Default Windows 8 Consumer Preview

This thread is not to talk about one OS versus another or to b1tch about how much you hate a company. I want this to be for people who are interested in the new OS, wanted to trial it before it goes live, and to ask questions and share.

Link to download: Download Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Link to download ISO: Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO formats

I suggest using the ISO link as this will allow you to burn to a DVD or bootable USB device and install on anything. Please read:

System Requirements
Windows 8 Consumer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows 7:

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)

Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device or higher

To use touch, you need a tablet or monitor that supports multitouch

To access Windows Store and to download and run apps, you need an active Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768

To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768
These requirements are the same as Windows 7, so if you run 7 fine you should be good to test this, but if not then it might be time for an upgrade soon.

Now let the fun begin and start testing and asking questions.
Also, if you have an error or crash please supply what hardware/drivers you have to help solve any problems and submit it to Microsoft. This preview is to help them make the OS better before the final revision. Also, if you are happy or dislike something email them and supply suggestions as they do listen.
