I find the ISO download page easier and more useful: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso

The page was also pretty fast for me, 2 seconds to load.

Slow?



My workplace is going to hate me for using the whole bandwidth just to download every windows ISO from the site

They prolly only use it for VoIP priorities anyways, which don't take much.

Does anyone know if RemoveWAT will work with the beta?

(It hosed my DP installation trying to use it this morning, but I don't care since I have to install the beta today anyways. )

I imagine that despite the fact not everyone who'll get 8 will be using apps that it'll still have a pretty decent collection of apps.

Listening to XP's tour & welcome music while downloading and following the live blog. Hell yeah!

I miss the OOBE music.

Feels good to be the network Administrator and responsible for our firewalls, so nobody can check, that i'm downloading every fucking windows version right now.

[barttool]

Poor julie and her awkward lecturing skills

[Panda X]

Huzzah, finished downloading. See you in 15.

"Also, we're sitting here watching a copy dialog."

Sounds awesome.

[barttool]

that skydrive app looks sweet

[Colton Rappe]

Can someone get me a MD5 Hash of the file once they have it downloaded? I want to make sure that this ISO is 100% good before I burn it to a DVD-R.

yes.

[Ninja101]

I've got mine installing in a VM for the time being. If it's all good I'll probably install it dual-booting with Windows 7.

[barttool]

Still 4 hours to go :(

Moment, grabbing a SHA1 hash also to make sure it matches the one on Microsoft website.

And it doesn't, so you can ignore this hash I guess

[GoDong-DK]

No stomach, I don't want to be on the toilet, I want to watch this shit right now.


Understand my frustration.
