I have access to MSDNAA through my college, Here's to hoping it pops up there at the same time. It had the dev and consumer previews up there so if im lucky it will have the actual version as well. It has every other microsoft product known to man afterall.

Ye mine too, I even wrote the support, that I would be glad if they add it as soon as possible.^^
I wondered, if I could compile my existing Windows 8 App for RTM but then I realized, I will need the Visual Studio 2012 RTM too. So I'll have to wait.
Or does somebody know, if it is enough to use Windows 8 RTM with Visual Studio 2012 RC to get rid of that error when uploading to the store:
Validation error: This package wasn't built for the current version of Windows. Install the current version of Windows and build the package again.
(I don't think so, because the recompiling will need the Windows 8 RTM SDK which will be changed slightly)

Following the announced delay of Windows Mobile 7, an intermediary upgrade step has been confirmed. While visiting Australia for Liberation Day, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spoke of the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for next year in his roadmap.
In talking about Windows Mobile 6.5, Steve Ballmer did not go in to specifics but did hint at an improvement in the interface and flow of the software. It is believed, however, that this will be the first release to contain the reported Zune software integration instead of the much delayed Windows Mobile 7 release.
Though there was no specific date given for Windows Mobile 7, it was believed to be scheduled for as late as the third quarter of 2010, two years away.
Sources close to Microsoft have indicated to Neowin that Windows Mobile 6.5 is currently being readied for device partners who should receive copies within the next month. It's possible that 6.5 could be ready in 2009 Q1.

Windows 7 is still a strong OS, a few improvements here and there would be nice, but Windows 8 isn't needed yet, especially since it's aimed at touch input machines which still aren't cheap enough the average household.
If it ain't broke, Don't fix it Micro$oft!
Polish that hideous abortion you call MetroUI for another 12 months otherwise it's going to be another Windows *gulp* Vista.....(swallows vomit)

Obviously not. If you download software using torrents et. al. make a good guess on whether this would be legal.
It's a 30 trial without a key, after 30 days it'll take to to the windows store and tell you to buy it (changed the vm date for shots and giggles to check). So I would say its pretty damn legal (aslong as the activation isn't hacked)
I have PRO installed and fully activated with my VLSC key. I am having grief mind with the AMD Catalyst drivers installing and for some reaosn i cant add more email aco****s like i could in the preview. That said though the pro leak at least seems ok.
