I've a question I have never installed beta version of windows before, my first beta version is windows 8 will I be able to update CP to RP through windows update ? or I've to download RP

I'm fairly certain you'll have to download the Release Preview.

So we all know that the RP will be released on the 1st of June, but do we have any hour for the release?

No we don't but whatever hour it actually is it'll be in Pacific time zone since that's where MS HQ is. I'm guessing, if it's on the 1st, it could be 8am pacific, or later in the day. So depending on where you live it could actually be out on the 2nd for you.

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?!

Those keys are taken from sources\product.ini in the WRP ISO, anybody can get the same thing when WRP is released.

From what I heard thru my friends and in web, any ISO download by the OEM/TAP's thru Connect bears some kind of "OEM ID", no idea of how it is done or how it works, but they all believe it makes the ISO traceable.

WRP screen-shots, I picked some of them, there are a few more in the thread

They did this in the Windows 2000 technical beta. Somehow the ISOs were watermarked with our beta IDs but the images all seemed to be identical. Quite a few accounts lost access.

So today I went to one of my competitors place of business today to chitchat with him. I was in the area. Lets just say after talking to him my grandma knows as much about Windows 8 than he does. He knows NOTHING!. I don't think he's even seen videos or screenshots of it. He said "I'm kind of weird that way! I don't like to fill my grey matter with stuff I won't have to worry about for a while".

He knows nothing about what it looks like, he knows nothing about the Metro Title interface and was surprised when I told him the start button is going to be gone / hidden. Why exactly is he hearing it from me for the first time? He is never any fun to talk to, because he is never current on anything new.

Well I finally got that Chinese 8400 Release Preview installed...

Apart from it being a bit faster and the metro tiles not being so illuminous and the start square thing is a bit smaller - Nothing has changed visually that I can see

Disappointingly similar to the CP except customisation was disabled because it wasn't activated and store was dead too

Give us some video demos please :p ! Also hows music app?

No point in video demos, its nearly identical to the CP

Here is the music app (Not my music :p), bear in mind most things are not working because I had to install it by extracting .wim and thus no product key thus nothing really works

wouldn't mind seeing WMP in desktop and metro and please visit html5test.com with IE10 metro and desktop and post the scores. Is the U.I of IE desktop the same as IE9?

WMP player looks the same as Windows 7 / Win 8 CP

IE 10 Desktop and Metro get 319 + 6 Bonus points

Yea IE 10 desktop looks the same as IE9

So today I went to one of my competitors place of business today to chitchat with him. I was in the area. Lets just say after talking to him my grandma knows as much about Windows 8 than he does.

Why exactly is he hearing it from me for the first time? He is never any fun to talk to, because he is never current on anything new.

Um, why should he concern himself with something that wont be out for months?

Someone who knows about Windows 8 and/or has it installed is unlikely to go to a shop for help...

An average user probably wouldn't but you would think a repair person would like to be informed about what is in the pipline.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
