Windows 8 – Developer Preview Live and Ready for Download!

It’s alive….!

Since yesterday…ready, live, hyped enough!
Microsoft launched a site to download the Microsoft Windows 8 Developer Preview, a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers.
Like Microsoft stated, this version ships with prerelease software that may change without notice.

There’s to types of download both with x86 and x64 versions, one it’s a “vanilla” install and other called developers tool which includes:
.: 64-bit Windows Developer Preview
.: Windows SDK for Metro Style Apps
.: Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows Developer Preview
.: Microsoft Expression Blend 5 Developer Preview
.: 28 Metro style apps including the BUILD conference app

The system requirements at least for this build, but probably the final ones…are, like Microsoft said, the “same” that were for Windows 7:

. :1GHz or faster x86 or x64 processor
.: 1GB RAM (x86) or 2GB RAM (x64)
.: 16GB available hard disk space (x86) or 20GB (x64)
.: DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
.: Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch

It’s expected that the downloads run slower for the next days but…give it a try:
