Windows 8 developer preview out
Microsoft has released its Windows 8 Developer Preview operating system, for PCs and tablets, to the public as a free download.
This is the same software which Microsoft gave to developers on prototype Samsung tablets this week at the company’s Build conference in Anaheim.
And while this pre-beta version of Windows 8 is not close to ready for consumer consumption, and meant to be used by developers who are looking to make apps for the desktop and tablet OS, anyone can download the software — no developer registration or anything like that needed.
