remove wat? :v: [editline]29th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Techbot;34926437][img]http://i.imgur.com/ySDYa.png[/img] damn[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://puu.sh/iS8l[/IMG] sameboat. Killing dropbox and a couple other things. Gotta download fast and shitty connection 2 slow.
Downloading at around 10 MB/s, not bad. Estimated time 3 minutes :v:
[QUOTE=P320;34926420][b]Does anyone know if RemoveWAT will work with the beta?[/b] (It hosed my DP installation trying to use it this morning, but I don't care since I have to install the beta today anyways. :v:)[/QUOTE] Why?
Wow, seems like MS partnered with many devs, Kindle app now Wordpress app.
I think Metro is just popular
[QUOTE=barttool;34926492]Wow, seems like MS partnered with many devs, Kindle app now Wordpress app.[/QUOTE] I imagine that despite the fact not everyone who'll get 8 will be using apps that it'll still have a pretty decent collection of apps.
Listening to XP's tour & welcome music while downloading and following the live blog. Hell yeah!

Feels good to be the network Administrator and responsible for our firewalls, so nobody can check, that i'm downloading every fucking windows version right now.
Poor julie and her awkward lecturing skills
Huzzah, finished downloading. See you in 15.
"Also, we're sitting here watching a copy dialog." Sounds awesome.
that skydrive app looks sweet
Can someone get me a MD5 Hash of the file once they have it downloaded? I want to make sure that this ISO is 100% good before I burn it to a DVD-R.
[QUOTE=barttool;34926599]that skydrive app looks sweet[/QUOTE] yes. [img]http://puu.sh/iScM[/img]
I've got mine installing in a VM for the time being. If it's all good I'll probably install it dual-booting with Windows 7.
Still 4 hours to go :( [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/fuckmyinternetconnection.PNG[/IMG]

And it doesn't, so you can ignore this hash I guess :v:
No stomach, I don't want to be on the toilet, I want to watch this shit right now. Understand my frustration.

This live webcast from The Verge is awesome. The Verge = Best tech site right now!

26 Minutes remaining for me.

Any performance improvements on W8?
[QUOTE=kaukassus;34926740]its the beta fish :v:[/QUOTE] They should keep it for the release. It's way better than the Windows...window.

[QUOTE=EliteGuy;34926758]Any performance improvements on W8?[/QUOTE] Yes it's much quicker and uses less memory.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;34926758]Any performance improvements on W8?[/QUOTE] I think that's like, the biggest selling point for me. Apparently uses half the RAM Win7 uses. Boots up in few seconds
Microsoft used a betta fish in the Windows 8 Beta? "LIKE IT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN FUCKING DONE BEFORE!"
Wow that was a quicker install than I thought it'd be. It installed those shitty AMD drivers so now going anywhere near the screen it lags for a while. Did the same in the dev preview.
