Following the leaks of the Chinese version, Microsoft officially made Windows 8 Release Preview available to download on 31st May 2012. This is the final version of development of Windows 8 before the RTM (Release To Manufacturing). Windows 8 Release Preview was the much awaited version of Windows 8 after the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
It was made to launch in the first week of June. But due to a lot of leaks Microsoft preponed the launch.
There were a lot of bugs in the consumer preview which are resolved in the release preview and you'll notice the refinements as soon as you login for the first time. The Start screen now has a lot more choices of colour combinations and new Family Safety Features.
You'll find many new apps pre-installed like the Bing Powered Travel, News & Sports app. The best part is they all have the Indian Version of it with the latest Indian feed.
The weather app is now available for India and works well with your current location.
The Internet Explorer 10 now has fully integrated secure and power-optimized Adobe Flash Player. It is also the first browser to have a "Do not track" feature which is enabled by default.
The Mail app is also better customized now and is now easy to use when multiple accounts are used.
All the new improvements has helped Windows 8 look better and faster. It is more efficient and more improvements will be seen as we progress ahead and more and more updates come in.
You can download your copy of The Windows 8 Release Preview from the following link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/release-preview
If you are installing from an installations media by downloading the ISO file, you'll need to enter a product key which is common to all. It is TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF.
For PC already running a genuine Windows, I'll recommend them to dual boot their system with the Windows 8 as it is still not the final Windows and is in the development stage so expect a lot more bugs and crashes. By dual booting I mean keeping your previous windows along the with the windows 8 release preview. You can do that my choosing a "custom" instead of "upgrade" option while installing and choosing a different partition to install the windows 8 release preview.
It is highly recommended for dual boot users to download the ISO file from the link given above and make a bootable media (DVD or USB) from this ISO image file and then boot from it to install.
For the people who are seeing the Windows 8 for the first time and the mac users who don't know about it, I recommend try this and you'll be blown away by the next generation Windows operating system...............
