Technet/MSDN members, post your excitement for RTM in 3 days here!

Where did you guys get the info that the DreamSpark Premium folk also get Windows 8 today? Just want to make sure it's not a rumor.

Also, would it be in bad manners (or against forum rules for that matter) to ask for a link to the iso? Since I'll most likely be getting my own license key in a matter of time... :p

[Dashel]

That's what I'm waiting for too. Hope it's up soon; I'm ready to rebuild my home DC.

Server isn't due for a couple more weeks (Sept 4th).

Thanks! Let's hope that the delay was caused by the traffic problems and now that they've fixed it...

But still only RP and CP :/

But still only RP and CP :/

yep :(

[0nyX]

Same here on DreamSpark Premium. Only the CP and a bunch of RP's (DEbug,Symbols)

Is there a way to change the colour of the writing in the toolbars? I changed my theme to black and the writing is just black, not even a white glow.

Also the Xbox Music app cannot find any of my music, I think it may be because it's on a separate harddrive, however it is showing up in Libraries.

Also Windows Media player cannot play any videos, I just get a black screen and audio...

Guys I just did a clean install, activated Windows, now redownloading all my apps/games/etc and I feel awesome! Soo happy :) In complete love with WIndows 8 :)

[Elliot Arthur Sandell]

Not out on Dreamspark until the 25th apparently...

So it seems. Guess I'm going to try the 90 days while it's not on DreamSpark

[Elliot Arthur Sandell]

Apparently Staff/Faculty get it today, students on the 25th.

[Descartes]

That sucks.

@Elliot: there's DreamSpark and DreamSpark Premium, according to this the Win 8 should be available on DreamSpark Premium today. Also, according to the Lee Scott whom you already referred to, it is in fact available on DSP, but the faculty's or university's DreamSpark admin has to publish it, so it may not be visible to everyone yet.

So much misinformation.... haha. I am actually on the staff so can get it as that anyway, but can't check until tomorrow :(

[grayscale]

Damn it. Dreamspark was the first page I opened when I woke up :(

Also, the trial version is not upgradable so no point of picking it up, either XD

[Elliot Arthur Sandell]

To confirm its not on the Faculty/staff Dreamspark and can't find it on the admin portal.

[SirEvan]

boo my ACM subscription canceled my MSDNAA account. fooey. Guess I'll have to wait for a key to show up on the net that I can use until the product is available in stores.

[TruckWEB]

"Where getting your PC ready", "Installing apps", ... with the colorful background....

Yeah, it's installed...

[Guest]

Still not excited as there's still no RTM drivers from AMD or realtek for video and audio.

[Descartes]

I guess I'll have to pick up the iso from alternative sources and wait until i get my key :p

Are you sure that DreamSpark admin has to publish it manually?

Because, AFAIK, it used to be like this for MSDN:AA but now it's automated.
