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?
 
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.
 
From what I have been reading I have a feeling we all gonna be hunting for touch sensitive mice from now on. Well that is if you dont have a touch screen or touchpad.

Gestures is now available from em as well.

Can not wait to play with my copy but like I said will probably only happen over the weekend.

Oh and they now have a movie market place as well (R50 says we not gonna see this one)
