Adobe Flash player is included in the Release Preview, Adobe shared the "source code" with Microsoft. Apparently from some sources, Internet Explorer Immersive will coming with flash too, wait and see.

Here a shot of the control panel post-install, build is 100% stock:

A good beginning... let's see if Microsoft going to include it to IE Immersive for the RTM.

That's interesting ! One the screenie is the sexiest windows theme i have seen ever , two Adobe seeing uncertain future shared its source ??? That means it might become open source if things don't go too well in future ? This will , btw , make WinRT >>> iPad/Android!

BTW Flash for Metro IE is NOT there in WRP , but PROBABLY will come in RTM.

Quick comparison :

*Aero removal in progress

*Softer / less distracting

*Sexy. :ninja:

Edit : More Screenies ,. man canouna thinks we don't really need to see them :/

Here the result when I try to install Adobe Flash:

This worked on pre-RC build.

Also, here a view from the advaced tab of the pre-installed Adobe Flash from 8400:

no darns as usual. I wonder if this might drag me to depression , it's not even midnight :(

Wallpapers in RP ... Man Win7 had better collection!

about my previous post , great when i post no one gives a darn , but later on it comes to main page :-/

They'll keep adding more till RTM, no biggy. Regardless, I like the theme they have in the RP looking at that shot.

Loving the new UI in these leaks, by the way. Can't wait to see it finished with new icons and glass gone.

Things like icons, wallpapers, sounds etc will surely be some of the last things to be finished. I won't worry about it, let's wait till RTM time.

So, if everyone's posting screenshots of RP, which supposedly was compiled already, and uses an universal key like CP, why hasn't it been leaked yet?

Oh yeah, I forgot, because if it was, these blogs couldn't post more ****ty articles with single screenshots to attract views to their ad ridden sites.

Still , Wni7RC had those regional packs

And you can still use them in 8 - in fact, my favorite wallpaper package is the SpaceScapes wallpaper pack that premiered with 7.

Coz a leak now doesn't make sense :)

Why not? I'm developing for Windows 8, I'd like to know about breaking changes and new APIs the earliest moment possible, especially because the Win Store launches the same day apparently. If the build's ready for god knows how long, I'd like hands on. The delay right now is to line it up with another marketing exercise.

Now that this idiot is actually posting keys, I can safely assume that they're not tied to an entity in fear of losing his job. Why aren't the ISOs leaked yet?!

the keys are never tied to anything for the betas/RCs. and for your second question, no one probably sees any use to leak it as it's going to be officially released in a few days anyway

We'll see. I'm cautious as nothing has been announced yet. Is Microsoft giving a conference on the 1st?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
