Apparently the download is suppose to be live around 2PM UTC / 9AM EST.
I imagine this is just speculation but for anyone wanting to try it there's some time you can use.
Also I'll be redoing the OP, anyone have any good ideas on how to make it not look like shit as it is now?
Remove screenshot and excessive download links.
Words before colon in list of features would look better in bold.

Let Jimmy 422 make it? Or collaborate on it?

Yeah, the only links we need are for current builds, old builds are useless here.

Then use something like PS6 as opposed to bitching how it won't run on a netbook which was never ever designed for it.
Netbooks were never ment for media creation and don't support the hardware for it.
As to Aero being modern - it manages to both be modern and tacky. Metro also looks modern. In a way more modern than Aero.
Tomorrow's the day! My body is ready!
Can't wait to download the beta!

How exactly do you install the dev preview? I'm getting ready to move to beta so I can use it as my main OS.

If you're planning on moving to the beta, then what do you mean by install the dev preview?

urgh, I meant UNinstall. That's what I get for trying to run on 3 hours sleep.
How long until release?
I go to college in 12 hours and they block ISO downloads :(

Format or just install the Beta over it and run disk cleanup afterwards and select previous installations of windows.
So how long will the beta license last? Wondering if I can use it as my main OS for an extended period of time.

I would've said 6 months which is what it's been for years, however since the Dev Prev has been extended to 16 months it's hard to tell what they'll do with the Beta.
Can't wait. Keep us informed if links go live. when you said around 2PM UTC / 9AM EST.
Did you mean today, the 28th?

[QUOTE=Panda X;34497526]Then why bother posting in a thread for it?[/QUOTE]
Maybe he didn't know what it would look like, so he wanted to check it out, and then stated his opinion. Which is personally my opinion as well. The colors are boring, dull, faded, and depressing. So are the shapes and the new logo. I personally want something kinda futuristic and exciting, this is the complete opposite. Do you know if I can change these colors, and customize it to conform to my preferences?
I'll work on a new OP if I get some free time tonight.

Yes you can change the colors.
[QUOTE=Panda X;34915834]Yes you can change the colors.[/QUOTE]
And you can choose from 8 background styles.

Or perhaps more, in future, once we get these hacks running.
Can't wait to come home and see the Microsoft site is down.
9am EST tomorrow?
CAN'T WAIT
Surprised it hasn't leaked a day early. Fucking lame. :/
Well, I'd assume Microsoft is being pretty tight on this one. They want to be the ones introducing it, not one of their rogue employees.
I'm guessing they want to make a splash. Let's hope they make that splash.

Oh yeah so lame that a preview copy of an operating system wasn't leaked a [B]whole day[/B] early. Totally worth risking a job over right guys?
Holy shit you are an impatient fuck.

People get fired for shit like this. Ballmer is probably in the 8 area right this fucking second watching them all like a hawk (he is known to do this)
