During the first day of BUILD 2011, the conference for Microsoft developers has been made available a "developer preview" of the expected 8 Microsoft Windows operating system. The download of the installation image is public, but when a load is reported on Microsoft's servers, so you must have some 'patience.
For now, have been devoted to systems released versions 64bit (x64) and 32bit (x32). Attar verso Microsoft informed that this page is currently not a procedure for upgrading from Windows 7 to the developer preview, it is guaranteed the opportunity to keep own accounts, the data relating to the individual user settings. In case of installation on systems where it was previously installed Windows XP will be maintained only individual accounts and user files.
Here are the hardware requirements set by Microsoft for using Windows developer preview 8:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics with WDDM 1.0 or higher device drivers
Taking advantage of touch screen to input Requires That Supports multi-touch
In the information page of Microsoft, however, there is a phrase that sums up much better than the requirements for the use of OS: Windows Developer Preview works great on the Hardware That Powers examination Windows Vista and Windows 7 . So no worries: the new operating system can be tested on an ordinary PC that already use with Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Keep in mind the nature of this issue: the status of a developer preview calls for caution and to 'use only for testing operations. It would be desirable to prevent the installation of systems in production on this release also paying attention to the management of user data and the apparition of the disc. The creation of a dedicated virtual machine could be a viable solution.
And finally after the recommendations and information rite here is the official page dedicated to the Microsoft download. For those who have an MSDN subscription Microsoft has made available some additional downloads.
