you get 8Mbit via 3G :o

we dont even have 3G here :(

i have a 2mb cable.

What? I thought 3G was one of the areas where Pakistan was much ahead than India. Nevermind, I have 4 mbps ADSL connection and 3.6 mbps 3G connection for backup.

It would be up at 19:30 IST can't wait! But going out for food then will keep it downloading overnight. Should not take more than 4-5 hrs if servers can handle all the load.

really?? We dont have 3G here. And on TV all ads i see are 3G in india. :p

although yes 2G here is inexpensive. But it hardly does the job. Its too slow.

And well its gonna take me 4 hours on my connection. If you have a 4mb connection it will take you around 2hours.... for 3.6GB ISO

The WDP announcement said "The download will be available later this evening" :D

o no man :(

ive been watching conan to pass time and ... :( i had my whole day planned for this. Ill have to download it tommorrow if it releases later the evening in Redmond.

It'll be funny if it comes to the time and nothing happens. No announcement or anything.

Now that's the kind of thing that could make windows 8 go far.

Make everyone want it even more!

if they push the download to later this evening I would be really sad :'(

I was actually really excited that they were having it in Spain so I could start the download at 6 AM and then by the time I get home it would be waiting...like a present :D

55 minutes :D
