Very interesting. Its better to wait for milestone two to leak though. There will be a lot more changes in milestone 2 and the UI will change in Milestone 3. _________________ Case : Corsair Obsidian 800D (Want to change this for a quieter case and a bit smaller)

Apparently it's still a little too early to talk Windows 8

try my site.. it's better.. http://www.thewindowscenter.com/
we put it up on demonoid. it's fast as hell but still looks like 7 on the outside. using it as i type.. only a few changes to the interface like the new user button next to the clock.. i found it cool and i liked that add. we have guys testing the current m3 atm.. but we/they won't leak the builds given to them. we got the m1 from the source of the leak though.. we will be providing accurate info on the leaks and where to get the real ones. oh, and we were the first to get it up for download. or should I say a member. we only provide the info about the leaks... http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2604554/30416032 _________________ Processor: I7 960@4Ghz Mainboard:P6T deluxe V2 Memory:6Gb G Skill 1600@1678 Readyboost:8Gb 2.0 Graphics:KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC, MSI 460GTX TWiiSOC Driver:310.90 x64 Power:TT BlackWidow TR2 RX 850W Storage:Corsair F120ssd, 4x 1.5 TB Sound:Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium TvTuner:PC150-U Monitor:2xAsus VK266H 26inchHD 1920 x 1200 OS:Windows 8 x64 3DMark 11 - P8657

Will games work on it? I dont really want to download an X86 OS because almost all of the software I am using is X64 and most of my current drivers are X64. _________________ Case : Corsair Obsidian 800D (Want to change this for a quieter case and a bit smaller)

it all works even win update. need to roll back the cmos clock to 23 sept of 2010 though. it's time bombed. 30 day use until it asks for activation. but i am gaming with it.. if you don't roll back the clock it will come up not genuine and lock the background. oh and no activation hacks will work. they completely redid activation.. _________________ Processor: I7 960@4Ghz Mainboard:P6T deluxe V2 Memory:6Gb G Skill 1600@1678 Readyboost:8Gb 2.0 Graphics:KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC, MSI 460GTX TWiiSOC Driver:310.90 x64 Power:TT BlackWidow TR2 RX 850W Storage:Corsair F120ssd, 4x 1.5 TB Sound:Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium TvTuner:PC150-U Monitor:2xAsus VK266H 26inchHD 1920 x 1200 OS:Windows 8 x64 3DMark 11 - P8657

Im downloading it and will give it a shot. I just need to download some graphics drivers and clone my OS first. _________________ Case : Corsair Obsidian 800D (Want to change this for a quieter case and a bit smaller)

I had this installed until Avast refused to cooperate. Whenever I installed and updated Avast windows 8 would give a BSOD. Also sometimes while using windows 8 I saw a big slow down but other times it was a shit load faster than windows 7. I will wait for the next Windows 8 leak and see if Avast will work with that. Im back on windows 7 now. _________________ Case : Corsair Obsidian 800D (Want to change this for a quieter case and a bit smaller)
