Right guys, it’s the news we’ve all been waiting for! Microsoft have announced today that a Windows 8 Developer Preview will be coming along “later this week” They’ve now said that it’s coming tonight! for us to play around with. We’re being told that developers will be able to download the Windows Developer Preview via the new Windows Dev Center later this week. tonight.
The Microsoft Build conference kicked off a couple of hours ago now and you can still watch the presentation live at the moment here. There’s been tons of news and demonstrations coming from the conference which we’ll get to you once it’s over. We’ve got a great look at the new Metro UI, there’s a cool new picture password which really amazed the crowd and the demonstration of apps is pretty impressive.
Now of course it will just be a developers preview build so that means that it will have bugs and things that still need to be sorted out. Even watching the demonstration, there was several times when links didn’t work and touch gestures went out of control much to the amusement of the audience. I’m sure we can expect Microsoft to work out all these little things by the time Windows 8 finally is released, but it will be nice to be able to play around with Windows 8 and get a feel for it.
The download will be available from this page
