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. Whether or not the company will go on to release a full version of the Windows 8 Release Candidate (the versions designed have the potential to be the end product) or whether this is indeed it, is unclear.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
