Re: Windows 8 fully previewed, available for download tonight !
Wish to try that soon. But not so excited.
Since, I have not even experienced Windows 7 completely. And W8 is largely based on Cloud services, which would be curse in India, because of pathetic speeds.
Re: Windows 8 fully previewed, available for download tonight !
Well I still beleive that Windows 8 is still too early to release after Win 7.
Vista felt a bit too late but this is way too early. I donot think this will sell like Windows 7.
Re: Windows 8 fully previewed, available for download tonight !
I also think, it's too early. But it is not going to be out for customers any time sooner.
This preview built is mainly for developers, which Microsoft has brought so that they can start making apps. And by the time, Windows 8 will be officially launched, the market would already flooded with apps.

I agree with the no of sales record...no issue with that 7 is the best client O/s Microsoft has ever produced, I am not against Windows, myself use Windows too (along with Linux & Mac) but 7 itself is not a thrilling platform to work with.
Ask any Mac or Linux users, they are more than happy - actualy they are excited wth the O/s whereas Windows users are happy now after getting 7.
I wish 8 could makes us excited.

You can install it in Virtual Box too.
Don't ask me. I am not excited much to download a pre-beta preview and waste precious time to test an incomplete OS.
But that just me.

Re: Windows 8 fully previewed, available for download tonight !
ahhh I typed a lot but it was lost due to confusion. I may need some time to get a hang of Win8. But I loved the way they replaced start menu with..ummm I think that is what called Metro
Desktop looks same as Win7
Directory structure is also similar except for the "ribbon" menus:
And yes, IE10 is indeed fast...
