Pocket-Lint: The Microsoft Windows 8 Release Preview download presents a simple choice for the tech enthusiast of the PC persuasion: should you install it or not?
Well, first, it’s probably a good idea to know what a release preview build is. So far, Microsoft has parted with standard testing phase nomenclature - alpha, beta and release candidate - and presented the world with the Windows 8 Developer Preview, Consumer Preview and now the Release Preview.
