It looks like we'll be hearing much more on Windows 8 in the coming days, so please stay tuned to our sister site Windows 8 Forums (http://www.win8forums.com/) to keep up to date on the latest news.

Becky is posting daily Windows 8 news, but feel free to post your own if you spot something interesting.

The Windows 8 Forum software is slightly different to that used on Windows 7 forums and comes with some clever new features. We'll be adding some of the things that you are used to (i.e. system specs) in the coming weeks. Please do let us know your feedback on the other site so that we can continue to improve it.

Nice, i'll take a look at the new site

Edit: Are we meant to login with our original user and pass from this forum or do we have to register again? Do you have a linked database for the users there from this forum? I was reading some of the above contents and thats what I originally assumed, was that you could login using your username from this forum.

Edit2: Nevermind I just registered manually

win8forums is independent from w7forums. Creating a new ID for win8forums is the only way.

Good to see you over there Ace . As Clifford mentioned, it's a new database so requires people to re-register over there, should only take a second .

[Ace]

Well it only took me a second as you say so i'm not worried about it Maybe i'll have more knowledge to contribute that about the actual operating system if I ever get Windodws 8

Looks like the re-launch was just in time... the Windows 8 Developer Preview will be available for download later on today:

I may try testing it on a separate partition for a while or my virtual box.

Right on. Got it from the source here. I am installing now but am off out for the day. Looking good so far though.

Unless 2 or 3 of us are doing it totally wrong. It doesn't seem to like VBox, VMWare Player or VMWare Workstation. Installs have gone fine from USB and DVD and once installed from within '8' you get to set up your dual boot set up.
