   Windows 8 RTM version leaked – guess where you can get it

   We expected it, and it seems it’s reality now. The Windows 8 RTM (final) version has been leaked to the internet. Yesterday

   we posted that Microsoft employees could get a copy of the RTM version on the Microsoft Campus. With thousands of people getting access, it’s no wonder that it has leaked. The package contains an image of Steve Balmer in a superman suit and the
   .inf file says the following

   NOTE: this is original files NON-boot DVD M$ distributive.
   “ENTERPRISE-N” version Windows 8 not include Windows Media Player.

   As you understand we are not allowed (and don’t allow) links to the file, it has been spread on Torrent sites, so you can guess where to get it.

   The leaked version is a N version, which excludes Windows Media Player, only to be sold in Europe where Microsoft is no longer allowed to sell Windows bundled with Media Player. As this is also an enterprise version this could be leaked from an undisclosed European OEM.

   According to Neowin more ISOs have followed, & they've all been cracked -- so much for the new activation process, huh?

   Microsoft said to block ability to boot straight to desktop in Windows 8

   Those with access to the final builds are discovering the final tweaks Microsoft made to the product since the last public test build, Windows 8 Release Preview, was delivered.

   One of those tweaks is the decision to block users from setting up their Windows 8 machines to boot straight to the Desktop, circumventing the tiled Start screen, formerly known as the Metro screen.

   The leaks keep on coming; this time it's from China and even comes in two flavors, 32 and 64 bit.

   As a reminder, you can get Windows 8 starting on October 26th either by upgrading for $39.99 or with the purchase of a new PC. If you buy an eligible Windows 7 PC today, you will be able to purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $14.99 (U.S.) through the Windows Upgrade Offer.
