The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is now available worldwide

February 29, 2012

slow download. It’s going to be slow for a while as the whole planet tugs at the files but do yourself a favor and only download it from Microsoft links. Download the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I am pulling from those links and it’s slow as heck but I promise you that if you start looking for faster mirrors, you’ll end up with viruses and malware. Happy 29th! Way more to come.]]>

It’s asking me for a product key. Any ideas what that’s about?

  - Ahh thanks. I missed that 😛
    I got it working using the 5MB guide program. It gave me the key and I tried it in the ISO – worked fine.
