Perfect, a giant blue screen.

I think it's more purple than blue. Regardless, this is good news.

I'd like to know if "release preview" is another name for "release candidate".

Not eager on its release but standing at the side lines to see how it will turn out.

bad thing ASUS won't update their sound card drivers by then...

If you are using P5LD2, don't think ASUS will put up drivers for it anymore.

Since it uses a Realtek ALC882, maybe you can check out Realtek to see if they have new drivers.

Using a P5KSE myself and it haven't been any updates since Vista time, though it runs Win7 ok.

ASUS wants users to upgrade :p

On the other hand if its the Xonar audio cards then you can check out this driver:

Canouna was right , he told about its arrival at end of may/beg of june in march!

(A month ago)

From the UI side, some slight changes for the Charm bar, Language input menu, Internet Explorer 10 (Desktop version), a bunch of color set, etc?

And what we know now is flatter buttons for Explorer and more metroish Windows Aero theme.
