TW.4T Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi, Ive been playing around with the DP of Win8 over the weekend, and although it is nice to see something different I was wondering what the latest leaked build is? Im interested to see how it is progresing and what bugs/features have been fixed/added. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We'll probably just have to wait for the beta, coming next month. Jub 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaAddict Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi, Ive been playing around with the DP of Win8 over the weekend, and although it is nice to see something different I was wondering what the latest leaked build is? Im interested to see how it is progresing and what bugs/features have been fixed/added. Many Thanks MS has been enforcing its NDA a lot more strictly this time, even fired a couple of employees that leaked an early pre-alpha build last year. Doubt anyone will take the chance again after that incident and jeopardize their status in the development. The only releases we are going to get our hands on is the official ones.

PsYcHoKiLLa Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 There's some kind of leak doing the rounds today... Scene group *** released Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of the very latest operating system Microsoft Windows 8. This is beyond my own expectations as it?s sooner than I personally expected. Still, I highly recommend everyone to test this first in a VIRTUAL environment before applying it to your WORKING/LIVE environment. I warned you, enjoy!Description: Windows 8 is the codename for the next version of the Microsoft Windows computer operating system following Windows 7. It has many changes from previous versions. In particular it adds support for ARM microprocessors in addition to the previously supported x86 microprocessors from Intel and AMD. A new Metro-style interface has been added that was designed for touchscreen input in addition to mouse keyboard, and pen input. Of course I'm not gonna post a link, don't want a ban :) Don't see how it can be an RC since the beta hasn't even been released but from all reports, it's the same WP build but you can update it to the most recent which they claim is RC1.

fusi0n Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.RC1.ISO-LZ0 hmmm.. most likely fake.. but they said they where doing away with betas so this could be the "customer preview" and they are just calling it RC1 and made public to everyone.

PsYcHoKiLLa Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 "FAKE CONFIRMED" Uhmmm...How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Currently installing, shows Windows 8 Dev Preview though all the install parts. Using VirtualBox ISO shows all files modified 8/31/2011 so not sure what is so special about this.. 37% through install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusi0n Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 "FAKE CONFIRMED" Uhmmm...How? Just like this genius.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So.. install is done.. it looks like the dev previews, currently installing all the windows updates... edit, I picked bad settings with first install (virtual box) doing a fresh install for better response.

fusi0n Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So.. install is done.. it looks like the dev previews, currently installing all the windows updates. Have a great feeling the is a huge hoax.. lol thanks firey for being the tester lol reminds me of the old Pokemon hoax people would put out in the internet.. go here and go back and fourth for 2 hours and you'll find a hidden Pokemon.. lol also, why would they make you install a old copy and use windows update to upgrade to a newer build? Unless they are changing the way betas are being done which is possible.. this could be some build from an internal tester that has a special switch somewhere turned on.. Again, this all seems highly unlikely.. EDIT: Someone on another forum says this works. Could be troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 well my re-install isn't playing nice, will update when I make progress.. Doing updates now. First set of updates installed.. have to restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin McGregor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If the nfo is true why cant someone running the dev build just run windows update and have RC. Why would you have to download a pirated version of the dev copy to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you have to download a pirated version of the dev copy to do it? this could be a special build only used for internals. will update it a second.

firey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm not sure why, but it's really not playing well with VirtualBox, I have a hell of a time getting it to boot, and then times where it will boot, but stop doing anything as it is loading. Well, as far as I can tell..I am still in the dev preview, it's still same build and is M3, the only change is the build date string. The build string says 110912. I have 3 updates for defender that refuse to work, says they are installed, but they never go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
