    Just came across this demo of windows 8 on youtube & it blew my mind.

    The suspense is near the End.

    Is this Real ?

    Need opinions of Window's experts.

    From where can I download it ?

    Thanks

    It is more than probable this is a fake as the Windows 8 beta should be released around June 2011 and untill then we will not be sure.

    Some MSPs may have a beta release now and maybe DavidCP can shed some light on that.

    I have seen various sites purporting to have Windows 8 but i do not think it is yet possible and would probably infect your PC if you were to download it.

    I love the bit at the end where he says "I don't get it, I just don't get it." No, I don't think he does :-D

    Yup, I've only seen M1 or M2 leaks so far. I'd never touch anything else than a public beta direct from MS as the others are usually full of problems and I don't have the patience anymore. I had enough with fooling around with Vista alphas to last me a lifetime, never again.;)

    Vista retail release is horrible... I can't imagine what the alphas were like.

    My thoughts too.

    I find many mis-statements in the video. One is Office 2011. Office 2011 is for Mac, not Windows. And, the video just makes numerous unbelievable statements:

    Open source [so, Microsoft is going Open Source on this one? I have a bridge in Manhattan I'll sell you.]
    All the software you need is bundled [Really, "all"?]
    3.6GB of space consumed on hard drive even with all the bundled software
    Office 2011 (wrong, that’s for Mac)
    Up to 32 desktops
    3D desktop
    Emulates all versions of Windows to run old programs [hmm, "all versions ... all the way back to Windows 1.0]
    Ultimate is only version [hmm, only one version]
    Adobe Reader 9 [why would they bundle this version?]
    Immune to Viruses [Immune, really?]
    Browser is named Namoroka [I believe that is in the Mozilla arena]

    Actually, I liked the last Longhorn release better than Vista as MS bit off more than it could chew ATT. Vista wasn't bad for an OS that was put together in such a short time relatively speaking, but folks were talking about it as a relative to ME. The launch was late, hardware manufacturers were late with drivers, Vista Ready logo was poorly used by makers trying to get rid of old stock etc. etc.

    Quite the fiasco IMO especially since they were under the gun by corporations who had bought into their 2 year cycle and saw nothing. I believe W7 is what Vista could have been and W8 what Longhorn was envisioned to be. We shall see if the three pillars will be there or it was a pipe dream to start with.
