Thread: Microsoft Windows 8 Release Preview

  1. #1

    Default Microsoft Windows 8 Release Preview

    The MSFT website and servers are inaccessible. Perhaps the latest Win8 preview has been released and 100 million people are downloading...?

    Anyone able to access microsoft.com or windows8.com? Maybe it's the pipe to the States that's clogged? However, other sites are OK, and even Bing is up...

    Highly doubt it would be due to bandwidth constraints, not with their Akamia contract.

    Well, I think they still with Akamai?
    .... and thanks for all the fish.

    I see Win8 and other possible sites are up again, and Win8 Release Preview hasn't officially dropped yet.

    I assume they're still using Akamai. Might have been a temp routing prob.

    I'm sorry, but OS's is one thing I will not use unless its run/seeded by the original content creator.

    Inside the OS is the best place ever to hide mallware as no AV would ever pick it up.

    That's probably the Chinese version that was leaked a few days ago.

    You should wait for the official release, it should be out in the next hour or so.
