Windows 8 Consumer Preview February 29
Posted By Mike Bender / 10th February 2012
By all accounts Microsoft will be releasing Windows 8 Consumer Preview at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. A few sources are stating that build 8250 will be the bits released.
At Windows8Beta.com confirmation has been made that build 8227 has been compiled and is quite stable. This is great news if Microsoft is to have any chance of getting Windows 8 running on device yet this year.
In a recent post on Building Windows 8 Blog, Microsoft in a video showcased many apps for Windows 8 on Arm (WOA). The results appear to be pretty impressive. What is even more exciting is the demo of Office 15 on ARM (3:54) was shown along with a few more features and things to expect from the consumer preview. In the video, they also momentarily, showed how Google’s services work with Windows 8 and the Windows Store even makes an appearance.
I don’t know about you but I am very excited to get my hands on this upcoming build!
