Windows 8 consumer preview (Beta) installation screenshots leaked

29 Replies

We have earlier posted today that the latest build compiled is Build 8222 which belongs to the beta branch, now recently Italian site WindowsBlogItalia has posted the installation screenshots of Windows 8 consumer preview. The screenshots is believed to be from Windows 8 build 8192 which belongs to the Beta escrow branch and so we won’t see much changes in the build which would be released to public and this build. Here are the screenshots-

These screenshots have also cleared our doubts regarding the naming of the next public release and we can now safely call them as Windows 8 consumer preview. Further the public release of Consumer preview is expected to be in the second half of February.

We would be posting more information about this build as soon as available.

  The link you mentioned doesn’t have the download links to Windows 8 consumer preview, so we haven’t approved, infact it’s currently not available for download anywhere.

    Your right, but as you seen with that link, they have prepared their site for when the Consumer Preview will be available, and download it from there. Also they do have the DP version there and that link was placed there in response to the readers request for it.
