I guessed it wouldn't work, but oh well ;)

Already got the server version up and running in VMware ... God I hate how they force you to hit ctrl-alt-delete by default

*All* NT-based OSes used to be like that (client and server) - the change on the clients didn't take place until 2000 Professional (and that meant no login screen at all). (Can you say "insecure"?)

That's actually one thing i like about Windows 8 - it forces users to actually pay attention to security!

you can't download form MSDN or technet without a subscription, if you aren't logged in you will get an error

I've got 76meg here and only getting 1.4MB/s and 1.7MB/s for x64 and x86

I have a 100/100 connection and mine goes anywhere up to 6 maybe it depends on what part of the country you are in.

Live for all

This version is serialized. So even if you download it, you still need a serial number. Interesting, that's a different ISO than what I'm getting from technet.

Serial is on the download page for the public ISOs

Your right the ISO's are different between the public version and the technet version. I wonder what is different

[Darrian]

The serial number is published on the site under FAQ>Downloading and Installing.

[George P Global Moderator]

Sweet, downloading 32bit ISO right now, got my vbox vm ready.

[Auroka]

It says the serial number is TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF in the FAQ.

[Kelxin]

Ok, that's interesting also. On technet I received 3 serial numbers, all different from that one.

Indeed it is - IDM is cranking away at 2 MB/second (Comcast Xfinity Performance Internet via ARRIS WBM-760A). Should be all done in less than 30 minutes barring snags/slowdowns.

Downloading on CP for VHD testing.

The technet version says with apps and the public one just states release preview

[BajiRav]

done :D

[Klownicle]

Downloading at my max of 5MB's on the public 32bit. Going to install this on my Acer W500. Figure I should go for the 32bit since the windows 7 install was. Only has 2gb of memory anyways.

[Stoffel]

WOEHOE going full speed at 73.4KB/s :(

Will be installing this tomorrow morning when I get up

Thank you! (Y)

I'm getting far better speeds from the public link than MSDN. If you're finding MSDN slow, give the public links a try.

[Kelxin]

Technet has slowed to 2MB/s
