I just got news from the windows forum.
For anyone curious about this:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/will-windows-8-upgrade-version-work-on-the-preview/67d44cea-dc0b-420a-8b0d-dd7ad150154d
Hi
You will be able to install Windows 8 final over the Preview version. The migrate option will allow you to keep your personal files.
You will still need an underlying license (Product Key) for a qualifying version of Windows (XP, Vista, or Windows 7).
Regards
I know this is the hardware forum, but i don't see a software one (with the exception of games)
The windows 8 upgrade is going to cost 39.99, I plan to install the consumer preview this weekend. Will the upgrade work with the consumer preview? Or will I have to reinstall win7 and then win8 upon release?
[QUOTE="Ghost_loy"]Thanks for the help guys, I'll be getting some software soon, as I now have Firefly and the original SW Trilogy on bluray but can't play them. This does seem silly. Chris_53Just wondering, what monitor/TV will you be using with it ? Also good luck with the software, Blu-Ray is totally awesome in my opinion, much better than DVD. This is what I'm using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049 As for the disc not coming with any software. It came with a Bluray program for transfering files to a disc, but not for playing them. I can check again just to be sure but I'm fairly certain it only came with Cyberlink Power2Go.
Of the companies that usually do thing at E3 which ones are not going to be present or are not going to be making any announcements?
Found this on another forum.
No sh*t the servers are busy. Blizzard has been in the business for over a decade but dont know what a login queue is. to top it off theyre already mass deleting threads on their forum cuz everyone is massivlely pissed at this debaucle. they make 1 billion dollars a year, cant put some of that into temporarily increasing the number of login servers during launch. blizzard ftw +1.
Quoted for truth.
They shouldn't have had this stupid always online **** anyway and then I could be playing LAN with my roomate.
I told a bunch of people at work this would happen. Thy told me Blizzard has learned from the beta and it wont be an issue. I just talked to them on steam...they can't get in either.
This is what I have.
