Windows 8 on a laptop in-depth preview
Published: Friday, September 16, 2011 | Posted By: Dean
Many of you might have known that a developers build of Windows 8 has been released to the general public already. Heres a great preview of what's inside.
Less than 24 hours after it went live on Microsoft's site, Steve Ballmer reported a whopping 500,000 downloads of Windows 8 Developer Preview. That's half a million copies, if not eager Windows fans. Well, you can count us among them. Although we were treated to some private hands-on time with a tablet optimized for the OS, we hadn't, until now, had a chance to use it on a laptop -- i.e., the computing environment where we spend most of our time, and the one where we're most used to seeing Windows, in particular.
If you don't have time yourself to install, this preview will tide you over just fine. Very in depth and informative.
If you want to grab it yourself and give it a go, you can do so from here.
