to the Consumer Preview.

If one of your friends installs the RC, you could request him/her to make a Windows to Go drive.

from the the verge article

Microsoft and Adobe worked together to build a stripped-down version of Flash for IE10, which adds some features (like video playback) while skipping over the pieces that typically cause performance and battery life problems.

The company's also working with Synaptics and other companies on creating software drivers that add some of the Windows 8 gestures to a laptop's trackpad, so that if you swipe from the right on your trackpad it'll still bring up the Charms menu.

Awesome, Downloading now. Hope the speed holds up!

 

[ksdixon]

When someone has it, please try installing ClassicShell's Start Menu. My fiance 'will not' upgrade to Win8 without some kind of Start Menu functionality, and CS's Start Menu is what she most perfers.

 

[Bullza2o]

Oh so I was downloading the wrong one. Good thing the real one came out now!

I'm thinking about partitioning my HDD for Windows 8, but I've never done it before...

I used the Windows 7 partitioner and shrunk my C drive, then allocated that free space for Windows 8 install.

 

[Cartman86]

I would be insane to download this and assume Steam, Chrome etc would work the same way they do on my 7 install wouldn't I? I just fucking love new stuff and am feeling the itch.

Integration with Zune pass? Awesome.

 

[Cartman86]

Is that upgrade assistant going to download the x64 version for me?

EDIT: FAQ suggests it does. It better.
