CODE
Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102.winmain_win8m3.110830-1739 was compiled on August 30, 2011, some two weeks ago, and still belongs to the Milestone 3 stage of the development process.

According to Steven Sinofsky, President, Windows and Windows Live Division, a lot of work has already gone into building Windows 8, including 2 million installs internally, 9.3 million performance tests, 1 trillion telemetry data points analyzed, and in excess of 380,000 hours of compatibility testing.

Just a reminder, Windows 8 will deliver the same full PC experience whether it’s running on traditional computers or tablets / slates and additional next-generation form factors.

Featuring support for ARM-based chipsets, but also for x86 and x64 CPUs, Windows 8 is optimized for touch devices and that’s why the new Metro UI Start Screen takes center-stage pushing the desktop to the background.

Windows 8 comes with Internet Explorer 10 (IE10), a new Metro platform for immersive applications, enhanced performance, its own Windows Store, and so much more.

Sinofsky made it clear that there are hundreds of new features in Windows 8 that await to be discovered, so early adopters should download Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 as soon as it becomes available and start testing.
System Requirements

Windows Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7:

   1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
   1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
   16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
   DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
   Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch

Nope,Windows Developer Preview (32-bit or 64-bit) still can keep file,unless you are talking about Windows Developer Preview with developer tools.

Yes, just installed on another partition and works well. nod.gif
Extracted ISO with rar or 7-zip and run setup with clean install (in previous 7989 Build OS) .

Rename shsxs.dll to shsxs.dll.old in C:\windows\system32 folder, log off, log back on:
- old start menu back
- old task manager back (needs a few seconds to load)
- new explorer presented

Installed Win8 in dual boot with Win7 on Asus A42JK.

LAN does not work. Jmicron lan card driver is not accepted by Win8. However Wifi does work.

Any suggestions?
*
If WiFi working,start Windows Update and you will get driver for LAN from Microsoft.

Probably Developer Preview couldn't be updated to Beta without a reinstallation right?
*
Not sure yet. hmm.gif
Anyway,any new info I'll post here.


Edit:
From "reliable source":

CODE
Im not for update build to build, but i have tried it, from m2 to pre beta, upgrade working fine.
Ex: Installed a M2, updated to 7989, updated to WDP, updated to Pre-Beta = working.

Also working downgrading.

what I don't like is its troublesome if I wanna close a program(must use task mngr), and very troublesome if wanna switch between programmes, eg switching Socialite to Tweet@rama, either need to alt+tab or click start, can't click at task bar..
