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_53
Just 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.

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.
