you also can go here to get the rpi. but seem like take a lot of time, because we need them to contact us first if there are stock.
but this is the Malaysian branch of RS Components, so maybe easier if we got some problem with the hardware.

the price is MYR125.00 as for now (4/3/2012) at RS Components website, is it right conversion from USD/£?

hmm, Windows 8 on RPi, i doubt about it. even if we can get Windows 8 boot past locked bootloaders, dont know if the minimum requirement to function properly can be met(assuming not very different with x86 system requirement). I've used on using win XP & win 7 under the min requirement. of course you can use them, but the result isnt very good.

but if somebody can tweak the Windows 8 to run on RPi, i would like to see it. and i dont really know how RPi boot coz still dont have the thing
