The release of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview is almost upon us. It is set to release on Wednesday February 29th. We don’t know what time the bits will actually be made available, but we’re hoping they’ll be released early in the day. We know that all of our readers are just as excited as we are to play with Windows 8, but not everyone will be able to on Wednesday. Have no fear! We’re here to help you get your questions answered about Microsoft’s next operating system. Whether you’re going to be building your own Windows 8 box or not, come back to the DMZ Wednesday night around 8pm ET. We’re going to host a live screencast and question & answer session. Our newest member, Chris Barnes, will be building a Windows 8 virtual machine and sharing it with the world. He, and other DMZ writers, will be available to take questions and discuss all of the great new features of the OS. You’ll be able to watch us interact with Windows 8, and hear us talk about it, just like listening to Josh and Richard record Entertainment 2.0 every week. As if getting to see Windows 8 weren’t enough, we’ll also have a prize to give away! Check back here later for more details.
Update: The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is now available for download! Check it out here.
