Microsoft has launched Windows 8 Release Preview. The world's computers run almost entirely on Windows, and with the latest version of the software Microsoft is planning its biggest revolution in nearly 20 years. The versatility of Windows 8 is expected to spawn a new generation of computers that are part laptop, part tablet.
You can grab the newest Windows 8 test bits for x86/x64 systems from preview.windows.com. Testers running the Consumer Preview of Windows 8 will not be able to upgrade; you'll need to do a clean install. Microsoft has also made available for public download the Release Candidates of Windows Server 8 and Visual Studio 2012 (VS11), keeping the three products in lockstep, as has been the case throughout the Windows 8 testing process. The most noticeable change between the Consumer Preview and Release Preview is the apps. Microsoft has been working to get developers of all stripes, not just its own interns and the Bing team, to build Metro-Style apps.
The app previews from Microsoft that were preloaded with the Consumer Preview have been enhanced. Microsoft also has added some other new Microsoft-developed Windows 8 apps, including News, Travel and Sports, as was reported earlier this month. The Metro-Style apps are expected to continue to evolve, even after Windows 8 is released to manufacturing (RTM), with developers providing updates via the integrated Store in Windows 8.
