Canouna: You should talk to the news editors on here - they'll be more than happy to be in direct contact with a source for Win8 news, you get to share your findings with an even broader audience. As a result everybody wins.

@FaiKee: I can bet finalists will get the public Beta before the worldwide release.

LOL, then they can show the public beta before you can show it in WinUnleaked. :rofl: .

Edit: btw, I don't know where Long Zheng got the location restrictions, because that's what I saw in MS :

See the above one:

You are a developer - professional, hobbyist, or student - and you are a legal resident of the 50 United States and District of Columbia, France, Germany, Japan, or India, blablabla...

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
