Microsoft Delivers Windows 8 Release Preview

Windows 8

Last Friday Microsoft delivered the Windows 8 Release Preview and made it available for download in 14 languages.

According to Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky "This is our final pre-release, and includes Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10, new Windows 8 apps for connecting to Hotmail, SkyDrive, and Messenger (and many more), and hundreds of new and updated apps in the Windows Store."

If you want to try it out, I suggest you have a look at the Windows 8 Release Preview Frequently Asked Questions which include system requirements and other useful information.

You can install the preview from the Microsoft Windows 8 page or can download an ISO image.

If you want to take a look but don't want to replace your current OS, I suggest installing Windows 8 in a virtual machine.
