    I think that the complete public beta build will be 8200, public rc build will be 8400 and the final RTM and GA builds will be 8600

      According to Microsoft: Windows 8 public Beta release date will be Late February, public RC build, RTM and GA release dates well, nobody knows them, i guess only Microsoft officials knows when named other builds will be released, but I think the final RTM build will be released at this fall (september- December – sometime).

    I would much, much rather that they improved on dimensional design for the desktop. Metro looks decent, but being an interface designer myself, Metro just doesn’t do it for me in a day-to-day usability stand point.

    can’t wait for Win 8. Hopefully Microsoft won’t overdue things just like it was with vista. But so far first impressions are amazing
