Metro takes getting used to if you have had 0 experience with it. You got to brush up on your keyboard shortcuts and learn the gestures. I'd rather go through it with a pre-release than have a crash course at RTM.

I mentioned exactly that back when the Developer Preview became publicly available. "Windows 2000 Professional for Dummies" got dusted off and put to hard usage. (And to answer that inevitably-asked question, I bought the book for work (at the time) - not home, as I had been running 2000 Professional at home since it launched. I was working at Big Cable Company, and we were in the process of shifting from NT4WS to Windows 2000 Professional companywide. 2000 Pro is different enough from NT4WS that things weren't entirely the same - especially in terms of keyboard usage.)

Obviously a clean install is recommended, I did an upgrade from Win7 to Win8 CP, and have Codec issues, would an install where I keep my files be ok? Is that any different than performing a clean install and then dragging my files onto an external drive?

Still waiting for some public links for those not on MSDN/Technet etc.

If someone with a Technet account, downloading with FF right clicks the download and chooses Copy Download Link, you can share those links ending in ,32

W00t, thanks for the TechNet link :0 Downloading now at 2.7MB/s! Close to the max of this 30Mbps connection at work, at home i have 50Mbps so guess i'll prolly try getting it there instead to not suck the life from the bandwidth at work :D

    • Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.
    • I think there will be a 27H1 for actual users of 26H1 The 25h2 supports ARM too : Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite
    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two.
