Business Insider is reporting Microsoft confirmed Media Center is out of Windows 8.

Quote

Microsoft has just confirmed that Windows 8 will not ship with the Media Center interface that has been integrated into the last two versions of Windows.
Instead, users will have to buy it as part of an upgrade. Pricing hasn't been announced.
Media Center was designed for using a PC with a remote control to do things like watch and record TV and play DVDs and music.
It was originally introduced in a special edition of Windows XP but later found its way into premium consumer editions ofWindows Vista and Windows 7.

Well that changes everything!

A bigger picture

Some weird things : No win keys , no Front facing camera , no nokia logo. Probably its edited , maybe hiding the new windows logo

Is it just me or does the whole picture look off in relation to the device? Look at how the keyboard lines up with how he's holding the phone, it looks off to me.

Looks fake (but I hope it's not).

That's a big jump, from 837x all the way to 8411, wonder what they sneaked in that we haven't seen yet?

8411 is from winmain branch, because winmain_rc branch reserved the numbers, actually you can see 8411 was compiled on May 2, earlier than 8376 on May 6 (a Sunday, LOL.)

They look/work nicely, could do with some slight adjustments though.

Some new looks for build 8375

And not a co-incidence; there are 8 leaves on the new lock screen.

Brad said in his blog about "small changes" in build 8375; but I guess the big change was something that couldn't be shown on pics.

This is from Mr. Sun of China Telecom(he posted the Connect download pic of 8370) in Chnese Micro-blog dated May 7.

Confirmed 8370 does not support developing or testing Metro style apps. May 8 MS will release Consumer Preview Update 2(CPU2) build, tools and assetsenabling Metro apps development.

Maybe that was why MS named it as CPU2 while it's still the RC Escrow on MS Corpnet. .
